[PATCH 1/5] f2fs: add mount option for segment allocation policy

From: Jaegeuk Kim
Date: Mon Feb 26 2018 - 12:48:03 EST


This patch adds an mount option, "alloc_mode=%s" having two options, "default"
and "reuse".

In "alloc_mode=reuse" case, f2fs starts to allocate segments from 0'th segment
all the time to reassign segments. It'd be useful for small-sized eMMC parts.
