f2fs rw_semaphores work better if writers can starve readers,
especially for the checkpoint thread, because writers are strictly
more important than reader threads. This prevents significant priority
inversion between low-priority readers that blocked while trying to
acquire the read lock and a second acquisition of the write lock that
might be blocking high priority work.

In this round, we've tried to address some performance issues in f2fs_checkpoint
and direct IO flows. Also, there was a work to enhance the page cache management
used for compression. Other than them, we've done typical work including sysfs,
code clean-ups, tracepoint, sanity check, in addition to bug fixes on corner
cases.
Enhancement:
- use iomap for direct IO
- try to avoid lock contention to improve f2fs_ckpt speed
- avoid unnecessary memory allocation in compression flow
- POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED drops the page cache containing compression pages
- add some sysfs entries (gc_urgent_high_remaining, pending_discard)
Bug fix:
- try not to expose unwritten blocks to user by DIO
: this was added to avoid merge conflict; another patch is coming to address
other missing case.
- relax minor error condition for file pinning feature used in Android OTA
- fix potential deadlock case in compression flow
- should not truncate any block on pinned file
In addition, we've done some code clean-ups and tracepoint/sanity check
improvement.

Various places in the kernel - largely in filesystems - respond to a
memory allocation failure by looping around and re-trying. Some of
these cannot conveniently use __GFP_NOFAIL, for reasons such as:
- a GFP_ATOMIC allocation, which __GFP_NOFAIL doesn't work on
- a need to check for the process being signalled between failures
- the possibility that other recovery actions could be performed
- the allocation is quite deep in support code, and passing down an
extra flag to say if __GFP_NOFAIL is wanted would be clumsy.
Many of these currently use congestion_wait() which (in almost all
cases) simply waits the given timeout - congestion isn't tracked for
most devices.
It isn't clear what the best delay is for loops, but it is clear that
the various filesystems shouldn't be responsible for choosing a timeout.
This patch introduces memalloc_retry_wait() with takes on that
responsibility. Code that wants to retry a memory allocation can call
this function passing the GFP flags that were used. It will wait
however is appropriate.
For now, it only considers __GFP_NORETRY and whatever
gfpflags_allow_blocking() tests. If blocking is allowed without
__GFP_NORETRY, then alloc_page either made some reclaim progress, or
waited for a while, before failing. So there is no need for much
further waiting. memalloc_retry_wait() will wait until the current
jiffie ends. If this condition is not met, then alloc_page() won't have
waited much if at all. In that case memalloc_retry_wait() waits about
200ms. This is the delay that most current loops uses.
linux/sched/mm.h needs to be included in some files now,
but linux/backing-dev.h does not.

The root cause is for special file: e.g. character, block, fifo or socket file,

so, in a fuzzed image, SSA table indicates a data block belong to special file, when
f2fs tries to migrate that block, it causes NULL pointer access once move_data_page()
calls a_ops->set_dirty_page().

Added two options into "mode=" mount option to make it possible for
developers to simulate filesystem fragmentation/after-GC situation
itself. The developers use these modes to understand filesystem
fragmentation/after-GC condition well, and eventually get some
insights to handle them better.
"fragment:segment": f2fs allocates a new segment in ramdom position.
With this, we can simulate the after-GC condition.
"fragment:block" : We can scatter block allocation with
"max_fragment_chunk" and "max_fragment_hole" sysfs
nodes. f2fs will allocate 1..<max_fragment_chunk>
blocks in a chunk and make a hole in the length of
1..<max_fragment_hole> by turns in a newly allocated
free segment. Plus, this mode implicitly enables
"fragment:segment" option for more randomness.

