This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled f2fs: fix to use WHINT_MODE to the 5.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: f2fs-fix-to-use-whint_mode.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit a0a0698139a7413c4652d9a0657a1321f96eeb0b Author: Keoseong Park <keosung.park@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Sep 27 15:06:48 2021 +0900 f2fs: fix to use WHINT_MODE [ Upstream commit 011e0868e0cf1237675b22e36fffa958fb08f46e ] Since active_logs can be set to 2 or 4 or NR_CURSEG_PERSIST_TYPE(6), it cannot be set to NR_CURSEG_TYPE(8). That is, whint_mode is always off. Therefore, the condition is changed from NR_CURSEG_TYPE to NR_CURSEG_PERSIST_TYPE.
