These two are confusing leftover of the old world order, combining
values of the REQ_OP_ and REQ_ namespaces. For callers that don't
special case we mostly just replace bi_rw with bio_data_dir or
op_is_write, except for the few cases where a switch over the REQ_OP_
values makes more sense. Any check for READA is replaced with an
explicit check for REQ_RAHEAD. Also remove the READA alias for
REQ_RAHEAD.

For foreground GC, we cache node blocks in victim section and set them
dirty, then we call sync_node_pages to flush these node pages, but
meanwhile, those node pages which does not locate in victim section
will be flushed together, so more bandwidth and continuous free space

So for this condition, it's better to leave those unrelated node page

For now, flow of GCing an encrypted data page:
1) try to grab meta page in meta inode's mapping with index of old block
address of that data page
2) load data of ciphertext into meta page
3) allocate new block address
4) write the meta page into new block address
5) update block address pointer in direct node page.
Other reader/writer will use f2fs_wait_on_encrypted_page_writeback to
check and wait on GCed encrypted data cached in meta page writebacked
in order to avoid inconsistence among data page cache, meta page cache
and data on-disk when updating.
However, we will use new block address updated in step 5) as an index to
lookup meta page in inner bio buffer. That would be wrong, and we will
never find the GCing meta page, since we use the old block address as
index of that page in step 1).
This patch fixes the issue by adjust the order of step 1) and step 3),
and in step 1) grab page with index generated in step 3).

variable nsearched in get_victim_by_default() indicates the number of
dirty segments we already checked. There are 2 problems about the way
it updates:
1. When p.ofs_unit is greater than 1, the victim we find consists
of multiple segments, possibly more than 1 dirty segment.
But nsearched always increases by 1.
2. If segments have been found but not been chosen, nsearched won't
increase. So even we have checked all dirty segments, nsearched
may still less than p.max_search.
All these problems could cause unnecessary search after all dirty
segments have already been checked.

If we configure section consist of multiple segments, foreground GC will
do the garbage collection with following approach:
for each segment in victim section
blk_start_plug
for each valid block in segment
write out by OPU method
submit bio cache <---
blk_finish_plug <---
There are two issue:
1) for most of the time, 'submit bio cache' will break the merging in
current bio buffer from writes of next segments, making a smaller bio
submitting.
2) block plug only cover IO submitting in one segment, which reduce
opportunity of merging IOs in plug with multiple segments.
So refactor the code as below structure to strive for biggest
opportunity of merging IOs:
blk_start_plug
for each segment in victim section
for each valid block in segment
write out by OPU method
submit bio cache
blk_finish_plug
Test method:
1. mkfs.f2fs -s 8 /dev/sdX
2. touch 32 files
3. write 2M data into each file
4. punch 1.5M data from offset 0 for each file
5. trigger foreground gc through ioctl
Before patch, there are totoally 40 bios submitted.
f2fs_submit_write_bio: dev = (8,32), WRITE_SYNC, DATA, sector = 65536, size = 122880
f2fs_submit_write_bio: dev = (8,32), WRITE_SYNC, DATA, sector = 65776, size = 122880
f2fs_submit_write_bio: dev = (8,32), WRITE_SYNC, DATA, sector = 66016, size = 122880
f2fs_submit_write_bio: dev = (8,32), WRITE_SYNC, DATA, sector = 66256, size = 122880
f2fs_submit_write_bio: dev = (8,32), WRITE_SYNC, DATA, sector = 66496, size = 32768
----repeat for 8 times
After patch, there are totally 35 bios submitted.

different competitors
Since we use different page cache (normally inode's page cache for R/W
and meta inode's page cache for GC) to cache the same physical block
which is belong to an encrypted inode. Writeback of these two page
cache should be exclusive, but now we didn't handle writeback state
well, so there may be potential racing problem:
a)
kworker: f2fs_gc:
- f2fs_write_data_pages
- f2fs_write_data_page
- do_write_data_page
- write_data_page
- f2fs_submit_page_mbio
(page#1 in inode's page cache was queued
in f2fs bio cache, and be ready to write
to new blkaddr)
- gc_data_segment
- move_encrypted_block
- pagecache_get_page
(page#2 in meta inode's page cache
was cached with the invalid datas
of physical block located in new
blkaddr)
- f2fs_submit_page_mbio
(page#1 was submitted, later, page#2
with invalid data will be submitted)
b)
f2fs_gc:
- gc_data_segment
- move_encrypted_block
- f2fs_submit_page_mbio
(page#1 in meta inode's page cache was
queued in f2fs bio cache, and be ready
to write to new blkaddr)
user thread:
- f2fs_write_begin
- f2fs_submit_page_bio
(we submit the request to block layer
to update page#2 in inode's page cache
with physical block located in new
blkaddr, so here we may read gabbage
data from new blkaddr since GC hasn't
writebacked the page#1 yet)

Now, we use ra_meta_pages to reads continuous physical blocks as much as
possible to improve performance of following reads. However, ra_meta_pages
uses a synchronous readahead approach by submitting bio with READ, as READ
is with high priority, it can not be used in the case of preloading blocks,
and it's not sure when these RAed pages will be used.
This patch supports asynchronous readahead in ra_meta_pages by tagging bio
with READA flag in order to allow preloading.

Besides, when a foreground gc is running on current selected section, once
