[PATCH 3/3] f2fs: flush dirty directory pages when scattered pages are gathered

[Jaegeuk Kim]

If a lot of directory inodes have the small number of dentry pages in each
page cache, there is no chance to flush them periodically.
This patch proposes the average number of dirty dentry pages for the threshold.
