f2fs: merge pages with the same sync_mode flag
Previously f2fs submits most of write requests using WRITE_SYNC, but f2fs_write_data_pages submits last write requests by sync_mode flags callers pass. This causes a performance problem since continuous pages with different sync flags can't be merged in cfq IO scheduler(thanks yu chao for pointing it out), and synchronous requests often take more time. This patch makes the following modifies to DATA writebacks: 1. every page will be written back using the sync mode caller pass. 2. only pages with the same sync mode can be merged in one bio request. These changes are restricted to DATA pages.Other types of writebacks are modified To remain synchronous. In my test with tiotest, f2fs sequence write performance is improved by about 7%-10% , and this patch has no obvious impact on other performance tests.
