The f2fs has three bio types, NODE, DATA, and META, and manages some data
structures per each bio types.
The codes are a little bit messy, thus, this patch introduces a bio array
which groups individual data structures as follows.
struct f2fs_bio_info {
struct bio *bio; /* bios to merge */
sector_t last_block_in_bio; /* last block number */
struct mutex io_mutex; /* mutex for bio */
};
struct f2fs_sb_info {
...
struct f2fs_bio_info write_io[NR_PAGE_TYPE]; /* for write bios */
...
};
The code changes from this new data structure are trivial.

The f2fs manages an extent cache to search a number of consecutive data blocks
very quickly.
However it conducts unnecessary cache operations if the file is highly
fragmented with no valid extent cache.
In such the case, we don't need to handle the extent cache, but just can disable
the cache facility.
Nevertheless, this patch gives one more chance to enable the extent cache.
For example,
1. create a file
2. write data sequentially which produces a large valid extent cache
3. update some data, resulting in a fragmented extent
4. if the fragmented extent is too small, then drop extent cache
5. close the file
6. open the file again
7. give another chance to make a new extent cache
8. write data sequentially again which creates another big extent cache.

This patch removes an unnecessary semaphore (i.e., sbi->bio_sem).
There is no reason to use the semaphore when f2fs submits read and write IOs.

o split write_mutex suggested by Chao Yu

Previously, do_checkpoint() will call congestion_wait() for waiting the pages
(previous submitted node/meta/data pages) to be written back.
Because congestion_wait() will set a regular period (e.g. HZ / 50 ) for waiting, and
no additional wake up mechanism was introduced if IO ends up before regular period costed.
Yuan Zhong found there is a situation that after the pages have been written back,
but the checkpoint thread still wait for congestion_wait to exit.
So here we store checkpoint task into f2fs_sb when doing checkpoint, it'll wait for IO completes
if there's IO going on, and in the end IO path, wake up checkpoint task when IO ends up.

This patch removes the logic previously introduced to address the starvation

The fs_locks is used to block other ops(ex, recovery) when doing checkpoint.
And each other operate routine(besides checkpoint) needs to acquire a fs_lock,
there is a terrible problem here, if these are too many concurrency threads acquiring
fs_lock, so that they will block each other and may lead to some performance problem,
but this is not the phenomenon we want to see.
Though there are some optimization patches introduced to enhance the usage of fs_lock,
but the thorough solution is using a *rw_sem* to replace the fs_lock.
Checkpoint routine takes write_sem, and other ops take read_sem, so that we can block
other ops(ex, recovery) when doing checkpoint, and other ops will not disturb each other,
this can avoid the problem described above completely.
Because of the weakness of rw_sem, the above change may introduce a potential problem
that the checkpoint thread might get starved if other threads are intensively locking
the read semaphore for I/O.(Pointed out by Xu Jin)
In order to avoid this, a wait_list is introduced, the appending read semaphore ops
will be dropped into the wait_list if checkpoint thread is waiting for write semaphore,
and will be waked up when checkpoint thread gives up write semaphore.
Thanks to Kim's previous review and test, and will be very glad to see other guys'
performance tests about this patch.

-fix the potential starvation problem.
-use more suitable func name suggested by Xu Jin.

Previously xattr node blocks are stored to the COLD_NODE log, which means that
our roll-forward mechanism doesn't recover the xattr node blocks at all.
Only the direct node blocks in the WARM_NODE log can be recovered.
So, let's resolve the issue simply by conducting checkpoint during fsync when a
file has a modified xattr node block.
This approach is able to degrade the performance, but normally the checkpoint
overhead is shown at the initial fsync call after the xattr entry changes.
Once the checkpoint is done, no additional overhead would be occurred.

