This patch adds support for volatile writes which keep data pages in memory
until f2fs_evict_inode is called by iput.
For instance, we can use this feature for the sqlite database as follows.
While supporting atomic writes for main database file, we can keep its journal
data temporarily in the page cache by the following sequence.
1. open
-> ioctl(F2FS_IOC_START_VOLATILE_WRITE);
2. writes
: keep all the data in the page cache.
3. flush to the database file with atomic writes
a. ioctl(F2FS_IOC_START_ATOMIC_WRITE);
b. writes
c. ioctl(F2FS_IOC_COMMIT_ATOMIC_WRITE);
4. close
-> drop the cached data

This patch introduces a very limited functionality for atomic write support.
In order to support atomic write, this patch adds two ioctls:
o F2FS_IOC_START_ATOMIC_WRITE
o F2FS_IOC_COMMIT_ATOMIC_WRITE
The database engine should be aware of the following sequence.
1. open
-> ioctl(F2FS_IOC_START_ATOMIC_WRITE);
2. writes
: all the written data will be treated as atomic pages.
3. commit
-> ioctl(F2FS_IOC_COMMIT_ATOMIC_WRITE);
: this flushes all the data blocks to the disk, which will be shown all or
nothing by f2fs recovery procedure.
4. repeat to #2.
The IO pattens should be:
,- START_ATOMIC_WRITE ,- COMMIT_ATOMIC_WRITE

This patch revisited whole the recovery information during the f2fs_sync_file.
In this patch, there are three information to make a decision.
a) IS_CHECKPOINTED, /* is it checkpointed before? */
b) HAS_FSYNCED_INODE, /* is the inode fsynced before? */
c) HAS_LAST_FSYNC, /* has the latest node fsync mark? */
And, the scenarios for our rule are based on:
[Term] F: fsync_mark, D: dentry_mark
1. inode(x) | CP | inode(x) | dnode(F)
2. inode(x) | CP | inode(F) | dnode(F)
3. inode(x) | CP | dnode(F) | inode(x) | inode(F)
4. inode(x) | CP | dnode(F) | inode(F)
5. CP | inode(x) | dnode(F) | inode(DF)
6. CP | inode(DF) | dnode(F)
7. CP | dnode(F) | inode(DF)
8. CP | dnode(F) | inode(x) | inode(DF)
For example, #3, the three conditions should be changed as follows.
inode(x) | CP | dnode(F) | inode(x) | inode(F)
a) x o o o o
b) x x x x o
c) x o o x o
If f2fs_sync_file stops ------^,
it should write inode(F) --------------^
So, the need_inode_block_update should return true, since
c) get_nat_flag(e, HAS_LAST_FSYNC), is false.
For example, #8,
CP | alloc | dnode(F) | inode(x) | inode(DF)
a) o x x x x
b) x x x o
c) o o x o
If f2fs_sync_file stops -------^,
it should write inode(DF) --------------^
Note that, the roll-forward policy should follow this rule, which means,
if there are any missing blocks, we doesn't need to recover that inode.

In commit aec71382c6 ("f2fs: refactor flush_nat_entries codes for reducing NAT
writes"), we descripte the issue as below:
"Although building NAT journal in cursum reduce the read/write work for NAT
block, but previous design leave us lower performance when write checkpoint
frequently for these cases:
1. if journal in cursum has already full, it's a bit of waste that we flush all
nat entries to page for persistence, but not to cache any entries.
2. if journal in cursum is not full, we fill nat entries to journal util
journal is full, then flush the left dirty entries to disk without merge
journaled entries, so these journaled entries may be flushed to disk at next
checkpoint but lost chance to flushed last time."
Actually, we have the same problem in using SIT journal area.
In this patch, firstly we will update sit journal with dirty entries as many as
possible. Secondly if there is no space in sit journal, we will remove all
entries in journal and walk through the whole dirty entry bitmap of sit,
accounting dirty sit entries located in same SIT block to sit entry set. All
entry sets are linked to list sit_entry_set in sm_info, sorted ascending order
by count of entries in set. Later we flush entries in set which have fewest
entries into journal as many as we can, and then flush dense set with merged
entries to disk.
In this way we can use sit journal area more effectively, also we will reduce
SIT update, result in gaining in performance and saving lifetime of flash
device.
In my testing environment, it shows this patch can help to reduce SIT block
update obviously.

Some storage devices show relatively high latencies to complete cache_flush
commands, even though their normal IO speed is prettry much high. In such
the case, it needs to merge cache_flush commands as much as possible to avoid
issuing them redundantly.
So, this patch introduces a mount option, "-o flush_merge", to mitigate such
the overhead.
If this option is enabled by user, F2FS merges the cache_flush commands and then
issues just one cache_flush on behalf of them. Once the single command is
finished, F2FS sends a completion signal to all the pending threads.
Note that, this option can be used under a workload consisting of very intensive
concurrent fsync calls, while the storage handles cache_flush commands slowly.

