Chao Yu 4c8ff7095b f2fs: support data compression
This patch tries to support compression in f2fs.

- New term named cluster is defined as basic unit of compression, file can
be divided into multiple clusters logically. One cluster includes 4 << n
(n >= 0) logical pages, compression size is also cluster size, each of
cluster can be compressed or not.

- In cluster metadata layout, one special flag is used to indicate cluster
is compressed one or normal one, for compressed cluster, following metadata
maps cluster to [1, 4 << n - 1] physical blocks, in where f2fs stores
data including compress header and compressed data.

- In order to eliminate write amplification during overwrite, F2FS only
support compression on write-once file, data can be compressed only when
all logical blocks in file are valid and cluster compress ratio is lower
than specified threshold.

- To enable compression on regular inode, there are three ways:
* chattr +c file
* chattr +c dir; touch dir/file
* mount w/ -o compress_extension=ext; touch file.ext

Compress metadata layout:
                             [Dnode Structure]
             +-----------------------------------------------+
             | cluster 1 | cluster 2 | ......... | cluster N |

Changelog:

20190326:
- fix error handling of read_end_io().
- remove unneeded comments in f2fs_encrypt_one_page().

20190327:
- fix wrong use of f2fs_cluster_is_full() in f2fs_mpage_readpages().
- don't jump into loop directly to avoid uninitialized variables.
- add TODO tag in error path of f2fs_write_cache_pages().

20190328:
- fix wrong merge condition in f2fs_read_multi_pages().
- check compressed file in f2fs_post_read_required().

20190401
- allow overwrite on non-compressed cluster.
- check cluster meta before writing compressed data.

20190402
- don't preallocate blocks for compressed file.

- add lz4 compress algorithm
- process multiple post read works in one workqueue
  Now f2fs supports processing post read work in multiple workqueue,
  it shows low performance due to schedule overhead of multiple
  workqueue executing orderly.

20190921
- compress: support buffered overwrite
C: compress cluster flag
V: valid block address
N: NEW_ADDR

One cluster contain 4 blocks

 before overwrite   after overwrite

- VVVV		->	CVNN
- CVNN		->	VVVV

- CVNN		->	CVNN
- CVNN		->	CVVV

- CVVV		->	CVNN
- CVVV		->	CVVV

20191029
- add kconfig F2FS_FS_COMPRESSION to isolate compression related
codes, add kconfig F2FS_FS_{LZO,LZ4} to cover backend algorithm.
note that: will remove lzo backend if Jaegeuk agreed that too.
- update codes according to Eric's comments.

20191101
- apply fixes from Jaegeuk

20191113
- apply fixes from Jaegeuk
- split workqueue for fsverity

20191216
- apply fixes from Jaegeuk

20200117
- fix to avoid NULL pointer dereference

[Jaegeuk Kim]
- add tracepoint for f2fs_{,de}compress_pages()
- fix many bugs and add some compression stats
- fix overwrite/mmap bugs
- address 32bit build error, reported by Geert.
- bug fixes when handling errors and i_compressed_blocks

help
F2FS is based on Log-structured File System (LFS), which supports
versatile "flash-friendly" features. The design has been focused on
addressing the fundamental issues in LFS, which are snowball effect
of wandering tree and high cleaning overhead.
Since flash-based storages show different characteristics according to
the internal geometry or flash memory management schemes aka FTL, F2FS
and tools support various parameters not only for configuring on-disk
layout, but also for selecting allocation and cleaning algorithms.

help
Security labels provide an access control facility to support Linux
Security Models (LSMs) accepted by AppArmor, SELinux, Smack and TOMOYO
Linux. This option enables an extended attribute handler for file
security labels in the f2fs filesystem, so that it requires enabling
the extended attribute support in advance. In particular you need this
option if you use the setcap command to assign initial process capabi-
lities to executables (the security.* extended attributes).
If you are not using a security module, say N.
