Currently, we have encountered some issues while testing ZUFS. In situations near the storage limit (e.g., 50GB remaining), and after simulating fragmentation by repeatedly writing and deleting data, we found that application installation and startup tests conducted after idling for a few minutes take significantly longer several times that of traditional UFS. Tracing the operations revealed that the majority of I/Os were issued by background GC, which blocks normal I/O operations. Under normal circumstances, ZUFS indeed requires more background GC and employs a more aggressive GC strategy. However, I aim to find a way to minimize the impact on regular I/O operations under these near-limit conditions. To address this, I have introduced a bggc_io_aware feature, which controls the prioritization of background GC in the presence of I/Os. This switch can be adjusted at the framework level to implement different strategies. If set to AWARE_ALL_IO, all background GC operations will be skipped during active I/O issuance. The default option remains consistent with the current strategy, ensuring no change in behavior.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
