Sorry, maybe there is a problem with my vim configuration.
The strange thing is that checkpatch.pl didn't check it out.

We can't remove stack from depot, as we store them contiguously one after
another in a contiguous memory allocation.

Or we can limit the recorded stack number.

$ grep -nr "SBI_NEED_FSCK" fs/f2fs/ --include=*.c --include=*.h | wc -l
53
$ grep -nr "f2fs_bug_on" fs/f2fs/ --include=*.c --include=*.h | wc -l
135

Since we only have two hundred possible settings here, considering that
the same stack will not be recorded, and the probability of occurrence will
not be high, so it is acceptable not to release?

If this is the case, the subsequent allocation does not need to be released.

Thx,
