    f2fs: let sync node IO interrupt async one · c29fd0c0
    Chao Yu authored
    Although mixed sync/async IOs can have continuous LBA, as they have
    different IO priority, block IO scheduler will add them into different
    queues and commit them separately, result in splited IOs which causes
    wrose performance.
    
    This patch gives high priority to synchronous IO of nodes, means that
    once synchronous flow starts, it can interrupt asynchronous writeback
    flow of system flusher, so more big IOs can be expected.
