f2fs: introduce gc_merge mount option
In this patch, we will add two new mount options: "gc_merge" and "nogc_merge", when background_gc is on, "gc_merge" option can be set to let background GC thread to handle foreground GC requests, it can eliminate the sluggish issue caused by slow foreground GC operation when GC is triggered from a process with limited I/O and CPU resources. Original idea is from Xiang. Signed-off-by: Gao Xiang <xiang@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Chao Yu <yuchao0@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk@kernel.org>
