As comment says, we don't need to call f2fs_lock_op in write_inode to prevent
from producing dirty node pages all the time.
That happens only when there is not enough free sections and we can avoid that
by calling balance_fs in prior to that.

In following call stack, if unfortunately we lose all chances to truncate
inode page in remove_inode_page, eventually we will add the nid allocated
previously into free nid cache, this nid is with NID_NEW status and with
NEW_ADDR in its blkaddr pointer:
- f2fs_create
- f2fs_add_link
- __f2fs_add_link
- init_inode_metadata
- new_inode_page
- new_node_page
- set_node_addr(, NEW_ADDR)
- f2fs_init_acl failed
- remove_inode_page failed
- handle_failed_inode
- remove_inode_page failed
- iput
- f2fs_evict_inode
- remove_inode_page failed
- alloc_nid_failed cache a nid with valid blkaddr: NEW_ADDR
This may not only cause resource leak of previous inode, but also may cause
incorrect use of the previous blkaddr which is located in NO.nid node entry
when this nid is reused by others.
This patch tries to add this inode to orphan list if we fail to truncate
inode, so that we can obtain a second chance to release it in orphan
recovery flow.

ext4 crypto: use per-inode tfm structure
As suggested by Herbert Xu, we shouldn't allocate a new tfm each time
we read or write a page. Instead we can use a single tfm hanging off
the inode's crypt_info structure for all of our encryption needs for
that inode, since the tfm can be used by multiple crypto requests in

Also use cmpxchg() to avoid races that could result in crypt_info

This patch enables rb-tree based extent cache in f2fs.

By this way, f2fs can support more effective cache between dnode page cache and

Reclaim will be leaving shadow entries in the page cache radix tree upon
evicting the real page. As those pages are found from the LRU, an
iput() can lead to the inode being freed concurrently. At this point,
reclaim must no longer install shadow pages because the inode freeing
code needs to ensure the page tree is really empty.
Add an address_space flag, AS_EXITING, that the inode freeing code sets
under the tree lock before doing the final truncate. Reclaim will check
for this flag before installing shadow pages.

This patch introduces an i_dir_level field to support large directory.
Previously, f2fs maintains multi-level hash tables to find a dentry quickly
from a bunch of chiild dentries in a directory, and the hash tables consist of
the following tree structure as below.
In Documentation/filesystems/f2fs.txt,
----------------------
A : bucket
B : block
N : MAX_DIR_HASH_DEPTH
----------------------
level #0 | A(2B)
|
level #1 | A(2B) - A(2B)
|
level #2 | A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B)
. | . . . .
level #N/2 | A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - ... - A(2B)
. | . . . .
level #N | A(4B) - A(4B) - A(4B) - A(4B) - A(4B) - ... - A(4B)
But, if we can guess that a directory will handle a number of child files,
we don't need to traverse the tree from level #0 to #N all the time.
Since the lower level tables contain relatively small number of dentries,
the miss ratio of the target dentry is likely to be high.
In order to avoid that, we can configure the hash tables sparsely from level #0
like this.
level #0 | A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B)
level #1 | A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - ... - A(2B)
. | . . . .
level #N/2 | A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - ... - A(2B)
. | . . . .
level #N | A(4B) - A(4B) - A(4B) - A(4B) - A(4B) - ... - A(4B)
With this structure, we can skip the ineffective tree searches in lower level
hash tables.
This patch adds just a facility for this by introducing i_dir_level in
f2fs_inode.

The fs_locks is used to block other ops(ex, recovery) when doing checkpoint.
And each other operate routine(besides checkpoint) needs to acquire a fs_lock,
there is a terrible problem here, if these are too many concurrency threads acquiring
fs_lock, so that they will block each other and may lead to some performance problem,
but this is not the phenomenon we want to see.
Though there are some optimization patches introduced to enhance the usage of fs_lock,
but the thorough solution is using a *rw_sem* to replace the fs_lock.
Checkpoint routine takes write_sem, and other ops take read_sem, so that we can block
other ops(ex, recovery) when doing checkpoint, and other ops will not disturb each other,
this can avoid the problem described above completely.
Because of the weakness of rw_sem, the above change may introduce a potential problem
that the checkpoint thread might get starved if other threads are intensively locking
the read semaphore for I/O.(Pointed out by Xu Jin)
In order to avoid this, a wait_list is introduced, the appending read semaphore ops
will be dropped into the wait_list if checkpoint thread is waiting for write semaphore,
and will be waked up when checkpoint thread gives up write semaphore.
Thanks to Kim's previous review and test, and will be very glad to see other guys'
performance tests about this patch.
V2:
-fix the potential starvation problem.
-use more suitable func name suggested by Xu Jin.

In f2fs_write_inode, updating inode after f2fs_balance_fs is not
a optimized way in the case that f2fs_gc is performed ahead. The
inode page will be unnecessarily written out twice, one of which
is in f2fs_gc->...->sync_node_pages and the other is in
update_inode_page.
Let's update the inode page in prior to f2fs_balance_fs to avoid
this.

$ sync (or wait the bdi to write dirty inode)
