Commit 24ec2125f3 ("powerpc/xmon: Use cpumask iterator to avoid warning")
replaced a loop from 0 to NR_CPUS-1 with a for_each_possible_cpu() loop,
which means that if the last possible cpu is in xmon, we print the
wrong value for the end of the range. For example, if 4 cpus are
possible, NR_CPUS is 128, and all cpus are in xmon, we print "0-7f"
rather than "0-3". The code also assumes that the set of possible
cpus is contiguous, which may not necessarily be true.
This fixes the code to check explicitly for contiguity, and to print
the ending value correctly.

This patch improves the gc efficiency by optimizing the victim
selection policy. With this optimization, the random re-write
performance could increase up to 20%.
For f2fs, when disk is in shortage of free spaces, gc will selects
dirty segments and moves valid blocks around for making more space
available. The gc cost of a segment is determined by the valid blocks
in the segment. The less the valid blocks, the higher the efficiency.
The ideal victim segment is the one that has the most garbage blocks.
Currently, it searches up to 20 dirty segments for a victim segment.
The selected victim is not likely the best victim for gc when there
are much more dirty segments. Why not searching more dirty segments
for a better victim? The cost of searching dirty segments is
negligible in comparison to moving blocks.
In this patch, it enlarges the MAX_VICTIM_SEARCH to 4096 to make
the search more aggressively for a possible better victim. Since
it also applies to victim selection for SSR, it will likely improve
the SSR efficiency as well.
The test case is simple. It creates as many files until the disk full.
The size for each file is 32KB. Then it writes as many as 100000
records of 4KB size to random offsets of random files in sync mode.
The testing was done on a 2GB partition of a SDHC card. Let's see the
test result of f2fs without and with the patch.
---------------------------------------
2GB partition, SDHC
create 52023 files of size 32768 bytes
random re-write 100000 records of 4KB
---------------------------------------
| file creation (s) | rewrite time (s) | gc count | gc garbage blocks |
[no patch] 341 4227 1174 174840
[patched] 324 2958 645 106682
It's obvious that, with the patch, f2fs finishes the test in 20+% less
time than without the patch. And internally it does much less gc with
higher efficiency than before.
Since the performance improvement is related to gc, it might not be so
obvious for other tests that do not trigger gc as often as this one (
This is because f2fs selects dirty segments for SSR use most of the
time when free space is in shortage). The well-known iozone test tool
was not used for benchmarking the patch becuase it seems do not have
a test case that performs random re-write on a full disk.
This patch is the revised version based on the suggestion from
Jaegeuk Kim.

The exynos4 platform is only dt-based since 3.10, we should convert driver data
and ids to dt-based parsing methods. The rotator driver has a limit table to get
size limit of input picture. Each SoCs has slightly different limit value
compared with any others.
For example, exynos4210's max_size of RGB888 is 16k x 16k. But, others have
8k x 8k. Another example the exynos5250 should have multiple of 2 pixel size
for its X/Y axis. Thus, we should keep different tables for each of them.

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 = 500109320, size = 500K

Pull Xen updates from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
"A couple of features and a ton of bug-fixes. There is also some
maintership changes. Jeremy is enjoying the full-time work at the
startup and as much as he would love to help - he can't find the time.
I have a bunch of other things that I promised to work on - paravirt
diet, get SWIOTLB working everywhere, etc, but haven't been able to
find the time.
As such both David Vrabel and Boris Ostrovsky have graciously
volunteered to help with the maintership role. They will keep the lid
on regressions, bug-fixes, etc. I will be in the background to help -
but eventually there will be less of me doing the Xen GIT pulls and
more of them. Stefano is still doing the ARM/ARM64 and will continue
on doing so.
Features:
- Xen Trusted Platform Module (TPM) frontend driver - with the
backend in MiniOS.
- Scalability improvements in event channel.
- Two extra Xen co-maintainers (David, Boris) and one going away (Jeremy)
Bug-fixes:
- Make the 1:1 mapping work during early bootup on selective regions.
- Add scratch page to balloon driver to deal with unexpected code
