Previously, when finishing a checkpoint, we have persisted all fs meta
info including meta inode, node inode, dentry page of directory inode, so,
after a sudden power cut, f2fs can recover from last checkpoint with full
directory structure.
But during checkpoint, we didn't flush dirty pages of regular and symlink
inode, so such dirty datas still in memory will be lost in that moment of
power off.
In order to reduce the chance of lost data, this patch enables
f2fs_balance_fs_bg with the ability of data flushing. It will try to flush
user data before starting a checkpoint. So user's data written after last
checkpoint which may not be fsynced could be saved.
When we mount with data_flush option, after every period of cp_interval
(could be configured in sysfs: /sys/fs/f2fs/device/cp_interval) seconds
user data could be flushed into device once f2fs_balance_fs_bg was called
in kworker thread or gc thread.

Since we use different page cache (normally inode's page cache for R/W
and meta inode's page cache for GC) to cache the same physical block
which is belong to an encrypted inode. Writeback of these two page
cache should be exclusive, but now we didn't handle writeback state
well, so there may be potential racing problem:
a)
kworker: f2fs_gc:
- f2fs_write_data_pages
- f2fs_write_data_page
- do_write_data_page
- write_data_page
- f2fs_submit_page_mbio
(page#1 in inode's page cache was queued
in f2fs bio cache, and be ready to write
to new blkaddr)
- gc_data_segment
- move_encrypted_block
- pagecache_get_page
(page#2 in meta inode's page cache
was cached with the invalid datas
of physical block located in new
blkaddr)
- f2fs_submit_page_mbio
(page#1 was submitted, later, page#2
with invalid data will be submitted)
b)
f2fs_gc:
- gc_data_segment
- move_encrypted_block
- f2fs_submit_page_mbio
(page#1 in meta inode's page cache was
queued in f2fs bio cache, and be ready
to write to new blkaddr)
user thread:
- f2fs_write_begin
- f2fs_submit_page_bio
(we submit the request to block layer
to update page#2 in inode's page cache
with physical block located in new
blkaddr, so here we may read gabbage
data from new blkaddr since GC hasn't
writebacked the page#1 yet)
This patch fixes above potential racing problem for encrypted inode.

Now, we use ra_meta_pages to reads continuous physical blocks as much as
possible to improve performance of following reads. However, ra_meta_pages
uses a synchronous readahead approach by submitting bio with READ, as READ
is with high priority, it can not be used in the case of preloading blocks,
and it's not sure when these RAed pages will be used.
This patch supports asynchronous readahead in ra_meta_pages by tagging bio
with READA flag in order to allow preloading.

As the below comment of bio_alloc_bioset, f2fs can allocate multiple bios at the

"
* When @bs is not NULL, if %__GFP_WAIT is set then bio_alloc will always be
* able to allocate a bio. This is due to the mempool guarantees. To make this
* work, callers must never allocate more than 1 bio at a time from this pool.
* Callers that need to allocate more than 1 bio must always submit the

If the device is not support discard, our way for zeroing out block is:
grabbing a temporary zeroed page in meta inode, then, issue write request
with this page.
But, we forget to release that temporary page, so our memory usage will
increase without gaining any hit ratio benefit, so it's better to free it
