[PATCH v2 1/2] f2fs: Apply bio flags to direct I/O
Posted by Daniel Lee 7 months, 3 weeks ago 
Bio flags like REQ_PRIO, REQ_META, and REQ_FUA, determined by
f2fs_io_flags(), were not being applied to direct I/O (DIO) writes.
This meant that DIO writes would not respect filesystem-level hints
(for REQ_META/FUA) or inode-level hints (like F2FS_IOPRIO_WRITE).

This patch refactors f2fs_io_flags() to use a direct inode pointer
instead of deriving it from a page. The function is then called from
the DIO write path, ensuring that bio flags are handled consistently
for both buffered and DIO writes.

fio->page will always be true now? We can pass fio->page->mapping->host to f2fs_io_flags()
directly?

Thanks for the insight. Since fio->page is always non-null here, I'll
remove the unnecessary code.
