Hi Kim,
    I found the old following patch, you have mentioned one reason why "nid != nid_of_node(page)" in
that commit message.

http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/jaegeuk/f2fs.git/commit/?h=dev&id=3bb5e2c8fe2296ddd9d864dcfb5ee1b77135f3ec

    f2fs: return -EIO when node id is not matched

    During the cleaing of node segments, F2FS can get errored node blocks due to
    data race between node page lock and its valid bitmap operations.
    In that case, it needs to return an error to skip such the obsolete block copy.
