f2fs: avoid to use slab memory in f2fs_issue_flush for efficiency
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
If we use slab memory in f2fs_issue_flush(), we will face memory pressure and
latency time caused by racing of kmem_cache_{alloc,free}.

Let's alloc memory in stack instead of slab.
