> This patch introduces a new sysfs entry /sys/fs/f2fs/<disk>/flush_policy
> in order to tune performance of f2fs data flush flow.
>
> For example, checkpoint will use REQ_FUA to persist CP metadata, however,
> some kind device has bad performance on REQ_FUA command, result in that
> checkpoint being blocked for long time, w/ this sysfs entry, we can give
> an option to use REQ_PREFLUSH command instead of REQ_FUA during checkpoint,
> it can help to mitigate long latency of checkpoint.
