This is an implementation-level restriction, and currently we don't support any architectures that have a page size < 4k. We can always bump this number up in the future if it ever becomes necessary, and limiting max levels to 8 saves almost 100 bytes of stack space in verify_page(). - Ted _______________________________________________ Linux-f2fs-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-f2fs-devel
