90b803e6fb f2fs: do not skip dentry block writes
Previously, we skip dentry block writes when wbc is SYNC_NONE with no memory
pressure and the number of dirty pages is pretty small.

But, we didn't skip for normal data writes, which gives us not much big impact
on overall performance.
Moreover, by skipping some data writes, kworker falls into infinite loop to try
to write blocks, when many dir inodes have only one dentry block.

So, this patch removes skipping data writes.

decd36b6c4 f2fs: remove inmem radix tree
Previously, we use radix tree to index all registered page entries for
atomic file, but now we only use radix tree to see whether current page
is indexed or not, since the other user of radix tree is gone in commit
042b7816aa ("f2fs: remove unnecessary call to invalidate inmemory pages").

So in this patch, we try to use one more efficient way:
Introducing a macro ATOMIC_WRITTEN_PAGE, and setting it as page private
value to indicate page indexing status. By using this way, we can save
memory and lookup time.

66114cad64 writeback: separate out include/linux/backing-dev-defs.h
With the planned cgroup writeback support, backing-dev related
declarations will be more widely used across block and cgroup;
unfortunately, including backing-dev.h from include/linux/blkdev.h
makes cyclic include dependency quite likely.

This patch separates out backing-dev-defs.h which only has the
essential definitions and updates blkdev.h to include it.  c files
which need access to more backing-dev details now include
backing-dev.h directly.  This takes backing-dev.h off the common
include dependency chain making it a lot easier to use it across block
and cgroup.

v2: fs/fat build failure fixed.

a88a341a73 writeback: move bandwidth related fields from backing_dev_info into bdi_writeback
Currently, a bdi (backing_dev_info) embeds single wb (bdi_writeback)
and the role of the separation is unclear.  For cgroup support for
writeback IOs, a bdi will be updated to host multiple wb's where each
wb serves writeback IOs of a different cgroup on the bdi.  To achieve
that, a wb should carry all states necessary for servicing writeback
IOs for a cgroup independently.

This patch moves bandwidth related fields from backing_dev_info into
bdi_writeback.

* The moved fields are: bw_time_stamp, dirtied_stamp, written_stamp,
  write_bandwidth, avg_write_bandwidth, dirty_ratelimit,
  balanced_dirty_ratelimit, completions and dirty_exceeded.

* writeback_chunk_size() and over_bground_thresh() now take @wb
  instead of @bdi.

* bdi_writeout_fraction(bdi, ...)	-> wb_writeout_fraction(wb, ...)
  bdi_dirty_limit(bdi, ...)		-> wb_dirty_limit(wb, ...)
  bdi_position_ration(bdi, ...)		-> wb_position_ratio(wb, ...)
  bdi_update_writebandwidth(bdi, ...)	-> wb_update_write_bandwidth(wb, ...)
  [__]bdi_update_bandwidth(bdi, ...)	-> [__]wb_update_bandwidth(wb, ...)
  bdi_{max|min}_pause(bdi, ...)		-> wb_{max|min}_pause(wb, ...)
  bdi_dirty_limits(bdi, ...)		-> wb_dirty_limits(wb, ...)

* Init/exits of the relocated fields are moved to bdi_wb_init/exit()
  respectively.  Note that explicit zeroing is dropped in the process
  as wb's are cleared in entirety anyway.

* As there's still only one bdi_writeback per backing_dev_info, all
  uses of bdi->stat[] are mechanically replaced with bdi->wb.stat[]
  introducing no behavior changes.

v2: Typo in description fixed as suggested by Jan.

1a118ccfd6 f2fs: use spinlock for segmap_lock instead of rwlock
rwlock can provide better concurrency when there are much more readers than
writers because readers can hold the rwlock simultaneously.

But now, for segmap_lock rwlock in struct free_segmap_info, there is only one
reader 'mount' from below call path:
->f2fs_fill_super
  ->build_segment_manager
    ->build_dirty_segmap
      ->init_dirty_segmap
        ->find_next_inuse
          read_lock
          ...
          read_unlock

Now that our concurrency can not be improved since there is no other reader for
this lock, we do not need to use rwlock_t type for segmap_lock, let's replace it
with spinlock_t type.

caf0047e7e f2fs: merge flags in struct f2fs_sb_info
Currently, there are several variables with Boolean type as below:

struct f2fs_sb_info {
...
	int s_dirty;
	bool need_fsck;
	bool s_closing;
...
	bool por_doing;
...
}

For this there are some issues:
1. there are some space of f2fs_sb_info is wasted due to aligning after Boolean
   type variables by compiler.
2. if we continuously add new flag into f2fs_sb_info, structure will be messed
   up.

So in this patch, we try to:
1. switch s_dirty to Boolean type variable since it has two status 0/1.
2. merge s_dirty/need_fsck/s_closing/por_doing variables into s_flag.
3. introduce an enum type which can indicate different states of sbi.
4. use new introduced universal interfaces is_sbi_flag_set/{set,clear}_sbi_flag
   to operate flags for sbi.

