This patch fixes performance regression of dbench reported by Alex <hbx7d@xxxxxxxxxx>. This issue was revealed by Phoronix tests results: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux_314_ssdfs&num=2 It turns out that we need to assign WRITE_SYNC to the node writes, if fsync is triggered. The performance numbers are like below, which is measured by Alex. 1. 355MB/s ext4 2. 225MB/s f2fs : WRITE for node writes 3. 525MB/s f2fs : WRITE_SYNC for node writes Reported-And-Tested-by: Alex <hbx7d@xxxxxxxxxx>.
