Subject: Re: [f2fs-dev] [PATCH 2/5] f2fs: add unlikely macro for compiler
 optimization

Hi,

Could you make a patch to add *unlikely* as many as possible across the
whole source files at once?
It is wasteful to add it with a bunch of patches at multiple times.

And please write descriptions for all the patches even if nothing is
special.
In this case, why should we set *unlikely* for checking this condition?

Thanks,