Restruct f2fs page private layout for below reasons:
There are some cases that f2fs wants to set a flag in a page to
indicate a specified status of page:
a) page is in transaction list for atomic write
b) page contains dummy data for aligned write
c) page is migrating for GC
d) page contains inline data for inline inode flush
e) page belongs to merkle tree, and is verified for fsverity
f) page is dirty and has filesystem/inode reference count for writeback
g) page is temporary and has decompress io context reference for compression
There are existed places in page structure we can use to store
f2fs private status/data:
- page.flags: PG_checked, PG_private
- page.private
However it was a mess when we using them, which may cause potential
confliction:
page.private PG_private PG_checked page._refcount (+1 at most)
a) -1 set +1
b) -2 set
c), d), e) set
f) 0 set +1
g) pointer set
The other problem is page.flags has no free slot, if we can avoid set
zero to page.private and set PG_private flag, then we use non-zero value
to indicate PG_private status, so that we may have chance to reclaim
PG_private slot for other usage. [1]
The other concern is f2fs has bad scalability in aspect of indicating
more page status.
So in this patch, let's restructure f2fs' page.private as below to
solve above issues:
Layout A: lowest bit should be 1
| bit0 = 1 | bit1 | bit2 | ... | bit MAX | private data .... |
bit 0 PAGE_PRIVATE_NOT_POINTER
bit 1 PAGE_PRIVATE_ATOMIC_WRITE
bit 2 PAGE_PRIVATE_DUMMY_WRITE
bit 3 PAGE_PRIVATE_ONGOING_MIGRATION
bit 4 PAGE_PRIVATE_INLINE_INODE
bit 5 PAGE_PRIVATE_REF_RESOURCE
bit 6- f2fs private data
Layout B: lowest bit should be 0
page.private is a wrapped pointer.
After the change:
page.private PG_private PG_checked page._refcount (+1 at most)
a) 11 set +1
b) 101 set +1
c) 1001 set +1
d) 10001 set +1
e) set
f) 100001 set +1
g) pointer set +1

In CP disabling mode, there are two issues when using LFS or SSR | AT_SSR
mode to select victim:
1. LFS is set to find source section during GC, the victim should have
no checkpointed data, since after GC, section could not be set free for
reuse.
Previously, we only check valid chpt blocks in current segment rather
than section, fix it.
2. SSR | AT_SSR are set to find target segment for writes which can be
fully filled by checkpointed and newly written blocks, we should never
select such segment, otherwise it can cause panic or data corruption
during allocation, potential case is described as below:
a) target segment has 'n' (n < 512) ckpt valid blocks
b) GC migrates 'n' valid blocks to other segment (segment is still
in dirty list)
c) GC migrates '512 - n' blocks to target segment (segment has 'n'
cp_vblocks and '512 - n' vblocks)
d) If GC selects target segment via {AT,}SSR allocator, however there

There are several issues in current background GC algorithm:
- valid blocks is one of key factors during cost overhead calculation,
so if segment has less valid block, however even its age is young or
it locates hot segment, CB algorithm will still choose the segment as
victim, it's not appropriate.
- GCed data/node will go to existing logs, no matter in-there datas'
update frequency is the same or not, it may mix hot and cold data
again.
- GC alloctor mainly use LFS type segment, it will cost free segment
more quickly.
This patch introduces a new algorithm named age threshold based
garbage collection to solve above issues, there are three steps
mainly:
1. select a source victim:
- set an age threshold, and select candidates beased threshold:
e.g.
0 means youngest, 100 means oldest, if we set age threshold to 80
then select dirty segments which has age in range of [80, 100] as
candiddates;
- set candidate_ratio threshold, and select candidates based the
ratio, so that we can shrink candidates to those oldest segments;
- select target segment with fewest valid blocks in order to
migrate blocks with minimum cost;
2. select a target victim:
- select candidates beased age threshold;
- set candidate_radius threshold, search candidates whose age is
around source victims, searching radius should less than the
radius threshold.
- select target segment with most valid blocks in order to avoid
migrating current target segment.
3. merge valid blocks from source victim into target victim with
SSR alloctor.
Test steps:
- create 160 dirty segments:
* half of them have 128 valid blocks per segment
* left of them have 384 valid blocks per segment
- run background GC

Previous implementation of aligned pinfile allocation will:
- allocate new segment on cold data log no matter whether last used
segment is partially used or not, it makes IOs more random;
- force concurrent cold data/GCed IO going into warm data area, it
can make a bad effect on hot/cold data separation;
In this patch, we introduce a new type of log named 'inmem curseg',
the differents from normal curseg is:
- it reuses existed segment type (CURSEG_XXX_NODE/DATA);
- it only exists in memory, its segno, blkofs, summary will not b
persisted into checkpoint area;
With this new feature, we can enhance scalability of log, special
allocators can be created for purposes:
- pure lfs allocator for aligned pinfile allocation or file
defragmentation
- pure ssr allocator for later feature
So that, let's update aligned pinfile allocation to use this new
inmem curseg fwk.

