[PATCH] f2fs: provide f2fs_balance_fs to __write_data_page for dentry pages

From: Yunlong Song
Date: Sat Jul 29 2017 - 09:19:51 EST


f2fs_balance_fs of dentry pages is skipped in __write_data_page due to deadlock
of gc_mutex in write_checkpoint flow. This patch enables f2fs_balance_fs for
normal dentry page writeback to ensure there are always enough free segments.
