Re: [PATCH] f2fs: split sbi->write_mutex for DATA/NODE/META to avoid unnecessary race

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

Hi,

I think we don't need to make two patches for this.
How about this?

Subject: [PATCH] f2fs: use sbi->write_mutex for write bios

This patch removes an unnecessary semaphore (i.e., sbi->bio_sem).
There is no reason to use the semaphore when f2fs submits read and write
IOs.
Instead, let's use a write mutex and cover the sbi->bio[] by the lock.

Change log from v1:
 o split write_mutex suggested by Chao Yu

Chao described,
"All DATA/NODE/META bio buffers in superblock is protected by
'sbi->write_mutex', but each bio buffer area is independent, So we
should split write_mutex to three for DATA/NODE/META."
