From c1ce1b02bb25640567dc484dc94d3a195d21e705 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jaegeuk Kim Date: Wed, 10 Sep 2014 16:53:02 -0700 Subject: f2fs: give an option to enable in-place-updates during fsync to users If user wrote F2FS_IPU_FSYNC:4 in /sys/fs/f2fs/ipu_policy, f2fs_sync_file only starts to try in-place-updates. And, if the number of dirty pages is over /sys/fs/f2fs/min_fsync_blocks, it keeps out-of-order manner. Otherwise, it triggers in-place-updates. This may be used by storage showing very high random write performance. For example, it can be used when, Seq. writes (Data) + wait + Seq. writes (Node) is pretty much slower than, Rand. writes (Data) Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim --- Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-fs-f2fs | 7 +++++++ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+) (limited to 'Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-fs-f2fs') diff --git a/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-fs-f2fs b/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-fs-f2fs index 62dd72522d6e..6f9157f16725 100644 --- a/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-fs-f2fs +++ b/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-fs-f2fs @@ -44,6 +44,13 @@ Description: Controls the FS utilization condition for the in-place-update policies. +What: /sys/fs/f2fs//min_fsync_blocks +Date: September 2014 +Contact: "Jaegeuk Kim" +Description: + Controls the dirty page count condition for the in-place-update + policies. + What: /sys/fs/f2fs//max_small_discards Date: November 2013 Contact: "Jaegeuk Kim" -- cgit v1.2.1
