We debug the code, and find in check_should_bypass(): if (!congested && mode == CACHE_MODE_WRITEBACK && op_is_write(bio_op(bio)) && (bio-＞bi_opf & REQ_SYNC)) goto rescale that means, If in writeback mode, a write IO with REQ_SYNC flag will not be bypassed though it is a sequential large IO, It's not a correct thing to do actually, so this patch remove these codes.
