Jens,

Thanks for this reply.

This whole patch series removes support for per-bio write_hint.
Without bio write_hint, F2FS won't be able to cascade Hot/Warm/Cold
information to SCSI / UFS driver.

This is my current understanding. I might be wrong but I don't think we
Are concerned with inode hint (as well as file hints).

Thanks,
Luca
