I saw both meta and node's writepages() called from background will skip
flushing dirty pages if dirty page count didn't touch the threshold.

/* collect a number of dirty node pages and write together */
if (wbc->sync_mode != WB_SYNC_ALL &&
get_pages(sbi, F2FS_DIRTY_NODES) <
nr_pages_to_skip(sbi, NODE))
goto skip_write;

/* collect a number of dirty meta pages and write together */
if (wbc->sync_mode != WB_SYNC_ALL &&
get_pages(sbi, F2FS_DIRTY_META) <
nr_pages_to_skip(sbi, META))
goto skip_write;

At that time, would syncfs (type sync command via shell) help?
