* tag 'for-f2fs-4.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jaegeuk/f2fs: (68 commits)
f2fs: clean up coding style and redundancy
f2fs: get victim segment again after new cp
f2fs: handle error case with f2fs_bug_on
f2fs: avoid data race when deciding checkpoin in f2fs_sync_file
f2fs: support an ioctl to move a range of data blocks
f2fs: fix to report error number of f2fs_find_entry
f2fs: avoid memory allocation failure due to a long length
f2fs: reset default idle interval value
f2fs: use blk_plug in all the possible paths
f2fs: fix to avoid data update racing between GC and DIO
f2fs: add maximum prefree segments
f2fs: disable extent_cache for fcollapse/finsert inodes
f2fs: refactor __exchange_data_block for speed up
f2fs: fix ERR_PTR returned by bio
f2fs: avoid mark_inode_dirty
f2fs: move i_size_write in f2fs_write_end
f2fs: fix to avoid redundant discard during fstrim
f2fs: avoid mismatching block range for discard
f2fs: fix incorrect f_bfree calculation in ->statfs
f2fs: use percpu_rw_semaphore
...
These two are confusing leftover of the old world order, combining
values of the REQ_OP_ and REQ_ namespaces. For callers that don't
special case we mostly just replace bi_rw with bio_data_dir or
op_is_write, except for the few cases where a switch over the REQ_OP_
values makes more sense. Any check for READA is replaced with an
explicit check for REQ_RAHEAD. Also remove the READA alias for
REQ_RAHEAD.

Commit aaf9607516 ("f2fs: check node page
contents all the time") pointed out that "sometimes it was reported that
its contents was missing", so it checks the page's mapping and contents.
When "nid != nid_of_node(page)", ERR_PTR(-EIO) will be returned to the
caller. However, commit e1c51b9f1d ("f2fs:
clean up node page updating flow") moves "nid != nid_of_node(page)" test
to "f2fs_bug_on(sbi, nid != nid_of_node(page))", this will return a
wrong page to the caller when F2FS_CHECK_FS is off when "sometimes it
was reported that its contents was missing" happens.
This patch restores to check node page contents all the time, and
returns the errno to make the caller known something is wrong and avoid
to use the page. This patch also moves f2fs_bug_on to its proper location.

For foreground GC, we cache node blocks in victim section and set them
dirty, then we call sync_node_pages to flush these node pages, but
meanwhile, those node pages which does not locate in victim section
will be flushed together, so more bandwidth and continuous free space
would be occupied.
So for this condition, it's better to leave those unrelated node page
in cache for further write hit, and let CP or VM to flush them afterward.

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.
This promise never materialized. And unlikely will.
We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.
Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.
Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are
not.
The changes are pretty straight-forward:
- <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};
- page_cache_get() -> get_page();
- page_cache_release() -> put_page();
This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.
The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.
There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

ra_node_page() is used to read ahead one node page. Comparing to regular
read, it's faster because it doesn't wait for IO completion.
But if it is called twice for reading the same block, and the IO request
from the first call hasn't been completed before the second call, the second
call will have to wait until the read is over.
Here use the code in __do_page_cache_readahead() to solve this problem.
It does nothing when someone else already puts the page in mapping. The
status of page should be assured by whoever puts it there.
This implement also prevents alteration of page reference count.

1. Inode mapping tree can index page in range of [0, ULONG_MAX], however,
in some places, f2fs only search or iterate page in ragne of [0, LONG_MAX],
result in miss hitting in page cache.
2. filemap_fdatawait_range accepts range parameters in unit of bytes, so
the max range it covers should be [0, LLONG_MAX], if we use [0, LONG_MAX]
as range for waiting on writeback, big number of pages will not be covered.

will try to merge inline data from data page into inline inode page, then

When lookuping nat entry in cache_nat_entry, if we fail to hit nat cache,
we try to load nat entries a) from journal of current segment cache or b)
from NAT pages for updating, during the process, write lock of
nat_tree_lock will be held to avoid inconsistent condition in between
nid cache and nat cache caused by racing among nat entry shrinker,
checkpointer, nat entry updater.
But this way may cause low efficient when updating nat cache, because it
serializes accessing in journal cache or reading NAT pages.
Here, we reorder lock and update flow as below to enhance accessing
concurrency:
- get_node_info
- down_read(nat_tree_lock)
- lookup nat cache --- hit -> unlock & return
- lookup journal cache --- hit -> unlock & goto update
- up_read(nat_tree_lock)
update:
- down_write(nat_tree_lock)
- cache_nat_entry
- lookup nat cache --- nohit -> update
- up_write(nat_tree_lock)

In curseg cache, f2fs caches two different parts:
- datas of current summay block, i.e. summary entries, footer info.
- journal info, i.e. sparse nat/sit entries or io stat info.
With this approach, 1) it may cause higher lock contention when we access
or update both of the parts of cache since we use the same mutex lock
curseg_mutex to protect the cache. 2) current summary block with last
journal info will be writebacked into device as a normal summary block
when flushing, however, we treat journal info as valid one only in current
summary, so most normal summary blocks contain junk journal data, it wastes
remaining space of summary block.
So, in order to fix above issues, we split curseg cache into two parts:
a) current summary block, protected by original mutex lock curseg_mutex
b) journal cache, protected by newly introduced r/w semaphore journal_rwsem
When loading curseg cache during ->mount, we store summary info and
journal info into different caches; When doing checkpoint, we combine
datas of two cache into current summary block for persisting.

f2fs use single bio buffer per type data (META/NODE/DATA) for caching
writes locating in continuous block address as many as possible, after
submitting, these writes may be still cached in bio buffer, so we have
to flush cached writes in bio buffer by calling f2fs_submit_merged_bio.
Unfortunately, in the scenario of high concurrency, bio buffer could be
flushed by someone else before we submit it as below reasons:
a) there is no space in bio buffer.
b) add a request of different type (SYNC, ASYNC).
c) add a discontinuous block address.
For this condition, f2fs_submit_merged_bio will be devastating, because
it could break the following merging of writes in bio buffer, split one
big bio into two smaller one.
This patch introduces f2fs_submit_merged_bio_cond which can do a
conditional submitting with bio buffer, before submitting it will judge
whether:
- page in DATA type bio buffer is matching with specified page;
- page in DATA type bio buffer is belong to specified inode;
- page in NODE type bio buffer is belong to specified inode;
If there is no eligible page in bio buffer, we will skip submitting step,
result in gaining more chance to merge consecutive block IOs in bio cache.

several dnode pages, we will try to seek data from index of page which

However it's still not efficient, because if our indirect/double-indirect

double-indirect pointer point to, it's not necessary to search the whole
region.
This patch introduces get_next_page_offset to calculate next page offset