But, if we can guess that a directory will handle a number of child files,
we don't need to traverse the tree from level #0 to #N all the time.
Since the lower level tables contain relatively small number of dentries,
the miss ratio of the target dentry is likely to be high.
In order to avoid that, we can configure the hash tables sparsely from level #0
like this.
level #0 | A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B)
level #1 | A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - ... - A(2B)

. | . . . .
level #N | A(4B) - A(4B) - A(4B) - A(4B) - A(4B) - ... - A(4B)
With this structure, we can skip the ineffective tree searches in lower level
hash tables.

When considering a bunch of data writes with very frequent fsync calls, we
are able to think the following performance regression.
N: Node IO, D: Data IO, IO scheduler: cfq
Issue pending IOs
D1 D2 D3 D4
D1 D2 D3 D4 N1
D2 D3 D4 N1 N2
N1 D3 D4 N2 D1
--> N1 can be selected by cfq becase of the same priority of N and D.
Then D3 and D4 would be delayed, resuling in performance degradation.
So, when processing the fsync call, it'd better give higher priority to data IOs
than node IOs by assigning WRITE and WRITE_SYNC respectively.
This patch improves the random wirte performance with frequent fsync calls by up
to 10%.

Previously, f2fs doesn't support direct IOs with high performance, which throws
every write requests via the buffered write path, resulting in highly
performance degradation due to memory opeations like copy_from_user.
This patch introduces a new direct IO path in which every write requests are
processed by generic blockdev_direct_IO() with enhanced get_block function.
The get_data_block() in f2fs handles:
1. if original data blocks are allocates, then give them to blockdev.
2. otherwise,
a. preallocate requested block addresses
b. do not use extent cache for better performance
c. give the block addresses to blockdev
This policy induces that:
- new allocated data are sequentially written to the disk
- updated data are randomly written to the disk.
- f2fs gives consistency on its file meta, not file data.

This patch introduces new sysfs entries for users to control the policy of
in-place-updates, namely IPU, in f2fs.
Sometimes f2fs suffers from performance degradation due to its out-of-place
update policy that produces many additional node block writes.
If the storage performance is very dependant on the amount of data writes
instead of IO patterns, we'd better drop this out-of-place update policy.
This patch suggests 5 polcies and their triggering conditions as follows.
[sysfs entry name = ipu_policy]
0: F2FS_IPU_FORCE all the time,
1: F2FS_IPU_SSR if SSR mode is activated,
2: F2FS_IPU_UTIL if FS utilization is over threashold,
3: F2FS_IPU_SSR_UTIL if SSR mode is activated and FS utilization is over
threashold,
4: F2FS_IPU_DISABLE disable IPU. (=default option)
[sysfs entry name = min_ipu_util]
This parameter controls the threshold to trigger in-place-updates.
The number indicates percentage of the filesystem utilization, and used by
F2FS_IPU_UTIL and F2FS_IPU_SSR_UTIL policies.

Previously f2fs submits most of write requests using WRITE_SYNC, but f2fs_write_data_pages
submits last write requests by sync_mode flags callers pass.
This causes a performance problem since continuous pages with different sync flags
can't be merged in cfq IO scheduler(thanks yu chao for pointing it out), and synchronous
requests often take more time.
This patch makes the following modifies to DATA writebacks:
1. every page will be written back using the sync mode caller pass.
2. only pages with the same sync mode can be merged in one bio request.
These changes are restricted to DATA pages.Other types of writebacks are modified
To remain synchronous.

The f2fs manages an extent cache to search a number of consecutive data blocks
very quickly.
However it conducts unnecessary cache operations if the file is highly
fragmented with no valid extent cache.
In such the case, we don't need to handle the extent cache, but just can disable
the cache facility.
Nevertheless, this patch gives one more chance to enable the extent cache.
For example,
1. create a file
2. write data sequentially which produces a large valid extent cache
3. update some data, resulting in a fragmented extent
4. if the fragmented extent is too small, then drop extent cache
5. close the file
6. open the file again
7. give another chance to make a new extent cache
8. write data sequentially again which creates another big extent cache.

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.

The fs_locks is used to block other ops(ex, recovery) when doing checkpoint.
And each other operate routine(besides checkpoint) needs to acquire a fs_lock,
there is a terrible problem here, if these are too many concurrency threads acquiring
fs_lock, so that they will block each other and may lead to some performance problem,
but this is not the phenomenon we want to see.
Though there are some optimization patches introduced to enhance the usage of fs_lock,
but the thorough solution is using a *rw_sem* to replace the fs_lock.
Checkpoint routine takes write_sem, and other ops take read_sem, so that we can block
other ops(ex, recovery) when doing checkpoint, and other ops will not disturb each other,
this can avoid the problem described above completely.
Because of the weakness of rw_sem, the above change may introduce a potential problem
that the checkpoint thread might get starved if other threads are intensively locking
the read semaphore for I/O.(Pointed out by Xu Jin)
In order to avoid this, a wait_list is introduced, the appending read semaphore ops
will be dropped into the wait_list if checkpoint thread is waiting for write semaphore,
and will be waked up when checkpoint thread gives up write semaphore.
Thanks to Kim's previous review and test, and will be very glad to see other guys'
performance tests about this patch.

