Jens,

Thanks for this reply.

This whole patch series removes support for per-bio write_hint. 
Without bio write_hint, F2FS won't be able to cascade Hot/Warm/Cold 
information to SCSI / UFS driver.

This is my current understanding. I might be wrong but I don't think we 
Are concerned with inode hint (as well as file hints).

Thanks,
  Luca
