* f2fs: add sysfs entries to select the gc policyNamjae Jeon2013-08-061-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* f2fs: add remount_fs callback supportNamjae Jeon2013-06-171-2/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add the f2fs_remount function call which will be used during the filesystem remounting. This function will help us to change the mount options specific to f2fs. Also modify the f2fs background_gc mount option, which will allow the user to dynamically trun on/off the garbage collection in f2fs based on the background_gc value. If background_gc=on, Garbage collection will be turned off & if background_gc=off, Garbage collection will be truned on. By default the garbage collection is on in f2fs. Change Log: v2: Incorporated the review comments by Gu Zheng. Removing the restore part for VFS flags Updating comments with proper flag conditions Display GC background option as ON/OFF Revised conditions to stop GC in case of remount v1: Initial changes for adding remount_fs callback support.
