Yes, but I didn't get why this patch updates .should_migrate_blocks for
gc_thread_func() case? If this is added to avoid breaking from below condition,
I guess it's not necessary, since victim selected from gc_thread_func() will
always be dirty, so get_valid_blocks(sbi, segno, true) == BLKS_PER_SEC(sbi)
will be false anyway? or am I missing something?

/*
* stop BG_GC if there is not enough free sections.
* Or, stop GC if the segment becomes fully valid caused by
* race condition along with SSR block allocation.
*/
if ((gc_type == BG_GC && has_not_enough_free_secs(sbi, 0, 0)) ||
(!force_migrate && get_valid_blocks(sbi, segno, true) ==
BLKS_PER_SEC(sbi)))
return submitted;

Thanks,
