aops->write_begin may allocate a new page and make it visible only to have
mark_page_accessed called almost immediately after. Once the page is
visible the atomic operations are necessary which is noticable overhead
when writing to an in-memory filesystem like tmpfs but should also be
noticable with fast storage. The objective of the patch is to initialse
the accessed information with non-atomic operations before the page is
visible.
The bulk of filesystems directly or indirectly use
grab_cache_page_write_begin or find_or_create_page for the initial
allocation of a page cache page. This patch adds an init_page_accessed()
helper which behaves like the first call to mark_page_accessed() but may
called before the page is visible and can be done non-atomically.
The primary APIs of concern in this care are the following and are used
by most filesystems.
find_get_page
find_lock_page
find_or_create_page
grab_cache_page_nowait
grab_cache_page_write_begin
All of them are very similar in detail to the patch creates a core helper
pagecache_get_page() which takes a flags parameter that affects its
behavior such as whether the page should be marked accessed or not. Then
old API is preserved but is basically a thin wrapper around this core
function.
Each of the filesystems are then updated to avoid calling
mark_page_accessed when it is known that the VM interfaces have already
done the job. There is a slight snag in that the timing of the
mark_page_accessed() has now changed so in rare cases it's possible a page
gets to the end of the LRU as PageReferenced where as previously it might
have been repromoted. This is expected to be rare but it's worth the
filesystem people thinking about it in case they see a problem with the
timing change. It is also the case that some filesystems may be marking
pages accessed that previously did not but it makes sense that filesystems
have consistent behaviour in this regard.
The test case used to evaulate this is a simple dd of a large file done
multiple times with the file deleted on each iterations. The size of the
file is 1/10th physical memory to avoid dirty page balancing. In the
async case it will be possible that the workload completes without even
hitting the disk and will have variable results but highlight the impact
of mark_page_accessed for async IO. The sync results are expected to be
more stable. The exception is tmpfs where the normal case is for the "IO"
to not hit the disk.
The test machine was single socket and UMA to avoid any scheduling or NUMA
artifacts. Throughput and wall times are presented for sync IO, only wall
times are shown for async as the granularity reported by dd and the
variability is unsuitable for comparison. As async results were variable
do to writback timings, I'm only reporting the maximum figures. The sync
results were stable enough to make the mean and stddev uninteresting.
The performance results are reported based on a run with no profiling.
Profile data is based on a separate run with oprofile running.

So, this patch adds FI_NEED_FSYNC to track whether the latest node block is

Otherwise, we should do a new node block with the mark for roll-forward

The NM_WOUT_THRESHOLD is now obsolete since f2fs starts to control on a basis
of the memory footprint.
Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk.kim@samsung.com>
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.

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%.

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.

This patch introduces F2FS_INODE that returns struct f2fs_inode * from the inode
page.
By using this macro, we can remove unnecessary casting codes like below.
struct f2fs_inode *ri = &F2FS_NODE(inode_page)->i;
-> struct f2fs_inode *ri = F2FS_INODE(inode_page);

Update several comments:
1. use f2fs_{un}lock_op install of mutex_{un}lock_op.
2. update comment of get_data_block().
3. update description of node offset.

When using the f2fs_io_info in the low level, we still need to merge the
rw and rw_flag, so use the rw to hold all the io flags directly,
and remove the rw_flag field.
ps.It is based on the previous patch:

This patch introduces f2fs_io_info to mitigate the complex parameter list.
struct f2fs_io_info {
enum page_type type; /* contains DATA/NODE/META/META_FLUSH */
int rw; /* contains R/RS/W/WS */
int rw_flag; /* contains REQ_META/REQ_PRIO */
}
1. f2fs_write_data_pages
- DATA
- WRITE_SYNC is set when wbc->WB_SYNC_ALL.
2. sync_node_pages
- NODE
- WRITE_SYNC all the time
3. sync_meta_pages
- META
- WRITE_SYNC all the time
- REQ_META | REQ_PRIO all the time
** f2fs_submit_merged_bio() handles META_FLUSH.
4. ra_nat_pages, ra_sit_pages, ra_sum_pages
- META
- READ_SYNC

This patch adds unlikely() macro into the most of codes.
The basic rule is to add that when:
- checking unusual errors,
- checking page mappings,
- and the other unlikely conditions.
Change log from v1:
- Don't add unlikely for the NULL test and error test: advised by Andi Kleen.

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
suggested by Jaegeuk Kim.
