Okay, I'm thinking more general way where we can get rid of every inlien_data write when we flush node pages. I've been testing this patch. >From ebddf607c64da691fef08cf68a8ecadafd5d896b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 25 Jan 2016 05:57:05 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] f2fs: avoid multiple node page writes due to inline_data The sceanrio is: 1. create fully node blocks 2. flush node blocks 3. write inline_data for all the node blocks again 4. flush node blocks redundantly So, this patch tries to flush inline_data when flushing node blocks.