This patch fixes a deadlock bug that occurs quite often when there are
concurrent write and fsync on a same file.
Following is the simplified call trace when tasks get hung.
fsync thread:
- f2fs_sync_file
...
- f2fs_write_data_pages
...
- update_extent_cache
...
- update_inode
- wait_on_page_writeback
bdi writeback thread
- __writeback_single_inode
- f2fs_write_data_pages
- mutex_lock(sbi->writepages)
The deadlock happens when the fsync thread waits on a inode page that has
been added to the f2fs' cached bio sbi->bio[NODE], and unfortunately,
no one else could be able to submit the cached bio to block layer for
writeback. This is because the fsync thread already hold a sbi->fs_lock and
the sbi->writepages lock, causing the bdi thread being blocked when attempt
to write data pages for the same inode. At the same time, f2fs_gc thread
does not notice the situation and could not help. Even the sync syscall
gets blocked.
To fix it, we could submit the cached bio first before waiting on a inode page
that is being written back.

- filemap_flush(dentry_blocks)

[Bug Scenario]
1. create a file
2. fsync the file

4. try to recover the file
- found its fsync mark
- found its dentry mark
: try to recover its dentry
- get its file name
- get its parent inode number
: here we got zero value
The reason why we get the wrong parent inode number is that we didn't
synchronize the inode page with its newly created inode information perfectly.
Especially, previous f2fs stores fi->i_pino and writes it to the cached
node page in a wrong order, which incurs the zero-valued i_pino during the
recovery.

But, during the recovery routine, it is unallowed due to consistency, so we
have to wait the whole recovery process.

can put the stale dir inodes from the dirty_dir_inode_list.

In that case, we lose the performance under the multi-threading environment,
since every types of operations must be conducted one at a time.
In order to address the problem, let's share the locks globally with a mutex
array regardless of any types.
So, let users grab a mutex and perform their jobs in parallel as much as
possbile.
For this, I propose a new global lock scheme as follows.
0. Data structure
- f2fs_sb_info -> mutex_lock[NR_GLOBAL_LOCKS]
- f2fs_sb_info -> node_write
1. mutex_lock_op(sbi)
- try to get an avaiable lock from the array.
- returns the index of the gottern lock variable.
2. mutex_unlock_op(sbi, index of the lock)
- unlock the given index of the lock.
3. mutex_lock_all(sbi)
- grab all the locks in the array before the checkpoint.
4. mutex_unlock_all(sbi)
- release all the locks in the array after checkpoint.
5. block_operations()
- call mutex_lock_all()
- sync_dirty_dir_inodes()
- grab node_write
- sync_node_pages()
Note that,
the pairs of mutex_lock_op()/mutex_unlock_op() and
mutex_lock_all()/mutex_unlock_all() should be used together.

This patch removes a bitmap for victim segments selected by foreground GC, and
modifies the other bitmap for victim segments selected by background GC.
1) foreground GC bitmap
: We don't need to manage this, since we just only one previous victim section
number instead of the whole victim history.
The f2fs uses the victim section number in order not to allocate currently
GC'ed section to current active logs.
2) background GC bitmap
: This bitmap is used to avoid selecting victims repeatedly by background GCs.
In addition, the victims are able to be selected by foreground GCs, since
there is no need to read victim blocks during foreground GCs.
By the fact that the foreground GC reclaims segments in a section unit, it'd
be better to manage this bitmap based on the section granularity.

When we recover fsync'ed data after power-off-recovery, we should guarantee
that any parent inode number should be correct for each direct inode blocks.
So, let's make the following rules.
- The fsync should do checkpoint to all the inodes that were experienced hard
links.
- So, the only normal files can be recovered by roll-forward.

This patch removes data_version check flow during the fsync call.
The original purpose for the use of data_version was to avoid writng inode
pages redundantly by the fsync calls repeatedly.
However, when user can modify file meta and then call fsync, we should not
skip fsync procedure.
So, let's remove this condition check and hope that user triggers in right
manner.

Previously, f2fs reads several node pages ahead when get_dnode_of_data is called
with RDONLY_NODE flag.
And, this flag is set by the following functions.
- get_data_block_ro
- get_lock_data_page
- do_write_data_page
- truncate_blocks
- truncate_hole
However, this readahead mechanism is initially introduced for the use of
get_data_block_ro to enhance the sequential read performance.
So, let's clarify all the cases with the additional modes as follows.
enum {
ALLOC_NODE, /* allocate a new node page if needed */
LOOKUP_NODE, /* look up a node without readahead */
LOOKUP_NODE_RA, /*
* look up a node with readahead called
* by get_datablock_ro.

