Hi, Chao
I have been testing a use case locally, which aligns with Jens' test
case [1]. In the read scenario, using uncached buffer I/O results in
more stable read performance and a lower load on the background memory
reclaim thread (kswapd).
However, in the write scenario, it appears that uncached buffer I/O
may not be suitable for F2FS. This is because F2FS calls folio_end_writeback
in the softirq context, as discussed in [2].
Read test data without using uncached buffer I/O:
