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%.

This patch removes list opeations in handling dirty dir inodes.
Previously, F2FS traverses whole the list of dirty dir inodes to check whether

indicate the inode lies on the list or not.

Some storage devices show relatively high latencies to complete cache_flush
commands, even though their normal IO speed is prettry much high. In such
the case, it needs to merge cache_flush commands as much as possible to avoid
issuing them redundantly.
So, this patch introduces a mount option, "-o flush_merge", to mitigate such
the overhead.
If this option is enabled by user, F2FS merges the cache_flush commands and then
issues just one cache_flush on behalf of them. Once the single command is
finished, F2FS sends a completion signal to all the pending threads.
Note that, this option can be used under a workload consisting of very intensive
concurrent fsync calls, while the storage handles cache_flush commands slowly.

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.

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.

f2fs_inode.

When considering a bunch of data writes with very frequent fsync calls, we
are able to think the following performance regression.
N: Node IO, D: Data IO, IO scheduler: cfq
Issue pending IOs
D1 D2 D3 D4
D1 D2 D3 D4 N1
D2 D3 D4 N1 N2
N1 D3 D4 N2 D1
--> N1 can be selected by cfq becase of the same priority of N and D.
Then D3 and D4 would be delayed, resuling in performance degradation.
So, when processing the fsync call, it'd better give higher priority to data IOs
than node IOs by assigning WRITE and WRITE_SYNC respectively.
This patch improves the random wirte performance with frequent fsync calls by up
to 10%.

Previously, f2fs doesn't support direct IOs with high performance, which throws
every write requests via the buffered write path, resulting in highly
performance degradation due to memory opeations like copy_from_user.
This patch introduces a new direct IO path in which every write requests are
processed by generic blockdev_direct_IO() with enhanced get_block function.
The get_data_block() in f2fs handles:
1. if original data blocks are allocates, then give them to blockdev.
2. otherwise,
a. preallocate requested block addresses
b. do not use extent cache for better performance
c. give the block addresses to blockdev
This policy induces that:

This patch introduces new sysfs entries for users to control the policy of
in-place-updates, namely IPU, in f2fs.
Sometimes f2fs suffers from performance degradation due to its out-of-place
update policy that produces many additional node block writes.
If the storage performance is very dependant on the amount of data writes
instead of IO patterns, we'd better drop this out-of-place update policy.
This patch suggests 5 polcies and their triggering conditions as follows.
[sysfs entry name = ipu_policy]
0: F2FS_IPU_FORCE all the time,
1: F2FS_IPU_SSR if SSR mode is activated,
2: F2FS_IPU_UTIL if FS utilization is over threashold,
3: F2FS_IPU_SSR_UTIL if SSR mode is activated and FS utilization is over
threashold,
4: F2FS_IPU_DISABLE disable IPU. (=default option)
[sysfs entry name = min_ipu_util]
This parameter controls the threshold to trigger in-place-updates.
The number indicates percentage of the filesystem utilization, and used by
F2FS_IPU_UTIL and F2FS_IPU_SSR_UTIL policies.

Previously f2fs submits most of write requests using WRITE_SYNC, but f2fs_write_data_pages
submits last write requests by sync_mode flags callers pass.
This causes a performance problem since continuous pages with different sync flags
can't be merged in cfq IO scheduler(thanks yu chao for pointing it out), and synchronous
requests often take more time.
This patch makes the following modifies to DATA writebacks:
1. every page will be written back using the sync mode caller pass.
2. only pages with the same sync mode can be merged in one bio request.
These changes are restricted to DATA pages.Other types of writebacks are modified
To remain synchronous.
In my test with tiotest, f2fs sequence write performance is improved by about 7%-10% ,
and this patch has no obvious impact on other performance tests.

The f2fs manages an extent cache to search a number of consecutive data blocks
very quickly.
However it conducts unnecessary cache operations if the file is highly
fragmented with no valid extent cache.
In such the case, we don't need to handle the extent cache, but just can disable
the cache facility.
Nevertheless, this patch gives one more chance to enable the extent cache.
For example,
1. create a file
2. write data sequentially which produces a large valid extent cache
3. update some data, resulting in a fragmented extent
4. if the fragmented extent is too small, then drop extent cache
5. close the file
6. open the file again
7. give another chance to make a new extent cache
8. write data sequentially again which creates another big extent cache.

Previously, do_checkpoint() will call congestion_wait() for waiting the pages
(previous submitted node/meta/data pages) to be written back.
Because congestion_wait() will set a regular period (e.g. HZ / 50 ) for waiting, and
no additional wake up mechanism was introduced if IO ends up before regular period costed.
Yuan Zhong found there is a situation that after the pages have been written back,
but the checkpoint thread still wait for congestion_wait to exit.
So here we store checkpoint task into f2fs_sb when doing checkpoint, it'll wait for IO completes
if there's IO going on, and in the end IO path, wake up checkpoint task when IO ends up.