-fix the potential starvation problem.
-use more suitable func name suggested by Xu Jin.

There is a performance problem: when all sbi->fs_lock are holded, then
all the following threads may get the same next_lock value from sbi->next_lock_num
in function mutex_lock_op, and wait for the same lock(fs_lock[next_lock]),
it may cause performance reduce.
So we move the sbi->next_lock_num++ before getting lock, this will average the
following threads if all sbi->fs_lock are holded.
v1-->v2:
Drop the needless spin_lock as Jaegeuk suggested.

0. modified inode structure
--------------------------------------
metadata (e.g., i_mtime, i_ctime, etc)
--------------------------------------
direct pointers [0 ~ 873]
inline xattrs (200 bytes by default)
indirect pointers [0 ~ 4]

--------------------------------------
1. setxattr flow
- read_all_xattrs copies all the xattrs from inline and xattr node block.
- handle xattr entries
- write_all_xattrs copies modified xattrs into inline and xattr node block.
2. getxattr flow
- read_all_xattrs copies all the xattrs from inline and xattr node block.
- check target entries
3. Usage
# mount -t f2fs -o inline_xattr $DEV $MNT
Once mounted with the inline_xattr option, f2fs marks all the newly created
files to reserve an amount of inline xattr space explicitly inside the inode
block. Without the mount option, f2fs will not touch any existing files and
newly created files as well.

This patch enables the number of direct pointers inside on-disk inode block to
be changed dynamically according to the size of inline xattr space.
The number of direct pointers, ADDRS_PER_INODE, can be changed only if the file
has inline xattr flag.
The number of direct pointers that will be used by inline xattrs is defined as
F2FS_INLINE_XATTR_ADDRS.
Current patch assigns F2FS_INLINE_XATTR_ADDRS to 0 temporarily.

This patch adds basic inode flags for inline xattrs, F2FS_INLINE_XATTR,
and add a mount option, inline_xattr, which is enabled when xattr is set.
If the mount option is enabled, all the files are marked with the inline_xattrs
flag.

Previously xattr node blocks are stored to the COLD_NODE log, which means that
our roll-forward mechanism doesn't recover the xattr node blocks at all.
Only the direct node blocks in the WARM_NODE log can be recovered.
So, let's resolve the issue simply by conducting checkpoint during fsync when a
file has a modified xattr node block.
This approach is able to degrade the performance, but normally the checkpoint
overhead is shown at the initial fsync call after the xattr entry changes.
Once the checkpoint is done, no additional overhead would be occurred.

This patch fixes the use of XATTR_NODE_OFFSET.
o The offset should not use several MSB bits which are used by marking node
blocks.
o IS_DNODE should handle XATTR_NODE_OFFSET to avoid potential abnormality
during the fsync call.

This patch should resolve the following error reported by kbuild test robot.
All error/warnings:
In file included from fs/f2fs/dir.c:13:0:
>> fs/f2fs/f2fs.h:435:17: error: field 's_kobj' has incomplete type
struct kobject s_kobj;
The failure was caused by missing the kobject header file in dir.c.
So, this patch move the header file to the right location, f2fs.h.

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.

Add sysfs entries to control the timing parameters for
f2fs gc thread.
Various Sysfs options introduced are:
gc_min_sleep_time: Min Sleep time for GC in ms
gc_max_sleep_time: Max Sleep time for GC in ms
gc_no_gc_sleep_time: Default Sleep time for GC in ms

[Jaegeuk Kim: fix an umount bug and some minor changes]

This patch fixes mishandling of the sbi->n_orphans variable.
If users request lots of f2fs_unlink(), check_orphan_space() could be contended.
In such the case, sbi->n_orphans can be read incorrectly so that f2fs_unlink()
would fall into the wrong state which results in the failure of
add_orphan_inode().
So, let's increment sbi->n_orphans virtually prior to the actual orphan inode
stuffs. After that, let's release sbi->n_orphans by calling release_orphan_inode
or remove_orphan_inode.

The error is reproducible by:
0. mkfs.f2fs /dev/sdb1 & mount
1. touch test1
2. touch test2
3. mv test1 test2
4. umount
5. dumpt.f2fs -i 4 /dev/sdb1
After this, when we retrieve the inode->i_name of test2 by dump.f2fs, we get
test1 instead of test2.
This is because f2fs didn't update the file name during the f2fs_rename.
So, this patch fixes that.

While calculating CRC for the checkpoint block, we use __u32, but when storing
the crc value to the disk, we use __le32.
Let's fix the inconsistency.

If a file is linked, f2fs loose its parent inode number so that fsync calls
for the linked file should do checkpoint all the time.
But, if we can recover its parent inode number after the checkpoint, we can
adjust roll-forward mechanism for the further fsync calls, which is able to
improve the fsync performance significatly.
