During checkpoint, we have committed preflush command via

Seems a wrong assumption.

Oh, I missed that f2fs_flush_device_cache was introduced to flush devices except
first device when multi-device feature is on.

        for (i = 1; i < sbi->s_ndevs; i++) {
                int count = DEFAULT_RETRY_IO_COUNT;

So, this patch seems wrong...

Instead, below case looks wrong since it needs to trigger flush during 
checkpoint()
no matter nobarrier is on or off.

        if (test_opt(sbi, NOBARRIER))
                return 0;

Thanks,


to persist all metadata pages except last #2 CP pack page, so we don't need to
commit another preflush command in commit_checkpoint(), remove it to avoid 
unneeded
write cache overhead.
