Let me rephrase the question. If inode is newly created, is this data block
really valid to move in GC?

Aren't we seeing the below version warnings?

if (sum->version != dni->version) {
	f2fs_warn(sbi, "%s: valid data with mismatched node version.",
                           __func__);
        set_sbi_flag(sbi, SBI_NEED_FSCK);
}

So, we're getting this? Does this incur infinite loop in GC?

if (!test_and_set_bit(segno, SIT_I(sbi)->invalid_segmap)) {
	f2fs_err(sbi, "mismatched blkaddr %u (source_blkaddr %u) in seg %u\n",
	f2fs_bug_on(sbi, 1);
}
