40bb0058c8 f2fs: avoid to drop nat entries due to the negative nr_shrink
The try_to_free_nats should not receive the negative nr_shrink.
Otherwise, it can drop all the nat entries by the while loop.

3cb5ad152b f2fs: call f2fs_wait_on_page_writeback instead of native function
If a page is on writeback, f2fs can face with deadlock due to under writepages.
This is caused by merging IOs inside f2fs, so if it comes to detect, let's throw
merged IOs, which is implemented by f2fs_wait_on_page_writeback.

d653788a43 f2fs: optimize restore_node_summary slightly
Previously, we ra_sum_pages to pre-read contiguous pages as more
as possible, and if we fail to alloc more pages, an ENOMEM error
will be reported upstream, even though we have alloced some pages
yet. In fact, we can use the available pages to do the job partly,
and continue the rest in the following circle. Only reporting ENOMEM
upstream if we really can not alloc any available page.

And another fix is ignoring dealing with the following pages if an
EIO occurs when reading page from page_list.

9cf3c3898a f2fs: fix dirty page accounting when redirty
We should de-account dirty counters for page when redirty in ->writepage().

Wu Fengguang described in 'commit 971767caf632190f77a40b4011c19948232eed75':
"writeback: fix dirtied pages accounting on redirty
De-account the accumulative dirty counters on page redirty.

Page redirties (very common in ext4) will introduce mismatch between
counters (a) and (b)

a) NR_DIRTIED, BDI_DIRTIED, tsk->nr_dirtied
b) NR_WRITTEN, BDI_WRITTEN

This will introduce systematic errors in balanced_rate and result in
dirty page position errors (ie. the dirty pages are no longer balanced
around the global/bdi setpoints)."

fb5566da91 f2fs: improve write performance under frequent fsync calls
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%.

a225dca394 f2fs: fix truncate_partial_nodes bug
The truncate_partial_nodes puts pages incorrectly in the following two cases.
Note that the value for argc 'depth' can only be 2 or 3.
Please see truncate_inode_blocks() and truncate_partial_nodes().

1) An err is occurred in the first 'for' loop
  When err is occurred with depth = 2, pages[0] is invalid, so this page doesn't
  need to be put. There is no problem, however, when depth is 3, it doesn't put
  the pages correctly where pages[0] is valid and pages[1] is invalid.
  In this case, depth is set to 2 (ref to statemnt depth = i + 1), and then
  'goto fail'.
  In label 'fail', for (i = depth - 3; i >= 0; i--) cannot meet the condition
  because i = -1, so pages[0] cann't be put.

2) An err happened in the second 'for' loop
  Now we've got pages[0] with depth = 2, or we've got pages[0] and pages[1]
  with depth = 3. When an err is detected, we need 'goto fail' to put such
  the pages.
  When depth is 2, in label 'fail', for (i = depth - 3; i >= 0; i--) cann't
  meet the condition because i = -1, so pages[0] cann't be put.
  When depth is 3, in label 'fail', for (i = depth - 3; i >= 0; i--) can
  only put pages[0], pages[1] also cann't be put.

Note that 'depth' has been changed before first 'goto fail' (ref to statemnt
depth = i + 1), so passing this modified 'depth' to the tracepoint,
trace_f2fs_truncate_partial_nodes, is also incorrect.

7bd59381c8 f2fs: introduce f2fs_kmem_cache_alloc to hide the unfailed, kmem cache allocation
Introduce the unfailed version of kmem_cache_alloc named f2fs_kmem_cache_alloc
to hide the retry routine and make the code a bit cleaner.

v2:
   Fix the wrong use of 'retry' tag pointed out by Gao feng.
   Use more neat code to remove redundant tag suggested by Haicheng Li.

87a9bd2656 f2fs: avoid to write during the recovery
This patch enhances the recovery routine not to write any data/node/meta until
its completion.
If any writes are sent to the disk, it could contaminate the written history
that will be used for further recovery.

423e95ccbe f2fs: merge more bios of node block writes
Previously, we experience bio traces as follows when running simple sequential
write test.

 f2fs_do_submit_bio: type = NODE, io = no sync, sector = 500104928, size = 4K
 f2fs_do_submit_bio: type = NODE, io = no sync, sector = 499922208, size = 368K
 f2fs_do_submit_bio: type = NODE, io = no sync, sector = 499914752, size = 140K

 -> total 512K

The first one is to write an indirect node block, and the others are to write
direct node blocks.

The reason why there are two separate bios for direct node blocks is:
0. initial state
------------------    ------------------
|                |    |xxxxxxxx        |
------------------    ------------------

1. write 368K
------------------    ------------------
|                |    |xxxxxxxxWWWWWWWW|
------------------    ------------------

2. write 140K
------------------    ------------------
|WWWWWWW         |    |xxxxxxxxWWWWWWWW|
------------------    ------------------

This is because f2fs_write_node_pages tries to write just 512K totally, so that
we can lose the chance to merge more bios nicely.

After this patch is applied, we can get the following bio traces.

  f2fs_do_submit_bio: type = NODE, io = no sync, sector = 500103168, size = 8K
  f2fs_do_submit_bio: type = NODE, io = no sync, sector = 500111368, size = 4K
  f2fs_do_submit_bio: type = NODE, io = no sync, sector = 500107272, size = 512K
  f2fs_do_submit_bio: type = NODE, io = no sync, sector = 500108296, size = 512K
  f2fs_do_submit_bio: type = NODE, io = no sync, sector = 500109320, size = 500K

And finally, we can improve the sequential write performance,
    from 458.775 MB/s to 479.945 MB/s on SSD.

65985d935d f2fs: support the inline xattrs
0. modified inode structure
--------------------------------------
metadata (e.g., i_mtime, i_ctime, etc)
--------------------------------------
direct pointers [0 ~ 873]

inline xattrs (200 bytes by default)

indirect pointers [0 ~ 4]
--------------------------------------
node footer
--------------------------------------

1. setxattr flow
 - read_all_xattrs copies all the xattrs from inline and xattr node block.
 - handle xattr entries
 - write_all_xattrs copies modified xattrs into inline and xattr node block.

2. getxattr flow
 - read_all_xattrs copies all the xattrs from inline and xattr node block.
 - check target entries

3. Usage
 # mount -t f2fs -o inline_xattr $DEV $MNT

 Once mounted with the inline_xattr option, f2fs marks all the newly created
 files to reserve an amount of inline xattr space explicitly inside the inode
 block. Without the mount option, f2fs will not touch any existing files and
 newly created files as well.
