Previously, we used cp_version only to detect recoverable dnodes.
In order to avoid same garbage cp_version, we needed to truncate the next
dnode during checkpoint, resulting in additional discard or data write.
If we can distinguish this by using crc in addition to cp_version, we can
remove this overhead.
There is backward compatibility concern where it changes node_footer layout.
So, this patch introduces a new checkpoint flag, CP_CRC_RECOVERY_FLAG, to
detect new layout. New layout will be activated only when this flag is set.

When testing f2fs with xfstest, generic/251 is stuck for long time,
the case uses below serials to obtain fresh released space in device,
in order to prepare for following fstrim test.
1. rm -rf /mnt/dir
2. mkdir /mnt/dir/
3. cp -axT `pwd`/ /mnt/dir/
4. goto 1
During preparing step, all nat entries will be cached in nat cache,
most of them are dirty entries with invalid blkaddr, which means
nodes related to these entries have been truncated, and they could
be reused after the dirty entries been checkpointed.
However, there was no checkpoint been triggered, so nid allocators
(e.g. mkdir, creat) will run into long journey of iterating all NAT
pages, looking for free nids in alloc_nid->build_free_nids.
Here, in f2fs_balance_fs_bg we give another chance to do checkpoint
to flush nat entries for reusing them in free nid cache when dirty
entry count exceeds 10% of max count.

https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/10/8/20
This reverts commit 15bec0ff5a9ba6d203178fa8772259df6207942a.
Previously, we skip dentry block writes when wbc is SYNC_NONE with no memory
pressure and the number of dirty pages is pretty small.
But, we didn't skip for normal data writes, which gives us not much big impact
on overall performance.
Moreover, by skipping some data writes, kworker falls into infinite loop to try
to write blocks, when many dir inodes have only one dentry block.
So, this patch removes skipping data writes.

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.

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.
In this patch we merge dirty entries located in same NAT block to nat entry set,
and linked all set to list, sorted ascending order by entries' count of set.
Later we flush entries in sparse set into journal as many as we can, and then
flush merged entries to disk. In this way we can not only gain in performance,
but also save lifetime of flash device.
In my testing environment, it shows this patch can help to reduce NAT block
writes obviously. In hard disk test case: cost time of fsstress is stablely
reduced by about 5%.

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.
