We've added a new mount option "checkpoint=merge", which creates a
kernel daemon and makes it to merge concurrent checkpoint requests as
much as possible to eliminate redundant checkpoint issues. Plus, we
can eliminate the sluggish issue caused by slow checkpoint operation
when the checkpoint is done in a process context in a cgroup having
low i/o budget and cpu shares, and The below verification result
explains this.
Could you please summary and add below info into commit message and f2fs.rst?
"Actually, the default I/O priority of kernel thread is "4". So, we're
going to raise this
priority by one, because we want to give one higher priority for
checkpointing thread
than other normal threads. This is the same way to give a I/O priority
to the jbd2 journaling
thread of ext4 filesystem."
Otherwise this patch looks good to me.
Thanks,
