[PATCH v2] f2fs: use aggressive GC policy during f2fs_disable_checkpoint()

From: Chao Yu
Date: Fri Mar 18 2022 - 05:02:48 EST


Let's enable GC_URGENT_HIGH mode during f2fs_disable_checkpoint(),
so that we can use SSR allocator for GCed data/node persistence,
it can improve the performance due to it avoiding migration of
data/node locates in selected target segment of SSR allocator.
