Hi, Namjae,

Agreed. How about this?

Chang log from v1:
 o change timings - min 30s, max 60s, nogc 5 min
 o remove nonreachable routine
 o consider NOGC_SLEEP_TIME in increate/decrease_sleep_time

Subject: [PATCH] f2fs: avoid frequent background GC
Cc: linux-fsdevel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
linux-f2fs-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

If there is no victim segments selected by background GC, let's wait
a little bit longer time to collect dirty segments.
By default, let's give 5 minutes.