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.

-fix the potential starvation problem.
-use more suitable func name suggested by Xu Jin.

Previously xattr node blocks are stored to the COLD_NODE log, which means that
our roll-forward mechanism doesn't recover the xattr node blocks at all.
Only the direct node blocks in the WARM_NODE log can be recovered.
So, let's resolve the issue simply by conducting checkpoint during fsync when a
file has a modified xattr node block.
This approach is able to degrade the performance, but normally the checkpoint
overhead is shown at the initial fsync call after the xattr entry changes.
Once the checkpoint is done, no additional overhead would be occurred.

This patch fixes a deadlock bug that occurs quite often when there are
concurrent write and fsync on a same file.
Following is the simplified call trace when tasks get hung.
fsync thread:
- f2fs_sync_file
...
- f2fs_write_data_pages
...
- update_extent_cache
...
- update_inode
- wait_on_page_writeback
bdi writeback thread
- __writeback_single_inode
- f2fs_write_data_pages
- mutex_lock(sbi->writepages)
The deadlock happens when the fsync thread waits on a inode page that has
been added to the f2fs' cached bio sbi->bio[NODE], and unfortunately,
no one else could be able to submit the cached bio to block layer for
writeback. This is because the fsync thread already hold a sbi->fs_lock and
the sbi->writepages lock, causing the bdi thread being blocked when attempt
to write data pages for the same inode. At the same time, f2fs_gc thread
does not notice the situation and could not help. Even the sync syscall
gets blocked.
To fix it, we could submit the cached bio first before waiting on a inode page
that is being written back.

The bug is triggered when check_index_in_prev_nodes tries to get the direct
node page by calling get_node_page.
At this point, if the direct node page is already locked by get_dnode_of_data,
its caller, we got a deadlock condition.
This patch adds additional condition check for the reuse of locked direct node
pages prior to the get_node_page call.

Majianpeng reported a lockdep splat for f2fs. It turns out mutex_lock_all()
acquires an array of locks (in global/local lock style).
Any such operation is always serialized using cp_mutex, therefore there is no
fs_lock[] lock-order issue; tell lockdep about this using the
mutex_lock_nest_lock() primitive.

I found a bug when testing power-off-recovery as follows.
[Bug Scenario]
1. create a file
2. fsync the file
3. reboot w/o any sync
4. try to recover the file
- found its fsync mark
- found its dentry mark
: try to recover its dentry
- get its file name
- get its parent inode number
: here we got zero value
The reason why we get the wrong parent inode number is that we didn't
synchronize the inode page with its newly created inode information perfectly.
Especially, previous f2fs stores fi->i_pino and writes it to the cached
node page in a wrong order, which incurs the zero-valued i_pino during the
recovery.
So, this patch modifies the creation flow to fix the synchronization order of
inode page with its inode.

During the dentry recovery routine, recover_inode() triggers __f2fs_add_link

In the following scenario, a bug is captured.
1. dir = f2fs_iget(pino)
2. __f2fs_add_link(dir, name)
3. iput(dir)

This means that we should flush all the dentry pages between iget and iput().
But, during the recovery routine, it is unallowed due to consistency, so we
have to wait the whole recovery process.
And then, write_checkpoint flushes all the dirty dentry blocks, and nicely we
can put the stale dir inodes from the dirty_dir_inode_list.

In order to avoid build_free_nid lock contention, let's change the order of
function calls as follows.
At first, check whether there is enough free nids.
- If available, just get a free nid with spin_lock without any overhead.
- Otherwise, conduct build_free_nids.
: scan nat pages, journal nat entries, and nat cache entries.
We should consider carefullly not to serve free nids intermediately made by
build_free_nids.
We can get stable free nids only after build_free_nids is done.

In the previous version, f2fs uses global locks according to the usage types,
such as directory operations, block allocation, block write, and so on.
Reference the following lock types in f2fs.h.
enum lock_type {
RENAME, /* for renaming operations */
DENTRY_OPS, /* for directory operations */
DATA_WRITE, /* for data write */
DATA_NEW, /* for data allocation */
DATA_TRUNC, /* for data truncate */
NODE_NEW, /* for node allocation */
NODE_TRUNC, /* for node truncate */
NODE_WRITE, /* for node write */
NR_LOCK_TYPE,
};
In that case, we lose the performance under the multi-threading environment,
since every types of operations must be conducted one at a time.
In order to address the problem, let's share the locks globally with a mutex
array regardless of any types.
So, let users grab a mutex and perform their jobs in parallel as much as
possbile.
For this, I propose a new global lock scheme as follows.
0. Data structure
- f2fs_sb_info -> mutex_lock[NR_GLOBAL_LOCKS]
- f2fs_sb_info -> node_write
1. mutex_lock_op(sbi)
- try to get an avaiable lock from the array.
- returns the index of the gottern lock variable.
2. mutex_unlock_op(sbi, index of the lock)
- unlock the given index of the lock.
3. mutex_lock_all(sbi)
- grab all the locks in the array before the checkpoint.
4. mutex_unlock_all(sbi)
- release all the locks in the array after checkpoint.
5. block_operations()
- call mutex_lock_all()
- sync_dirty_dir_inodes()
- grab node_write
- sync_node_pages()
Note that,
the pairs of mutex_lock_op()/mutex_unlock_op() and
mutex_lock_all()/mutex_unlock_all() should be used together.