NVMe Zoned Namespace devices can have zone-capacity less than zone-size.
Zone-capacity indicates the maximum number of sectors that are usable in
a zone beginning from the first sector of the zone. This makes the sectors
sectors after the zone-capacity till zone-size to be unusable.
This patch set tracks zone-size and zone-capacity in zoned devices and
calculate the usable blocks per segment and usable segments per section.
If zone-capacity is less than zone-size mark only those segments which
start before zone-capacity as free segments. All segments at and beyond
zone-capacity are treated as permanently used segments. In cases where
zone-capacity does not align with segment size the last segment will start
before zone-capacity and end beyond the zone-capacity of the zone. For
such spanning segments only sectors within the zone-capacity are used.
During writes and GC manage the usable segments in a section and usable
blocks per segment. Segments which are beyond zone-capacity are never
allocated, and do not need to be garbage collected, only the segments
which are before zone-capacity needs to garbage collected.
For spanning segments based on the number of usable blocks in that
segment, write to blocks only up to zone-capacity.
Zone-capacity is device specific and cannot be configured by the user.
Since NVMe ZNS device zones are sequentially write only, a block device
with conventional zones or any normal block device is needed along with
the ZNS device for the metadata operations of F2fs.
A typical nvme-cli output of a zoned device shows zone start and capacity
and write pointer as below:
SLBA: 0x0 WP: 0x0 Cap: 0x18800 State: EMPTY Type: SEQWRITE_REQ
SLBA: 0x20000 WP: 0x20000 Cap: 0x18800 State: EMPTY Type: SEQWRITE_REQ
SLBA: 0x40000 WP: 0x40000 Cap: 0x18800 State: EMPTY Type: SEQWRITE_REQ
Here zone size is 64MB, capacity is 49MB, WP is at zone start as the zones
are in EMPTY state. For each zone, only zone start + 49MB is usable area,
any lba/sector after 49MB cannot be read or written to, the drive will fail
any attempts to read/write. So, the second zone starts at 64MB and is
usable till 113MB (64 + 49) and the range between 113 and 128MB is
again unusable. The next zone starts at 128MB, and so on.

When f2fs_ioc_gc_range performs multiple segments gc ops, the return
value of f2fs_ioc_gc_range is determined by the last segment gc ops.
If its ops failed, the f2fs_ioc_gc_range will be considered to be failed
despite some of previous segments gc ops succeeded. Therefore, so we
fix: Redefine the return value of getting victim ops and add exception
handle for f2fs_gc. In particular, 1).if target has no valid block, it
will go on. 2).if target sectoion has valid block(s), but it is current
section, we will reminder the caller.

Assume each section has 4 segment:
.___________________________.
|_Segment0_|_..._|_Segment3_|
. .

.__________.
|_section0_|
Segment 0~2 has 0 valid block, segment 3 has 512 valid blocks.
It will fail if we want to gc section0 in this scenes,
because all 4 segments in section0 is not dirty.
So we should use dirty section bitmap instead of dirty segment bitmap
to get right victim section.

As Geert Uytterhoeven reported:
for parameter HZ/50 in congestion_wait(BLK_RW_ASYNC, HZ/50);
On some platforms, HZ can be less than 50, then unexpected 0 timeout
jiffies will be set in congestion_wait().
This patch introduces a macro DEFAULT_IO_TIMEOUT to wrap a determinate
value with msecs_to_jiffies(20) to instead HZ/50 to avoid such issue.
Quoted from Geert Uytterhoeven:
"A timeout of HZ means 1 second.
HZ/50 means 20 ms, but has the risk of being zero, if HZ < 50.
If you want to use a timeout of 20 ms, you best use msecs_to_jiffies(20),
as that takes care of the special cases, and never returns 0."
