[PATCH] f2fs: introduce gc_urgent_mid mode

From: Daeho Jeong
Date: Wed Mar 16 2022 - 00:14:30 EST


From: Daeho Jeong <daehojeong@xxxxxxxxxx>

We need a mid level of gc urgent mode to do GC forcibly in a period
of given gc_urgent_sleep_time, but not like using greedy GC approach
and switching to SSR mode such as gc urgent high mode. This can be
used for more aggressive periodic storage clean up.
