Subject: 答复: [PATCH v3] f2fs: reduce expensive che ckpoint trigger frequency


Hi Jaegeuk

Sorry for disturbing you, Do you have any comments about this patch from Chao, I’ve met this issue several times on our platform when do monkey test.
Thanks!

Dear Jaegeuk,

Let me describe the problem process, it is reproduced by monkey stability test:

1.SBI_NEED_CP flag bit is set,
set_sbi_flag(F2FS_I_SB(inode), SBI_NEED_CP);

2.Ckpt thread is blocked by IO busy when it is doing CP, it can not
get request tag from block queue,

3.Subsequent regular file fsync will trigger ckpt because SBI_NEED_CP
has not been cleared.
In fact, these cases should not trigger ckpt.

4.If some processes that perform f2fs_do_sync_file are important processes
in the system(such as init) and are blocked for too long, it will
cause other problems in the system, ANR or android reboot

consider this patch or
