    f2fs: fix to avoid accessing uninitialized field of inode page in is_alive() · 98194030
    Chao Yu authored
    If inode is newly created, inode page may not synchronize with inode cache,
    so fields like .i_inline or .i_extra_isize could be wrong, in below call
    path, we may access such wrong fields, result in failing to migrate valid
    target block.