This patch makes clearer the ambiguous f2fs_gc flow as follows.
1. Remove intermediate checkpoint condition during f2fs_gc
(i.e., should_do_checkpoint() and GC_BLOCKED)
2. Remove unnecessary return values of f2fs_gc because of #1.
(i.e., GC_NODE, GC_OK, etc)
3. Simplify write_checkpoint() because of #2.
4. Clarify the main f2fs_gc flow.
o monitor how many freed sections during one iteration of do_garbage_collect().
o do GC more without checkpoints if we can't get enough free sections.
o do checkpoint once we've got enough free sections through forground GCs.

1. Background
Previously, if f2fs tries to move data blocks of an *evicting* inode during the
cleaning process, it stops the process incompletely and then restarts the whole
process, since it needs a locked inode to grab victim data pages in its address
space. In order to get a locked inode, iget_locked() by f2fs_iget() is normally
used, but, it waits if the inode is on freeing.
So, here is a deadlock scenario.
1. f2fs_evict_inode() <- inode "A"
2. f2fs_balance_fs()
3. f2fs_gc()
4. gc_data_segment()
5. f2fs_iget() <- inode "A" too!
If step #1 and #5 treat a same inode "A", step #5 would fall into deadlock since
the inode "A" is on freeing. In order to resolve this, f2fs_iget_nowait() which
skips __wait_on_freeing_inode() was introduced in step #5, and stops f2fs_gc()
to complete f2fs_evict_inode().
1. f2fs_evict_inode() <- inode "A"
2. f2fs_balance_fs()
3. f2fs_gc()
4. gc_data_segment()
5. f2fs_iget_nowait() <- inode "A", then stop f2fs_gc() w/ -ENOENT
2. Problem and Solution
In the above scenario, however, f2fs cannot finish f2fs_evict_inode() only if:
o there are not enough free sections, and
o f2fs_gc() tries to move data blocks of the *evicting* inode repeatedly.
So, the final solution is to use f2fs_iget() and remove f2fs_balance_fs() in
f2fs_evict_inode().
The f2fs_evict_inode() actually truncates all the data and node blocks, which
means that it doesn't produce any dirty node pages accordingly.
So, we don't need to do f2fs_balance_fs() in practical.

This patch enhances the checkpoint routine to cope with IO errors.
Basically f2fs detects IO errors from end_io_write, and the errors are able to
be occurred during one of data, node, and meta page writes.
In the previous code, when an IO error is occurred during writes, f2fs sets a
flag, CP_ERROR_FLAG, in the raw ckeckpoint buffer which will be written to disk.
Afterwards, write_checkpoint() will check the flag and remount f2fs as a
read-only (ro) mode.
However, even once f2fs is remounted as a ro mode, dirty checkpoint pages are
freely able to be written to disk by flusher or kswapd in background.
In such a case, after cold reboot, f2fs would restore the checkpoint data having
CP_ERROR_FLAG, resulting in disabling write_checkpoint and remounting f2fs as
a ro mode again.
Therefore, let's prevent any checkpoint page (meta) writes once an IO error is
occurred, and remount f2fs as a ro mode right away at that moment.

Previously, f2fs didn't track the parent inode number correctly which is stored
in each f2fs_inode. In the case of the following scenario, a bug can be occured.
Let's suppose there are one directory, "/b", and two files, "/a" and "/b/a".
- pino of "/a" is ROOT_INO.
- pino of "/b/a" is DIR_B_INO.
Then,
# sync
: The inode pages of "/a" and "/b/a" contain the parent inode numbers as
ROOT_INO and DIR_B_INO respectively.
# mv /a /b/a
: The parent inode number of "/a" should be changed to DIR_B_INO, but f2fs
didn't do that. Ref. f2fs_set_link().
In order to fix this clearly, I added i_pino in f2fs_inode_info, and whenever
it needs to be changed like in f2fs_add_link() and f2fs_set_link(), it is
updated temporarily in f2fs_inode_info.
And later, f2fs_write_inode() stores the latest information to the inode pages.
For power-off-recovery, f2fs_sync_file() triggers simply f2fs_write_inode().
