SubjectRe: [PATCH v2] f2fs: avoid frequent background GC
From
Date
Hi, Namjae,

Agreed. How about this?

Chang log from v1:
o change timings - min 30s, max 60s, nogc 5 min
o remove nonreachable routine
o consider NOGC_SLEEP_TIME in increate/decrease_sleep_time

Subject: [PATCH] f2fs: avoid frequent background GC
Cc: linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org,
linux-f2fs-devel@lists.sourceforge.net

If there is no victim segments selected by background GC, let's wait
a little bit longer time to collect dirty segments.
By default, let's give 5 minutes.
