[PATCH 2/2] f2fs: don't submit irrelevant page

From: Chao Yu
Date: Thu Sep 29 2016 - 06:51:25 EST


While we call ->writepages, there are two cases:
a. we didn't writeout any dirty pages, since they are writebacked by other
thread concurrently.
b. we writeout dirty pages, and have already submitted bio to block layer.

In these cases, we don't need to do additional bio flushing unnecessarily,
it may split bio in cache into smaller one.
