    f2fs: align direct_io'ed data to section · 38aa0889

    This patch aligns the start block address of a file for direct io to the f2fs's
    section size.
    
    Some flash devices manage an over 4KB-sized page as a write unit, and if the
    direct_io'ed data are written but not aligned to that unit, the performance can
    be degraded due to the partial page copies.
    
    Thus, since f2fs has a section that is well aligned to FTL units, we can align
    the block address to the section size so that f2fs avoids this misalignment.
