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

Commit aaf9607516 ("f2fs: check node page

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

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.

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.

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.

Pull cgroup writeback support from Jens Axboe:
"This is the big pull request for adding cgroup writeback support.
This code has been in development for a long time, and it has been
simmering in for-next for a good chunk of this cycle too. This is one
of those problems that has been talked about for at least half a
decade, finally there's a solution and code to go with it.

...
Currently, a bdi (backing_dev_info) embeds single wb (bdi_writeback)
and the role of the separation is unclear. For cgroup support for
writeback IOs, a bdi will be updated to host multiple wb's where each
wb serves writeback IOs of a different cgroup on the bdi. To achieve
that, a wb should carry all states necessary for servicing writeback
IOs for a cgroup independently.
This patch moves bandwidth related fields from backing_dev_info into
bdi_writeback.
* The moved fields are: bw_time_stamp, dirtied_stamp, written_stamp,
write_bandwidth, avg_write_bandwidth, dirty_ratelimit,
balanced_dirty_ratelimit, completions and dirty_exceeded.
* writeback_chunk_size() and over_bground_thresh() now take @wb
instead of @bdi.
* bdi_writeout_fraction(bdi, ...) -> wb_writeout_fraction(wb, ...)
bdi_dirty_limit(bdi, ...) -> wb_dirty_limit(wb, ...)
bdi_position_ration(bdi, ...) -> wb_position_ratio(wb, ...)
bdi_update_writebandwidth(bdi, ...) -> wb_update_write_bandwidth(wb, ...)
[__]bdi_update_bandwidth(bdi, ...) -> [__]wb_update_bandwidth(wb, ...)
bdi_{max|min}_pause(bdi, ...) -> wb_{max|min}_pause(wb, ...)
bdi_dirty_limits(bdi, ...) -> wb_dirty_limits(wb, ...)
* Init/exits of the relocated fields are moved to bdi_wb_init/exit()
respectively. Note that explicit zeroing is dropped in the process
as wb's are cleared in entirety anyway.
* As there's still only one bdi_writeback per backing_dev_info, all
uses of bdi->stat[] are mechanically replaced with bdi->wb.stat[]
introducing no behavior changes.

2. if we continuously add new flag into f2fs_sb_info, structure will be messed

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

"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.

Then, writing checkpoint/dentry/node blocks is not allowed.

aops->write_begin may allocate a new page and make it visible only to have
mark_page_accessed called almost immediately after. Once the page is
visible the atomic operations are necessary which is noticable overhead
when writing to an in-memory filesystem like tmpfs but should also be
noticable with fast storage. The objective of the patch is to initialse
the accessed information with non-atomic operations before the page is
visible.
The bulk of filesystems directly or indirectly use
grab_cache_page_write_begin or find_or_create_page for the initial
allocation of a page cache page. This patch adds an init_page_accessed()
helper which behaves like the first call to mark_page_accessed() but may
called before the page is visible and can be done non-atomically.
The primary APIs of concern in this care are the following and are used
by most filesystems.
find_get_page
find_lock_page
find_or_create_page
grab_cache_page_nowait
grab_cache_page_write_begin
All of them are very similar in detail to the patch creates a core helper
pagecache_get_page() which takes a flags parameter that affects its
behavior such as whether the page should be marked accessed or not. Then
old API is preserved but is basically a thin wrapper around this core
function.
Each of the filesystems are then updated to avoid calling
mark_page_accessed when it is known that the VM interfaces have already
done the job. There is a slight snag in that the timing of the
mark_page_accessed() has now changed so in rare cases it's possible a page
gets to the end of the LRU as PageReferenced where as previously it might
have been repromoted. This is expected to be rare but it's worth the
filesystem people thinking about it in case they see a problem with the
timing change. It is also the case that some filesystems may be marking
pages accessed that previously did not but it makes sense that filesystems
have consistent behaviour in this regard.
The test case used to evaulate this is a simple dd of a large file done
multiple times with the file deleted on each iterations. The size of the
file is 1/10th physical memory to avoid dirty page balancing. In the
async case it will be possible that the workload completes without even
hitting the disk and will have variable results but highlight the impact
of mark_page_accessed for async IO. The sync results are expected to be
more stable. The exception is tmpfs where the normal case is for the "IO"
to not hit the disk.
The test machine was single socket and UMA to avoid any scheduling or NUMA
artifacts. Throughput and wall times are presented for sync IO, only wall
times are shown for async as the granularity reported by dd and the
variability is unsuitable for comparison. As async results were variable
do to writback timings, I'm only reporting the maximum figures. The sync
results were stable enough to make the mean and stddev uninteresting.
The performance results are reported based on a run with no profiling.
Profile data is based on a separate run with oprofile running.