This patch removes a bitmap for victim segments selected by foreground GC, and
modifies the other bitmap for victim segments selected by background GC.
1) foreground GC bitmap
: We don't need to manage this, since we just only one previous victim section
number instead of the whole victim history.
The f2fs uses the victim section number in order not to allocate currently
GC'ed section to current active logs.
2) background GC bitmap
: This bitmap is used to avoid selecting victims repeatedly by background GCs.
In addition, the victims are able to be selected by foreground GCs, since
there is no need to read victim blocks during foreground GCs.
By the fact that the foreground GC reclaims segments in a section unit, it'd
be better to manage this bitmap based on the section granularity.

Previously, f2fs reads several node pages ahead when get_dnode_of_data is called
with RDONLY_NODE flag.
And, this flag is set by the following functions.
- get_data_block_ro
- get_lock_data_page
- do_write_data_page

1. Background
Previously, if f2fs tries to move data blocks of an *evicting* inode during the
cleaning process, it stops the process incompletely and then restarts the whole
process, since it needs a locked inode to grab victim data pages in its address
space. In order to get a locked inode, iget_locked() by f2fs_iget() is normally
used, but, it waits if the inode is on freeing.
So, here is a deadlock scenario.
1. f2fs_evict_inode() <- inode "A"
2. f2fs_balance_fs()
3. f2fs_gc()
4. gc_data_segment()
5. f2fs_iget() <- inode "A" too!
If step #1 and #5 treat a same inode "A", step #5 would fall into deadlock since
the inode "A" is on freeing. In order to resolve this, f2fs_iget_nowait() which
skips __wait_on_freeing_inode() was introduced in step #5, and stops f2fs_gc()
to complete f2fs_evict_inode().
1. f2fs_evict_inode() <- inode "A"
2. f2fs_balance_fs()
3. f2fs_gc()
4. gc_data_segment()
5. f2fs_iget_nowait() <- inode "A", then stop f2fs_gc() w/ -ENOENT
2. Problem and Solution
In the above scenario, however, f2fs cannot finish f2fs_evict_inode() only if:
o there are not enough free sections, and
o f2fs_gc() tries to move data blocks of the *evicting* inode repeatedly.
So, the final solution is to use f2fs_iget() and remove f2fs_balance_fs() in
f2fs_evict_inode().
The f2fs_evict_inode() actually truncates all the data and node blocks, which
means that it doesn't produce any dirty node pages accordingly.
So, we don't need to do f2fs_balance_fs() in practical.

This patch enhances the checkpoint routine to cope with IO errors.
Basically f2fs detects IO errors from end_io_write, and the errors are able to
be occurred during one of data, node, and meta page writes.
In the previous code, when an IO error is occurred during writes, f2fs sets a
flag, CP_ERROR_FLAG, in the raw ckeckpoint buffer which will be written to disk.
Afterwards, write_checkpoint() will check the flag and remount f2fs as a
read-only (ro) mode.
However, even once f2fs is remounted as a ro mode, dirty checkpoint pages are
freely able to be written to disk by flusher or kswapd in background.
In such a case, after cold reboot, f2fs would restore the checkpoint data having
CP_ERROR_FLAG, resulting in disabling write_checkpoint and remounting f2fs as
a ro mode again.
Therefore, let's prevent any checkpoint page (meta) writes once an IO error is
occurred, and remount f2fs as a ro mode right away at that moment.

Previously, f2fs didn't track the parent inode number correctly which is stored
in each f2fs_inode. In the case of the following scenario, a bug can be occured.
Let's suppose there are one directory, "/b", and two files, "/a" and "/b/a".
- pino of "/a" is ROOT_INO.
- pino of "/b/a" is DIR_B_INO.
Then,
# sync
: The inode pages of "/a" and "/b/a" contain the parent inode numbers as
ROOT_INO and DIR_B_INO respectively.
# mv /a /b/a
: The parent inode number of "/a" should be changed to DIR_B_INO, but f2fs
didn't do that. Ref. f2fs_set_link().
In order to fix this clearly, I added i_pino in f2fs_inode_info, and whenever
it needs to be changed like in f2fs_add_link() and f2fs_set_link(), it is
updated temporarily in f2fs_inode_info.
And later, f2fs_write_inode() stores the latest information to the inode pages.
For power-off-recovery, f2fs_sync_file() triggers simply f2fs_write_inode().
