From d2dc095f4280ad5fdea33769e8e119fd16648426 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Namjae Jeon Date: Sun, 4 Aug 2013 23:10:15 +0900 Subject: f2fs: add sysfs entries to select the gc policy Add sysfs entry gc_idle to control the gc policy. Where gc_idle = 1 corresponds to selecting a cost benefit approach, while gc_idle = 2 corresponds to selecting a greedy approach to garbage collection. The selection is mutually exclusive one approach will work at any point. If gc_idle = 0, then this option is disabled.
