Thanks for your detailed explanation and clues. :)

After I investigate just now, I found one possible case:

- get_node_info
1. miss cache in nat cache, because valid & dirty nat entry is exist in
journal cache of curseg
2. miss cache in journal cache of curseg, because concurrent checkpoint
merge journal cache into nat cache before flushing.
3. checkpoint flush valid nat entry (blkaddr is NULL) from nat cache
to journal cache, and add it to free nid cache.
4. try_to_free_nats free the clean nat entry in cache.
5. get old nat entry(blkaddr is non-NULL, last valid one is store in
journal of curseg) after get_current_nat_page, we update nat cache
with old nat entry.

Is that right?

Thanks,
