Change log from v1:
 o fix 32bit drops reported by Dan Carpenter

This patch adds f2fs_issue_discard() to clean up blkdev_issue_discard() flows.

Dan carpenter reported:
"block_t is a 32 bit type and sector_t is a 64 bit type.  The upper 32
bits of the sector_t are not used because the shift will wrap."

b29555505d f2fs: add key functions for small discards
This patch adds key functions to activate the small discard feature.

Note that this procedure is conducted during the checkpoint only.

In flush_sit_entries(), when a new dirty sit entry is flushed, f2fs calls
add_discard_addrs() which searches candidates to be discarded.
The candidates should be marked *invalidated* and also previous checkpoint
recognizes it as *valid*.

At the end of a checkpoint procedure, f2fs throws discards based on the
discard entry list.

9a47938b22 f2fs: change the method of calculating the number summary blocks
npages_for_summary_flush uses (SUMMARY_SIZE + 1) as the size of a f2fs_summary
while its actual size is  SUMMARY_SIZE. So the result sometimes is bigger than
actual number by one, which causes checkpoint can't be written into disk
contiguously, and sometimes summary blocks can't be compacted like they should.
Besides, when writing summary blocks into pages, if remain space in a page
isn't big enough for one f2fs_summary, it will be left unused, current code
seems not to take it into account.

e234088758 f2fs: avoid wait if IO end up when do_checkpoint for better performance
Previously, do_checkpoint() will call congestion_wait() for waiting the pages
(previous submitted node/meta/data pages) to be written back.
Because congestion_wait() will set a regular period (e.g. HZ / 50 ) for waiting, and
no additional wake up mechanism was introduced if IO ends up before regular period costed.
Yuan Zhong found there is a situation that after the pages have been written back,
but the checkpoint thread still wait for congestion_wait to exit.

So here we store checkpoint task into f2fs_sb when doing checkpoint, it'll wait for IO completes
if there's IO going on, and in the end IO path, wake up checkpoint task when IO ends up.

Thanks to Yuan Zhong's pre work about this problem.

a569469e96 f2fs: fix a deadlock in fsync
This patch fixes a deadlock bug that occurs quite often when there are
concurrent write and fsync on a same file.

Following is the simplified call trace when tasks get hung.

fsync thread:
- f2fs_sync_file
 ...
 - f2fs_write_data_pages
 ...
  - update_extent_cache
  ...
   - update_inode
    - wait_on_page_writeback

bdi writeback thread
- __writeback_single_inode
 - f2fs_write_data_pages
  - mutex_lock(sbi->writepages)

The deadlock happens when the fsync thread waits on a inode page that has
been added to the f2fs' cached bio sbi->bio[NODE], and unfortunately,
no one else could be able to submit the cached bio to block layer for
writeback. This is because the fsync thread already hold a sbi->fs_lock and
the sbi->writepages lock, causing the bdi thread being blocked when attempt
to write data pages for the same inode. At the same time, f2fs_gc thread
does not notice the situation and could not help. Even the sync syscall
gets blocked.

To fix it, we could submit the cached bio first before waiting on a inode page
that is being written back.

763bfe1bc5 f2fs: remove reusing any prefree segments
This patch removes check_prefree_segments initially designed to enhance the
performance by narrowing the range of LBA usage across the whole block device.

When allocating a new segment, previous f2fs tries to find proper prefree
segments, and then, if finds a segment, it reuses the segment for further
data or node block allocation.

However, I found that this was totally wrong approach since the prefree segments
have several data or node blocks that will be used by the roll-forward mechanism
operated after sudden-power-off.

Let's assume the following scenario.

/* write 8MB with fsync */
for (i = 0; i < 2048; i++) {
	offset = i * 4096;
	write(fd, offset, 4KB);
	fsync(fd);
}

In this case, naive segment allocation sequence will be like:
 data segment: x, x+1, x+2, x+3
 node segment: y, y+1, y+2, y+3.

But, if we can reuse prefree segments, the sequence can be like:
 data segment: x, x+1, y, y+1
 node segment: y, y+1, y+2, y+3.
Because, y, y+1, and y+2 became prefree segments one by one, and those are
reused by data allocation.

After conducting this workload, we should consider how to recover the latest
inode with its data.
If we reuse the prefree segments such as y or y+1, we lost the old node blocks
so that f2fs even cannot start roll-forward recovery.

Therefore, I suggest that we should remove reusing prefree segments.

8736fbf003 f2fs: optimize the init_dirty_segmap function
Optimize the while loop condition

Since this condition will always be true and while loop will
be terminated by the following condition in code:

if (segno >= TOTAL_SEGS(sbi))
    break;
Hence we can replace the while loop condition with while(1)
instead of always checking for segno to be less than Total segs.

Also we do not need to use TOTAL_SEGS() everytime. We can store
this value in a local variable since this value is constant.

ac5d156c78 f2fs: modify the number of issued pages to merge IOs
When testing f2fs on an SSD, I found some 128 page IOs followed by 1 page IO
were issued by f2fs_write_node_pages.
This means that there were some mishandling flows which degrades performance.

Previous f2fs_write_node_pages determines the number of pages to be written,
nr_to_write, as follows.

1. The bio_get_nr_vecs returns 129 pages.
2. The bio_alloc makes a room for 128 pages.
3. The initial 128 pages go into one bio.
4. The existing bio is submitted, and a new bio is prepared for the last 1 page.
5. Finally, sync_node_pages submits the last 1 page bio.

