Re: F2FS performance drop than ext4

[Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk.kim@samsung.com>]

Hi,

As I checked the commit, I suspect that you turned on
CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES in your .config.
Could you test without this kind of debugging configs?
Because f2fs uses many mutexes which results in high SW overhead.
Thanks,
