c1b353f04a nilfs2: use GFP_NOIO for bio_alloc instead of GFP_NOWAIT
Alberto Bertogli advised me about bio_alloc() use in nilfs:

This takes in the comment and replaces the use of GFP_NOWAIT flag with
GFP_NOIO.

30bda0b8ae nilfs2: set bio unplug flag for the last bio in segment
This sets BIO_RW_UNPLUG flag on the last bio of each segment during
write.  The last bio should be unplugged immediately because the
caller waits for the completion after the submission.

071cb4b819 nilfs2: eliminate removal list of segments
This will clean up the removal list of segments and the related
functions from segment.c and ioctl.c, which have hurt code
readability.

This elimination is applied by using nilfs_sufile_updatev() previously
introduced in the patch ("nilfs2: add sufile function that can modify
multiple segment usages").

cece552074 nilfs2: simplify handling of active state of segments
will reduce some lines of segment constructor.  Previously, the state was
complexly controlled through a list of segments in order to keep
consistency in meta data of usage state of segments.  Instead, this
presents ``calculated'' active flags to userland cleaner program and stop
maintaining its real flag on disk.

Only by this fake flag, the cleaner cannot exactly know if each segment is
reclaimable or not.  However, the recent extension of nilfs_sustat ioctl
struct (nilfs2-extend-nilfs_sustat-ioctl-struct.patch) can prevent the
cleaner from reclaiming in-use segment wrongly.

So, now I can apply this for simplification.
