From adf8d90b6a949dc80e827263fccb31f8eb08a55d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chao Yu Date: Thu, 8 May 2014 17:00:35 +0800 Subject: f2fs: avoid to use slab memory in f2fs_issue_flush for efficiency If we use slab memory in f2fs_issue_flush(), we will face memory pressure and latency time caused by racing of kmem_cache_{alloc,free}. Let's alloc memory in stack instead of slab.
