This patch adds support for volatile writes which keep data pages in memory
until f2fs_evict_inode is called by iput.
For instance, we can use this feature for the sqlite database as follows.
While supporting atomic writes for main database file, we can keep its journal
data temporarily in the page cache by the following sequence.
1. open
-> ioctl(F2FS_IOC_START_VOLATILE_WRITE);
2. writes
: keep all the data in the page cache.
3. flush to the database file with atomic writes
a. ioctl(F2FS_IOC_START_ATOMIC_WRITE);
b. writes
c. ioctl(F2FS_IOC_COMMIT_ATOMIC_WRITE);
4. close
-> drop the cached data

This patch introduces a very limited functionality for atomic write support.
In order to support atomic write, this patch adds two ioctls:
o F2FS_IOC_START_ATOMIC_WRITE
o F2FS_IOC_COMMIT_ATOMIC_WRITE
The database engine should be aware of the following sequence.
1. open
-> ioctl(F2FS_IOC_START_ATOMIC_WRITE);
2. writes
: all the written data will be treated as atomic pages.
3. commit
-> ioctl(F2FS_IOC_COMMIT_ATOMIC_WRITE);
: this flushes all the data blocks to the disk, which will be shown all or
nothing by f2fs recovery procedure.
4. repeat to #2.
The IO pattens should be:
,- START_ATOMIC_WRITE ,- COMMIT_ATOMIC_WRITE
CP | D D D D D D | FSYNC | D D D D | FSYNC ...
`- COMMIT_ATOMIC_WRITE

Previously, f2fs tries to reorganize the dirty nat entries into multiple sets

We can summarize the roll forward recovery scenarios as follows.

-> Update the latest inode(x).
2. inode(x) | CP | inode(F) | dnode(F)
-> No problem.
3. inode(x) | CP | dnode(F) | inode(x)
-> Recover to the latest dnode(F), and drop the last inode(x)
4. inode(x) | CP | dnode(F) | inode(F)
-> No problem.
5. CP | inode(x) | dnode(F)
-> The inode(DF) was missing. Should drop this dnode(F).
6. CP | inode(DF) | dnode(F)
-> No problem.
7. CP | dnode(F) | inode(DF)
-> If f2fs_iget fails, then goto next to find inode(DF).
8. CP | dnode(F) | inode(x)

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.

double lock for its inode page via get_dnode_of_data.

2. write data 100, 102, 103, 104, 105 in dnode #6 of inode #4.
3. sync
4. update data 100->106 in dnode #6.
5. fsync inode #4.
6. power-cut
-> Then,
1. go back to #3's checkpoint
2. in do_recover_data, get_dnode_of_data() gets inode #4.
3. detect 100->106 in dnode #6.
4. check_index_in_prev_nodes tries to truncate 100 in dnode #6.

And, if the number of dirty pages is over /sys/fs/f2fs/min_fsync_blocks, it

In commit aec71382c6 ("f2fs: refactor flush_nat_entries codes for reducing NAT
writes"), we descripte the issue as below:
"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."
Actually, we have the same problem in using SIT journal area.
In this patch, firstly we will update sit journal with dirty entries as many as
possible. Secondly if there is no space in sit journal, we will remove all
entries in journal and walk through the whole dirty entry bitmap of sit,
accounting dirty sit entries located in same SIT block to sit entry set. All
entry sets are linked to list sit_entry_set in sm_info, sorted ascending order
by count of entries in set. Later we flush entries in set which have fewest
entries into journal as many as we can, and then flush dense set with merged
entries to disk.
In this way we can use sit journal area more effectively, also we will reduce
SIT update, result in gaining in performance and saving lifetime of flash
device.
In my testing environment, it shows this patch can help to reduce SIT block
update obviously.
