Subject: [PATCH 1/2] f2fs: flush dirty nats periodically
Date: Mon,  1 May 2017 18:57:43 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170502015744.87736-1-jaegeuk@kernel.org> (raw)

This patch flushes dirty nats in order to acquire available nids by writing
checkpoint. Otherwise, we can have no chance to get freed nids.
