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.
