While an orphan inode has zero link_count, f2fs_gc is able to select the inode
for foreground gc.
- f2fs_gc
- do_garbage_collect
- gc_data_segment
: f2fs_iget is failed
: get_valid_blocks() != 0, so that retry
--> here we got the infinite loop.

Add tracepoints in f2fs for tracing the syncing
operations like filesystem sync, file sync enter/exit.
It will helf to trace the code under debugging scenarios.
Also add tracepoints for tracing the various inode operations
like building inode, eviction of inode, link/unlike of
inodes.

[Jaegeuk: combine and modify the tracepoint structures]
Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk.kim@samsung.com>
In the previous version, f2fs uses global locks according to the usage types,
such as directory operations, block allocation, block write, and so on.
Reference the following lock types in f2fs.h.
enum lock_type {
RENAME, /* for renaming operations */
DENTRY_OPS, /* for directory operations */
DATA_WRITE, /* for data write */
DATA_NEW, /* for data allocation */
DATA_TRUNC, /* for data truncate */
NODE_NEW, /* for node allocation */
NODE_TRUNC, /* for node truncate */
NODE_WRITE, /* for node write */
NR_LOCK_TYPE,
};
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 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.

In function check_nid_range, there is no need to trigger BUG_ON and make kernel stop.
Instead it could just check and indicate the inode number to be EINVAL.
Update the return path in do_read_inode to use the return from check_nid_range.

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 supports ioctl FIFREEZE and FITHAW to snapshot filesystem.
Before calling f2fs_freeze, all writers would be suspended and sync_fs
would be completed. So no f2fs has to do something.
Just background gc operation should be skipped due to generate dirty
nodes and data until unfreeze.

In this report, f2fs lost the major/minor numbers of device files after umount.
The reason was revealed that f2fs does not store the inode->i_rdev to the
on-disk inode data structure.
So, as the other file systems do, f2fs also stores i_rdev into the i_addr fields
in on-disk inode structure without any on-disk layout changes.
Note that, this bug is limited to device files made by mknod().

The f2fs_balance_fs() is to check the number of free sections and decide whether
it needs to conduct cleaning or not. If there are not enough free sections, the
cleaning job should be started.
In order to control an amount of free sections even under high utilization, f2fs
should call f2fs_balance_fs at all the VFS interfaces that are able to produce
dirty pages.
This patch adds the function calls in the missing interfaces as follows.
1. f2fs_setxattr()
The f2fs_setxattr() produces dirty node pages so that we should call
f2fs_balance_fs() either likewise doing in other VFS interfaces such as
f2fs_lookup(), f2fs_mkdir(), and so on.
2. f2fs_sync_file()
We should guarantee serving free sections for syncing metadata during fsync.
Previously, there is no space check before triggering checkpoint and
sync_node_pages.
Therefore, if a bunch of fsync calls are triggered under 100% of FS utilization,
f2fs is able to be faced with no free sections, resulting in BUG_ON().
3. f2fs_sync_fs()
Before calling write_checkpoint(), we should guarantee that there are minimum
free sections.
4. f2fs_write_inode()
f2fs_write_inode() is also able to produce dirty node pages.

Ruslan reported that f2fs hangs with an infinite loop in f2fs_sync_file():
while (sync_node_pages(sbi, inode->i_ino, &wbc) == 0)
f2fs_write_inode(inode, NULL);
The reason was revealed that the cold flag is not set even thought this inode is
a normal file. Therefore, sync_node_pages() skips to write node blocks since it
only writes cold node blocks.
The cold flag is stored to the node_footer in node block, and whenever a new
node page is allocated, it is set according to its file type, file or directory.
But, after sudden-power-off, when recovering the inode page, f2fs doesn't recover
its cold flag.
So, let's assign the cold flag in more right places.
One more thing:
If f2fs_write_inode() returns an error due to whatever situations, there would
be no dirty node pages so that sync_node_pages() returns zero.
(i.e., zero means nothing was written.)

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().
