[PATCH] f2fs: sysfs: support discard_io_aware

From: Chao Yu
Date: Wed Nov 22 2023 - 09:47:27 EST


It gives a way to enable/disable IO aware feature for background
discard, so that we can tune background discard more precisely
based on undiscard condition. e.g. force to disable IO aware if
there are large number of discard extents, and discard IO may
always be interrupted by frequent common IO.
