[PATCH] f2fs: discard small invalid blocks in current active segments

From: Yunlong Song
Date: Sat Aug 26 2017 - 08:49:56 EST


1. write file A with 5 blocks to current empty active segment
2. remove file A
3. write checkpoint
4. write file B with 507 blocks to the same active segment

If file B is alive all the time, the blocks used by file A will never be
discarded. So current active segment should also be treated as a candidate
for small discards.
