[PATCH 1/2] f2fs: fix to commit bio cache after flushing node pages

From: Chao Yu
Date: Mon Sep 26 2016 - 12:12:06 EST


From: Chao Yu <yuchao0@xxxxxxxxxx>

In sync_node_pages, we won't check and commit last merged pages in private
bio cache of f2fs, as these pages were taged as writeback, someone who is
waiting for writebacking of the page will be blocked until the cache was
committed by someone else.

We need to commit node type bio cache to avoid potential deadlock or long
delay of waiting writeback.
