Subject: Re: [PATCH] f2fs: separate IPU policy for fdatasync from
 F2FS_IPU_FSYNC

Hi Chao,

fdatasync do in-place-update to avoid additional node writes, but currently
it only do that with F2FS_IPU_FSYNC as:

f2fs_do_sync_file:
	if (datasync || get_dirty_pages(inode) <= SM_I(sbi)->min_fsync_blocks)
 		set_inode_flag(inode, FI_NEED_IPU);

check_inplace_update_policy:
	/* this is only set during fdatasync */
	if (policy & (0x1 << F2FS_IPU_FSYNC) &&
			is_inode_flag_set(inode, FI_NEED_IPU))
		return true;

So this patch separate in-place-update of fdatasync from F2FS_IPU_FSYNC to
apply it to all IPU policy.

BTW, we found small performance improvement with this patch on AndroBench app
using F2FS_IPU_SSR_UTIL on our product:

                F2FS_IPU_FSYNC  F2FS_IPU_SSR_UTIL   F2FS_IPU_SSR_UTIL(with patch)
SQLite Insert(QPS)  6818.08     6327.09(-7.20%)     6757.72
SQLite Update(QPS)  6528.81     6336.57(-2.94%)     6490.77
SQLite Delete(QPS)  9724.68     9378.37(-3.56%)     9622.27

Thanks
