From 3537581a722402a1e6f0942cd0653035a9e09e21 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jaegeuk Kim Date: Sat, 5 Aug 2017 14:25:08 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] f2fs: use IPU for cold files We expect cold files write data sequentially, but sometimes some of small data can be updated, which incurs fragmentation. Let's avoid that.
