[PATCH 04/10] f2fs: give an option to enable in-place-updates during fsync to users
From: Jaegeuk Kim
Date: Sun Sep 14 2014 - 18:16:55 EST
If user wrote F2FS_IPU_FSYNC:4 in /sys/fs/f2fs/ipu_policy, f2fs_sync_file
only starts to try in-place-updates.
And, if the number of dirty pages is over /sys/fs/f2fs/min_fsync_blocks, it
keeps out-of-order manner. Otherwise, it triggers in-place-updates.
This may be used by storage showing very high random write performance.
For example, it can be used when,
Seq. writes (Data) + wait + Seq. writes (Node)
is pretty much slower than,
Rand. writes (Data)