The problem is from the use of bio_get_nr_vecs, so this patch replace it
with max_hw_blocks using queue_max_sectors.

b2f2c390c5 f2fs: fix the bitmap consistency of dirty segments
Like below, there are 8 segment bitmaps for SSR victim candidates.

enum dirty_type {
	DIRTY_HOT_DATA,		/* dirty segments assigned as hot data logs */
	DIRTY_WARM_DATA,	/* dirty segments assigned as warm data logs */
	DIRTY_COLD_DATA,	/* dirty segments assigned as cold data logs */
	DIRTY_HOT_NODE,		/* dirty segments assigned as hot node logs */
	DIRTY_WARM_NODE,	/* dirty segments assigned as warm node logs */
	DIRTY_COLD_NODE,	/* dirty segments assigned as cold node logs */
	DIRTY,			/* to count # of dirty segments */
	PRE,			/* to count # of entirely obsolete segments */
	NR_DIRTY_TYPE
};

The upper 6 bitmaps indicates segments dirtied by active log areas respectively.
And, the DIRTY bitmap integrates all the 6 bitmaps.

For example,
 o DIRTY_HOT_DATA : 1010000
 o DIRTY_WARM_DATA: 0100000
 o DIRTY_COLD_DATA: 0001000
 o DIRTY_HOT_NODE : 0000010
 o DIRTY_WARM_NODE: 0000001
 o DIRTY_COLD_NODE: 0000000
In this case,
 o DIRTY          : 1111011,

 which means that we should guarantee the consistency between DIRTY and other
 bitmaps concreately.

However, the SSR mode selects victims freely from any log types, which can set
multiple bits across the various bitmap types.

So, this patch eliminates this inconsistency.

5ec4e49f9b f2fs: change GC bitmaps to apply the section granularity
This patch removes a bitmap for victim segments selected by foreground GC, and
modifies the other bitmap for victim segments selected by background GC.

1) foreground GC bitmap
 : We don't need to manage this, since we just only one previous victim section
   number instead of the whole victim history.
   The f2fs uses the victim section number in order not to allocate currently
   GC'ed section to current active logs.

2) background GC bitmap
 : This bitmap is used to avoid selecting victims repeatedly by background GCs.
   In addition, the victims are able to be selected by foreground GCs, since
   there is no need to read victim blocks during foreground GCs.

   By the fact that the foreground GC reclaims segments in a section unit, it'd
   be better to manage this bitmap based on the section granularity.

4. Clarify the main f2fs_gc flow.
 o monitor how many freed sections during one iteration of do_garbage_collect().
 o do GC more without checkpoints if we can't get enough free sections.
 o do checkpoint once we've got enough free sections through forground GCs.

5. Adopt thread-logging (Slack-Space-Recycle) scheme more aggressively on data
  log types. See. get_ssr_segement()

577e349514 f2fs: prevent checkpoint once any IO failure is detected
This patch enhances the checkpoint routine to cope with IO errors.

Basically f2fs detects IO errors from end_io_write, and the errors are able to
be occurred during one of data, node, and meta page writes.

In the previous code, when an IO error is occurred during writes, f2fs sets a
flag, CP_ERROR_FLAG, in the raw ckeckpoint buffer which will be written to disk.
Afterwards, write_checkpoint() will check the flag and remount f2fs as a
read-only (ro) mode.

However, even once f2fs is remounted as a ro mode, dirty checkpoint pages are
freely able to be written to disk by flusher or kswapd in background.
In such a case, after cold reboot, f2fs would restore the checkpoint data having
CP_ERROR_FLAG, resulting in disabling write_checkpoint and remounting f2fs as
a ro mode again.

Therefore, let's prevent any checkpoint page (meta) writes once an IO error is
occurred, and remount f2fs as a ro mode right away at that moment.

408e937561 f2fs: revisit the f2fs_gc flow
I'd like to revisit the f2fs_gc flow and rewrite as follows.

1. In practical, the nGC parameter of f2fs_gc is meaningless. So, let's
  remove it.
2. Background GC marks victim blocks as dirty one at a time.
3. Foreground GC should do cleaning job until acquiring enough free
  sections. Afterwards, it needs to do checkpoint.

344324f10f f2fs: remove unneeded initialization of nr_dirty in dirty_seglist_info
Since, the memory for the object of dirty_seglist_info is allocated
using kzalloc - which returns zeroed out memory. So, there is no need
to initialize the nr_dirty values with zeroes.

029cd28c1f f2fs: fix equation of has_not_enough_free_secs()
Practically, has_not_enough_free_secs() should calculate with the numbers of
current node and directory data blocks together.
Actually the equation was implemented in need_to_flush().

So, this patch removes need_flush() and moves the equation into
has_not_enough_free_secs().

dfb7c0ceab f2fs: remove set_page_dirty for atomic f2fs_end_io_write
We should guarantee not to do *scheduling while atomic*.
I found, in atomic f2fs_end_io_write(), there is a set_page_dirty() call
to deal with IO errors.

But, set_page_dirty() calls:
 -> f2fs_set_data_page_dirty()
   -> set_dirty_dir_page()
      -> cond_resched() which results in scheduling.

In order to avoid this, I'd like to remove simply set_page_dirty(),
since the page is already marked as ERROR and f2fs will be operated
as the read-only mode as well.
So, there is no recovery issue with this.

3cd8a23948 f2fs: cleanup the f2fs_bio_alloc routine
Do cleanup more for better code readability.

- Change the parameter set of f2fs_bio_alloc()
  This function should allocate a bio only since it is not something like
  f2fs_bio_init(). Instead, the caller should initialize the allocated bio.

- Introduce SECTOR_FROM_BLOCK
  This macro translates a block address to its sector address.
