Alberto Bertogli advised me about bio_alloc() use in nilfs:

This takes in the comment and replaces the use of GFP_NOWAIT flag with
GFP_NOIO.

This sets BIO_RW_UNPLUG flag on the last bio of each segment during
write. The last bio should be unplugged immediately because the
caller waits for the completion after the submission.

This will clean up the removal list of segments and the related
functions from segment.c and ioctl.c, which have hurt code
readability.
This elimination is applied by using nilfs_sufile_updatev() previously
introduced in the patch ("nilfs2: add sufile function that can modify
multiple segment usages").

will reduce some lines of segment constructor. Previously, the state was
complexly controlled through a list of segments in order to keep
consistency in meta data of usage state of segments. Instead, this
presents ``calculated'' active flags to userland cleaner program and stop
maintaining its real flag on disk.
Only by this fake flag, the cleaner cannot exactly know if each segment is
reclaimable or not. However, the recent extension of nilfs_sustat ioctl
struct (nilfs2-extend-nilfs_sustat-ioctl-struct.patch) can prevent the
cleaner from reclaiming in-use segment wrongly.
So, now I can apply this for simplification.

This adds the segment buffer which is used to constuct logs.
