From 78373b7319abdf15050af5b1632c4c8b8b398f33 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jaegeuk Kim Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2015 21:44:36 -0700 Subject: f2fs: enhance multi-threads performance Previously, f2fs_write_data_pages has a mutex, sbi->writepages, to serialize data writes to maximize write bandwidth, while sacrificing multi-threads performance. Practically, however, multi-threads environment is much more important for users. So this patch tries to remove the mutex.