The NM_WOUT_THRESHOLD is now obsolete since f2fs starts to control on a basis
of the memory footprint.
Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk.kim@samsung.com>
This patch introduces ram_thresh, a sysfs entry, which controls the memory
footprint used by the free nid list and the nat cache.
Previously, the free nid list was controlled by MAX_FREE_NIDS, while the nat
cache was managed by NM_WOUT_THRESHOLD.
However, this approach cannot be applied dynamically according to the system.
So, this patch adds ram_thresh that users can specify the threshold, which is
in order of 1 / 1024.
For example, if the total ram size is 4GB and the value is set to 10 by default,
f2fs tries to control the number of free nids and nat caches not to consume over
10 * (4GB / 1024) = 10MB.

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%.

The truncate_partial_nodes puts pages incorrectly in the following two cases.
Note that the value for argc 'depth' can only be 2 or 3.
Please see truncate_inode_blocks() and truncate_partial_nodes().
1) An err is occurred in the first 'for' loop
When err is occurred with depth = 2, pages[0] is invalid, so this page doesn't
need to be put. There is no problem, however, when depth is 3, it doesn't put
the pages correctly where pages[0] is valid and pages[1] is invalid.
In this case, depth is set to 2 (ref to statemnt depth = i + 1), and then
'goto fail'.
In label 'fail', for (i = depth - 3; i >= 0; i--) cannot meet the condition
because i = -1, so pages[0] cann't be put.
2) An err happened in the second 'for' loop
Now we've got pages[0] with depth = 2, or we've got pages[0] and pages[1]
with depth = 3. When an err is detected, we need 'goto fail' to put such
the pages.
When depth is 2, in label 'fail', for (i = depth - 3; i >= 0; i--) cann't
meet the condition because i = -1, so pages[0] cann't be put.
When depth is 3, in label 'fail', for (i = depth - 3; i >= 0; i--) can
only put pages[0], pages[1] also cann't be put.
Note that 'depth' has been changed before first 'goto fail' (ref to statemnt
depth = i + 1), so passing this modified 'depth' to the tracepoint,
trace_f2fs_truncate_partial_nodes, is also incorrect.

This patch introduces F2FS_INODE that returns struct f2fs_inode * from the inode
page.
By using this macro, we can remove unnecessary casting codes like below.
struct f2fs_inode *ri = &F2FS_NODE(inode_page)->i;
-> struct f2fs_inode *ri = F2FS_INODE(inode_page);

2. Replace f2fs_submit_bio with f2fs_submit_merged_bio, which handles read
bios additionally.
3. Introduce __submit_merged_bio to submit the merged bio.
4. Change f2fs_readpage to f2fs_submit_page_bio.
5. Introduce f2fs_submit_page_mbio to integrate previous submit_read_page and
submit_write_page.

This patch changes the policy of submitting read bios at ra_nat_pages.
Previously, f2fs submits small read bios with block plugging.
But, with this patch, f2fs itself merges read bios first and then submits a
large bio, which can reduce the bio handling overheads.

Previously, f2fs postpones reclaiming prefree segments into free segments
as much as possible.
However, if user writes and deletes a bunch of data without any sync or fsync
calls, some flash storages can suffer from garbage collections.
So, this patch adds the reclaiming codes to f2fs_write_node_pages and background
GC thread.
If there are a lot of prefree segments, let's do checkpoint so that f2fs
submits discard commands for the prefree regions to the flash storage.

Previously, we experience bio traces as follows when running simple sequential
write test.
f2fs_do_submit_bio: type = NODE, io = no sync, sector = 500104928, size = 4K
f2fs_do_submit_bio: type = NODE, io = no sync, sector = 499922208, size = 368K
f2fs_do_submit_bio: type = NODE, io = no sync, sector = 499914752, size = 140K
-> total 512K
The first one is to write an indirect node block, and the others are to write
direct node blocks.
The reason why there are two separate bios for direct node blocks is:
0. initial state
------------------ ------------------
| | |xxxxxxxx |
------------------ ------------------
1. write 368K
------------------ ------------------
| | |xxxxxxxxWWWWWWWW|
------------------ ------------------
2. write 140K
------------------ ------------------
|WWWWWWW | |xxxxxxxxWWWWWWWW|
------------------ ------------------
This is because f2fs_write_node_pages tries to write just 512K totally, so that
we can lose the chance to merge more bios nicely.
After this patch is applied, we can get the following bio traces.
f2fs_do_submit_bio: type = NODE, io = no sync, sector = 500103168, size = 8K
f2fs_do_submit_bio: type = NODE, io = no sync, sector = 500111368, size = 4K
f2fs_do_submit_bio: type = NODE, io = no sync, sector = 500107272, size = 512K
f2fs_do_submit_bio: type = NODE, io = no sync, sector = 500108296, size = 512K
f2fs_do_submit_bio: type = NODE, io = no sync, sector = 500109320, size = 500K
And finally, we can improve the sequential write performance,
from 458.775 MB/s to 479.945 MB/s on SSD.
