Hammmm, you are right, thanks for the fix, and I really tested the patch with reinserting module of 'null_blk' after lots of IOs, now I know the reason: the scale of my test is still too small to cover the slow path in case of the batch of 1000000, and only the part in fast path is verified to be OK.
