Re: [f2fs-dev] [PATCH 5/5 v3] f2fs: introduce a batched trim

[Jaegeuk Kim]

Hi Changman,

Good idea!

Change log from v2:
 o add sysfs to change the # of sections for trimming.
 
Change log from v1:
 o add description
 o change the # of batched segments suggested by Chao
 o make consistent for # of batched segments

This patch introduces a batched trimming feature, which submits split discard
commands.

This is to avoid long latency due to huge trim commands.
If fstrim was triggered ranging from 0 to the end of device, we should lock
all the checkpoint-related mutexes, resulting in very long latency.