After that, above issues will be fixed.

88b88a6679 f2fs: support atomic writes
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

95dd897301 f2fs: use more free segments until SSR is activated

In this case, SSR starts to use dirty segments only, so that the overprovisoned

not be mounted successfully as mismatch between sector size of zRAM and sector

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

This may be used by storage showing very high random write performance.

For example, it can be used when,

184a5cd2ce f2fs: refactor flush_sit_entries codes for reducing SIT writes
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.

virtual machine + hard disk:
fsstress -p 20 -n 400 -l 5

Our latency of merging op is small when handling a great number of dirty SIT
entries in flush_sit_entries:

216fbd6443 f2fs: introduce sysfs entry to control in-place-update policy
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.

For more details, see need_inplace_update() in segment.h.

cfb271d485 f2fs: add unlikely() macro for compiler optimization
As we know, some of our branch condition will rarely be true. So we could add
'unlikely' to let compiler optimize these code, by this way we could drop
unneeded 'jump' assemble code to improve performance.

change log:
 o add *unlikely* as many as possible across the whole source files at once

187b5b8b3d f2fs: remove the own bi_private allocation
Previously f2fs allocates its own bi_private data structure all the time even
though we don't use it. But, can we remove this bi_private allocation?

This patch removes such the additional bi_private allocation.

1. Retrieve f2fs_sb_info from its page->mapping->host->i_sb.
 - This removes the usecases of bi_private in end_io.

2. Use bi_private only when we really need it.
 - The bi_private is used only when the checkpoint procedure is conducted.
 - When conducting the checkpoint, f2fs submits a META_FLUSH bio to wait its bio
completion.
 - Since we have no dependancies to remove bi_private now, let's just use
 bi_private pointer as the completion pointer.

74de593af7 f2fs: read contiguous sit entry pages by merging for mount performance
Previously we read sit entries page one by one, this method lost the chance
of reading contiguous page together. So we read pages as contiguous as
possible for better mount performance.

change log:
 o merge judgements/use 'Continue' or 'Break' instead of 'Goto' as Gu Zheng
   suggested.
 o add mark_page_accessed() before release page to delay VM reclaiming.
 o remove '*order' for simplification of function as Jaegeuk Kim suggested.

 o use neat logogram in comment as Gu Zheng suggested.

81eb8d6e28 f2fs: reclaim prefree segments periodically
Previously, f2fs postpones reclaiming prefree segments into free segments
as much as possible.
However, if user writes and deletes a bunch of data without any sync or fsync
calls, some flash storages can suffer from garbage collections.

So, this patch adds the reclaiming codes to f2fs_write_node_pages and background
GC thread.

If there are a lot of prefree segments, let's do checkpoint so that f2fs
submits discard commands for the prefree regions to the flash storage.

a26b7c8a01 f2fs: optimize gc for better performance
This patch improves the gc efficiency by optimizing the victim
selection policy. With this optimization, the random re-write
performance could increase up to 20%.

For f2fs, when disk is in shortage of free spaces, gc will selects
dirty segments and moves valid blocks around for making more space
available. The gc cost of a segment is determined by the valid blocks
in the segment. The less the valid blocks, the higher the efficiency.
The ideal victim segment is the one that has the most garbage blocks.

Currently, it searches up to 20 dirty segments for a victim segment.
The selected victim is not likely the best victim for gc when there
are much more dirty segments. Why not searching more dirty segments
for a better victim? The cost of searching dirty segments is
negligible in comparison to moving blocks.

In this patch, it enlarges the MAX_VICTIM_SEARCH to 4096 to make
the search more aggressively for a possible better victim. Since
it also applies to victim selection for SSR, it will likely improve
the SSR efficiency as well.

The test case is simple. It creates as many files until the disk full.
The size for each file is 32KB. Then it writes as many as 100000
records of 4KB size to random offsets of random files in sync mode.
The testing was done on a 2GB partition of a SDHC card. Let's see the
test result of f2fs without and with the patch.

---------------------------------------
2GB partition, SDHC
create 52023 files of size 32768 bytes
random re-write 100000 records of 4KB
---------------------------------------
| file creation (s) | rewrite time (s) | gc count | gc garbage blocks |
[no patch]  341         4227             1174          174840
[patched]   324         2958             645           106682

It's obvious that, with the patch, f2fs finishes the test in 20+% less
time than without the patch. And internally it does much less gc with
higher efficiency than before.

Since the performance improvement is related to gc, it might not be so
obvious for other tests that do not trigger gc as often as this one (
This is because f2fs selects dirty segments for SSR use most of the
time when free space is in shortage). The well-known iozone test tool
was not used for benchmarking the patch becuase it seems do not have
a test case that performs random re-write on a full disk.

This patch is the revised version based on the suggestion from
Jaegeuk Kim.
