Re: [f2fs-dev] [PATCH 2/2] f2fs: avoid IO split due to mixed WB_SYNC_ALL and WB_SYNC_NONE

Show all headers | View raw

Hi Jaegeuk,

Can we split in place update bios into single sbi->f2fs_bio_info for more page
merged in out place update? This case can be show as below:

in place update submit a bio with one page
	out place update submit a bio with one page
in place update submit a bio with one page
	out place update submit a bio with one page
... ...

just like WB_SYNC_ALL and WB_SYNC_NONE case.

Thanks.
