Chao Yu 19f106bc03 f2fs: introduce f2fs_replace_block() for reuse
Introduce a generic function replace_block base on recover_data_page,
and export it. So with it we can operate file's meta data which is in
CP/SSA area when we invoke fallocate with FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE
flag.

Jaegeuk Kim a66cdd9855 f2fs: introduce discard_map for f2fs_trim_fs
This patch adds a bitmap for discard issues from f2fs_trim_fs.
There-in rule is to issue discard commands only for invalidated blocks
after mount.
Once mount is done, f2fs_trim_fs trims out whole invalid area.
After ehn, it will not issue and discrads redundantly.

In the following call stack, f2fs changes the bitmap for dirty segments and # of

Chao Yu b28c3f9493 f2fs: fix to issue small discard in real-time mode discard
Now in f2fs, we share functions and structures for batch mode and real-time mode
discard. For real-time mode discard, in shared function add_discard_addrs, we
will use uninitialized trim_minlen in struct cp_control to compare with length
of contiguous free blocks to decide whether skipping discard fragmented freespace
or not, this makes us ignore small discard sometimes. Fix it.

Chao Yu 1dcc336b02 f2fs: enable rb-tree extent cache
This patch enables rb-tree based extent cache in f2fs.

When we mount with "-o extent_cache", f2fs will try to add recently accessed
page-block mappings into rb-tree based extent cache as much as possible, instead
of original one extent info cache.

By this way, f2fs can support more effective cache between dnode page cache and
disk. It will supply high hit ratio in the cache with fewer memory when dnode
page cache are reclaimed in environment of low memory.

Chao Yu 1a118ccfd6 f2fs: use spinlock for segmap_lock instead of rwlock
rwlock can provide better concurrency when there are much more readers than
writers because readers can hold the rwlock simultaneously.

But now, for segmap_lock rwlock in struct free_segmap_info, there is only one
reader 'mount' from below call path:
->f2fs_fill_super
  ->build_segment_manager
    ->build_dirty_segmap
      ->init_dirty_segmap
        ->find_next_inuse
          read_lock
          ...
          read_unlock

Now that our concurrency can not be improved since there is no other reader for
this lock, we do not need to use rwlock_t type for segmap_lock, let's replace it
with spinlock_t type.

 - CP_FASTBOOT_FLAG is set when intermediate checkpoint having node summaries

So, if you get CP_UMOUNT_FLAG from checkpoint, the system was umounted cleanly.
Instead, if there was sudden-power-off, you can get CP_FASTBOOT_FLAG or nothing.

Jaegeuk Kim 38aa0889b2 f2fs: align direct_io'ed data to section
This patch aligns the start block address of a file for direct io to the f2fs's
section size.

Some flash devices manage an over 4KB-sized page as a write unit, and if the
direct_io'ed data are written but not aligned to that unit, the performance can
be degraded due to the partial page copies.

Thus, since f2fs has a section that is well aligned to FTL units, we can align
the block address to the section size so that f2fs avoids this misalignment.

this.

But, the commit_inmem_pages calls f2fs_balance_fs by default, even if

2. writes
  : all the written data will be treated as atomic pages.
3. commit

  nothing by f2fs recovery procedure.
4. repeat to #2.

Gu Zheng 721bd4d5c3 f2fs: use lock-less list(llist) to simplify the flush cmd management
We use flush cmd control to collect many flush cmds, and flush them
together. In this case, we use two list to manage the flush cmds
(collect and dispatch), and one spin lock is used to protect this.
In fact, the lock-less list(llist) is very suitable to this case,
and we use simplify this routine.

-
v2:
-use llist_for_each_entry_safe to fix possible use-after-free issue.
-remove the unused field from struct flush_cmd.
Thanks for Yu's suggestion.

Chao Yu 184a5cd2ce f2fs: refactor flush_sit_entries codes for reducing SIT writes
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.

virtual machine + hard disk:
fsstress -p 20 -n 400 -l 5
		sit page num	cp count	sit pages/cp
based		2006.50		1349.75		1.486
patched		1566.25		1463.25		1.070

Our latency of merging op is small when handling a great number of dirty SIT
entries in flush_sit_entries:
latency(ns)	dirty sit count
36038		2151
49168		2123
37174		2232
