[PATCH] f2fs-tools: do not support user-space cache

From: Daeho Jeong
Date: Thu Sep 28 2023 - 13:51:24 EST


From: Daeho Jeong <daehojeong@xxxxxxxxxx>

We don't have lots of benefits from this, since block devices already
have page caches in the kernel. Moreover, this feature has some
stability issues corrupting metadata. So, we better make this deprecated.
