Like most filesystems, f2fs will issue discard command synchronously, so
when user trigger fstrim through ioctl, multiple discard commands will be
issued serially with sync mode, which makes poor performance.
In this patch we try to support async discard, so that all discard
commands can be issued and be waited for endio in batch to improve
performance.

In batch discard approach of fstrim will grab/release gc_mutex lock
repeatly, it makes contention of the lock becoming more intensive.
So after one batch discards were issued in checkpoint and the lock
was released, it's better to do schedule() to increase opportunity
of grabbing gc_mutex lock for other competitors.

When building each sit entry in cache, firstly, we will load it from
sit page, and then check all entries in sit journal, if there is one
updated entry in journal, cover cached entry with the journaled one.
Actually, most of check operation is unneeded since we only need
to update cached entries with journaled entries in batch, so
changing the flow as below for more efficient:
1. load all sit entries into cache from sit pages;
2. update sit entries with journal.

The atomic/volatile operation should be done in pair of start and commit

For example, if a killed process remains open-ended atomic operation, we should
drop its flag as well as its atomic data. Otherwise, if sqlite initiates another
operation which doesn't require atomic writes, it will lose every data, since
f2fs still treats with them as atomic writes; nobody will trigger its commit.

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.
This promise never materialized. And unlikely will.
We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.
Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.
Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are
not.
The changes are pretty straight-forward:
- <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};
- page_cache_get() -> get_page();
- page_cache_release() -> put_page();
This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.
The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.
There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

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).

In curseg cache, f2fs caches two different parts:
- datas of current summay block, i.e. summary entries, footer info.
- journal info, i.e. sparse nat/sit entries or io stat info.
With this approach, 1) it may cause higher lock contention when we access
or update both of the parts of cache since we use the same mutex lock
curseg_mutex to protect the cache. 2) current summary block with last
journal info will be writebacked into device as a normal summary block
when flushing, however, we treat journal info as valid one only in current
summary, so most normal summary blocks contain junk journal data, it wastes
remaining space of summary block.
So, in order to fix above issues, we split curseg cache into two parts:
a) current summary block, protected by original mutex lock curseg_mutex
b) journal cache, protected by newly introduced r/w semaphore journal_rwsem
When loading curseg cache during ->mount, we store summary info and
journal info into different caches; When doing checkpoint, we combine
datas of two cache into current summary block for persisting.

f2fs support atomic write with following semantics:
1. open db file
2. ioctl start atomic write
3. (write db file) * n
4. ioctl commit atomic write
5. close db file
With this flow we can avoid file becoming corrupted when abnormal power
cut, because we hold data of transaction in referenced pages linked in
inmem_pages list of inode, but without setting them dirty, so these data
won't be persisted unless we commit them in step 4.
But we should still hold journal db file in memory by using volatile
write, because our semantics of 'atomic write support' is incomplete, in
step 4, we could fail to submit all dirty data of transaction, once
partial dirty data was committed in storage, then after a checkpoint &
abnormal power-cut, db file will be corrupted forever.
So this patch tries to improve atomic write flow by adding a revoking flow,
once inner error occurs in committing, this gives another chance to try to
revoke these partial submitted data of current transaction, it makes
committing operation more like aotmical one.
If we're not lucky, once revoking operation was failed, EAGAIN will be
reported to user for suggesting doing the recovery with held journal file,
or retrying current transaction again.

f2fs use single bio buffer per type data (META/NODE/DATA) for caching
writes locating in continuous block address as many as possible, after
submitting, these writes may be still cached in bio buffer, so we have
to flush cached writes in bio buffer by calling f2fs_submit_merged_bio.
Unfortunately, in the scenario of high concurrency, bio buffer could be
flushed by someone else before we submit it as below reasons:
a) there is no space in bio buffer.
b) add a request of different type (SYNC, ASYNC).
c) add a discontinuous block address.
For this condition, f2fs_submit_merged_bio will be devastating, because
it could break the following merging of writes in bio buffer, split one
big bio into two smaller one.
This patch introduces f2fs_submit_merged_bio_cond which can do a
conditional submitting with bio buffer, before submitting it will judge
whether:
- page in DATA type bio buffer is matching with specified page;
- page in DATA type bio buffer is belong to specified inode;
- page in NODE type bio buffer is belong to specified inode;
If there is no eligible page in bio buffer, we will skip submitting step,
result in gaining more chance to merge consecutive block IOs in bio cache.

When testing f2fs with xfstest, generic/251 is stuck for long time,
the case uses below serials to obtain fresh released space in device,
in order to prepare for following fstrim test.
1. rm -rf /mnt/dir
2. mkdir /mnt/dir/
3. cp -axT `pwd`/ /mnt/dir/
4. goto 1
During preparing step, all nat entries will be cached in nat cache,
most of them are dirty entries with invalid blkaddr, which means
nodes related to these entries have been truncated, and they could
be reused after the dirty entries been checkpointed.
However, there was no checkpoint been triggered, so nid allocators
(e.g. mkdir, creat) will run into long journey of iterating all NAT
pages, looking for free nids in alloc_nid->build_free_nids.
Here, in f2fs_balance_fs_bg we give another chance to do checkpoint
to flush nat entries for reusing them in free nid cache when dirty
entry count exceeds 10% of max count.

Previously, when finishing a checkpoint, we have persisted all fs meta
info including meta inode, node inode, dentry page of directory inode, so,
after a sudden power cut, f2fs can recover from last checkpoint with full
directory structure.
But during checkpoint, we didn't flush dirty pages of regular and symlink
inode, so such dirty datas still in memory will be lost in that moment of
power off.
In order to reduce the chance of lost data, this patch enables
f2fs_balance_fs_bg with the ability of data flushing. It will try to flush
user data before starting a checkpoint. So user's data written after last
checkpoint which may not be fsynced could be saved.
When we mount with data_flush option, after every period of cp_interval
(could be configured in sysfs: /sys/fs/f2fs/device/cp_interval) seconds
user data could be flushed into device once f2fs_balance_fs_bg was called
in kworker thread or gc thread.
