Re: [RFC 0/5] Enable f2fs support inline data

[Namjae Jeon]

Hi. Huajun.

I agree jaegeuk's opinion.
Additionally, It is better that you describe the effect in change-log
when this feature is added to f2fs.
e.g.
    1. how much space is saved when storing kernel-tree(small files) ?
    2. small files creation performance test.
    3. file look-up performance test.
    4. other performance tools 's result.

Thanks.
