In this round, we've mainly focused on discard, aka unmap, control along with
fstrim for Android-specific usage model. In addition, we've fixed writepage flow
which returned EAGAIN previously resulting in EIO of fsync(2) due to mapping's
error state. In order to avoid old MM bug [1], we decided not to use __GFP_ZERO

As Ted reported:
"Hi, I was looking at f2fs's sources recently, and I noticed that there
is a very large number of non-static symbols which don't have a f2fs
prefix. There's well over a hundred (see attached below).
As one example, in fs/f2fs/dir.c there is:
unsigned char get_de_type(struct f2fs_dir_entry *de)
This function is clearly only useful for f2fs, but it has a generic
name. This means that if any other file system tries to have the same
symbol name, there will be a symbol conflict and the kernel would not
successfully build. It also means that when someone is looking f2fs
sources, it's not at all obvious whether a function such as
read_data_page(), invalidate_blocks(), is a generic kernel function
found in the fs, mm, or block layers, or a f2fs specific function.
You might want to fix this at some point. Hopefully Kent's bcachefs
isn't similarly using genericly named functions, since that might
cause conflicts with f2fs's functions --- but just as this would be a
problem that we would rightly insist that Kent fix, this is something
that we should have rightly insisted that f2fs should have fixed
before it was integrated into the mainline kernel.
acquire_orphan_inode
add_ino_entry
add_orphan_inode
allocate_data_block
allocate_new_segments
alloc_nid
alloc_nid_done
alloc_nid_failed
available_free_memory
...."
This patch adds "f2fs_" prefix for all non-static symbols in order to:
a) avoid conflict with other kernel generic symbols;
b) to indicate the function is f2fs specific one instead of generic
one;

This patch introduces a new feature, F2FS_FEATURE_LOST_FOUND, which
is set by mkfs. mkfs creates a directory named lost+found, which saves
unreachable files. If fsck finds a file which has no parent, or its
parent is removed by fsck, the file will be placed under lost+found
directory by fsck.
lost+found directory could not be encrypted. As a result, the root
directory cannot be encrypted too. So if LOST_FOUND feature is enabled,
let's avoid to encrypt root directory.

Now, in product, more and more features based on file encryption were
introduced, their demand of xattr space is increasing, however, inline
xattr has fixed-size of 200 bytes, once inline xattr space is full, new
increased xattr data would occupy additional xattr block which may bring
us more space usage and performance regression during persisting.
In order to resolve above issue, it's better to expand inline xattr size
flexibly according to user's requirement.
So this patch introduces new filesystem feature 'flexible inline xattr',
and new mount option 'inline_xattr_size=%u', once mkfs enables the
feature, we can use the option to make f2fs supporting flexible inline
xattr size.
To support this feature, we add extra attribute i_inline_xattr_size in
inode layout, indicating that how many space inline xattr borrows from
block address mapping space in inode layout, by this, we can easily
locate and store flexible-sized inline xattr data in inode.
Inode disk layout:
+----------------------+
| .i_mode |
| ... |
| .i_ext |
+----------------------+
| .i_extra_isize |
| .i_inline_xattr_size |-----------+
| ... | |
+----------------------+ |
| .i_addr | |
| - block address or | |
| - inline data | |
+----------------------+<---+ v
| inline xattr | +---inline xattr range
+----------------------+<---+
| .i_nid |
+----------------------+
| node_footer |
| (nid, ino, offset) |
+----------------------+
Note that, we have to cnosider backward compatibility which reserved
inline_data space, 200 bytes, all the time, reported by Sheng Yong.
Previous inline data or directory always reserved 200 bytes in inode layout,
even if inline_xattr is disabled. In order to keep inline_dentry's structure
for backward compatibility, we get the space back only from inline_data.

There are many different scenarios such as fstrim, umount, urgent or
background where we will issue discards, actually, they need use
different policy in aspect of io aware, discard granularity, delay
interval and so on. But now they just share one common discard policy,
so there will be race when changing policy in between these scenarios,
the interference of changing discard policy will be very serious.

Commit d618ebaf0a ("f2fs: enable small discard by default") enables
f2fs to issue 4K size discard in real-time discard mode. However, issuing
smaller discard may cost more lifetime but releasing less free space in
flash device. Since f2fs has ability of separating hot/cold data and
garbage collection, we can expect that small-sized invalid region would
expand soon with OPU, deletion or garbage collection on valid datas, so
it's better to delay or skip issuing smaller size discards, it could help
to reduce overmuch consumption of IO bandwidth and lifetime of flash
storage.
This patch makes f2fs selectng 64K size as its default minimal
granularity, and issue discard with the size which is not smaller than
minimal granularity. Also it exposes discard granularity as sysfs entry
for configuration in different scenario.
Jaegeuk Kim:
We must issue all the accumulated discard commands when fstrim is called.
So, I've added pend_list_tag[] to indicate whether we should issue the
commands or not. If tag sets P_ACTIVE or P_TRIM, we have to issue them.
P_TRIM is set once at a time, given fstrim trigger.
In addition, issue_discard_thread is calling too much due to the number of
discard commands remaining in the pending list. I added a timer to control
it likewise gc_thread.
