Re: [PATCH V2] f2fs: introduce free nid bitmap

From: Chao Yu
Date: Sat Feb 25 2017 - 01:31:25 EST


Hi Jaegeuk,

I added below diff code into this patch in order to fix incorrectly nid status
updating to reduce large latency of generic/251 in fstest, could you help to
review code below?

Latency: before after
generic/251 1483s ... 184s
