UFS vendors need the data lifetime information to achieve good performance. Providing data lifetime information to UFS devices can result in up to 40% lower write amplification. Hence this patch series that adds support in F2FS and also in the block layer for data lifetime information. The SCSI disk (sd) driver is modified such that it passes write hint information to SCSI devices via the GROUP NUMBER field.
These patches go on top of the vfs.rw branch (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs.git/log/?h=vfs.rw). Bart.
