Re: [PATCH v2] f2fs: wait IO writeback in commit_inmem_pages()

[Chao Yu]

Hi Jaegeuk,

I just look into this flow again, found that in previous patch ("f2fs: fix to
wait page writeback during revoking atomic write") we have already called
f2fs_wait_on_page_writeback in __revoke_inmem_pages, so we don't need to call
redundant filemap_fdatawait here.

Anyway, let me merge these two patches.

Thanks,
