Re: [f2fs-dev] [PATCH 5/5 v3] f2fs: introduce a batched trim

From: Jaegeuk Kim
Date: Tue Feb 03 2015 - 15:10:43 EST


Hi Changman,

Good idea!

Change log from v2:
o add sysfs to change the # of sections for trimming.

Change log from v1:
o add description
o change the # of batched segments suggested by Chao
o make consistent for # of batched segments

This patch introduces a batched trimming feature, which submits split discard
commands.

This is to avoid long latency due to huge trim commands.
If fstrim was triggered ranging from 0 to the end of device, we should lock
all the checkpoint-related mutexes, resulting in very long latency.
