Re: [f2fs-dev] [PATCH 1/2] f2fs: evict inode cache for frozen fs

From: Chao Yu
Date: Thu Mar 10 2022 - 22:11:13 EST


Jaegeuk,

Could you please send v2 patch to mailing list? as I saw the revised
one has been merged in dev branch.

Otherwise, I've no idea where I should reply "Reviewed-by" tag to...

Thanks,

Ah, finally we catch this. :)
