Re: [PATCH 2/2 v2] f2fs: introduce gc_urgent mode for background GC
From: Jaegeuk Kim
Date: Mon Aug 07 2017 - 23:09:34 EST
Change log from v1:
- update Documentation.
This patch adds a sysfs entry to control urgent mode for background GC.
If this is set, background GC thread conducts GC with gc_urgent_sleep_time
all the time.
