The f2fs has three bio types, NODE, DATA, and META, and manages some data
structures per each bio types.
The codes are a little bit messy, thus, this patch introduces a bio array
which groups individual data structures as follows.
struct f2fs_bio_info {
struct bio *bio; /* bios to merge */
sector_t last_block_in_bio; /* last block number */
struct mutex io_mutex; /* mutex for bio */
};
struct f2fs_sb_info {
...
struct f2fs_bio_info write_io[NR_PAGE_TYPE]; /* for write bios */
...
};
The code changes from this new data structure are trivial.

The f2fs manages an extent cache to search a number of consecutive data blocks
very quickly.
However it conducts unnecessary cache operations if the file is highly
fragmented with no valid extent cache.
In such the case, we don't need to handle the extent cache, but just can disable
the cache facility.
Nevertheless, this patch gives one more chance to enable the extent cache.
For example,
1. create a file
2. write data sequentially which produces a large valid extent cache
3. update some data, resulting in a fragmented extent
4. if the fragmented extent is too small, then drop extent cache
5. close the file
6. open the file again
7. give another chance to make a new extent cache
8. write data sequentially again which creates another big extent cache.

This patch removes an unnecessary semaphore (i.e., sbi->bio_sem).
There is no reason to use the semaphore when f2fs submits read and write IOs.
Instead, let's use a write mutex and cover the sbi->bio[] by the lock.
Change log from v1:
o split write_mutex suggested by Chao Yu
Chao described,
"All DATA/NODE/META bio buffers in superblock is protected by
'sbi->write_mutex', but each bio buffer area is independent, So we
should split write_mutex to three for DATA/NODE/META."

If frequent small discards are issued to the device, the performance would
be degraded significantly.

This patch adds key functions to activate the small discard feature.
Note that this procedure is conducted during the checkpoint only.
In flush_sit_entries(), when a new dirty sit entry is flushed, f2fs calls
add_discard_addrs() which searches candidates to be discarded.
The candidates should be marked *invalidated* and also previous checkpoint
recognizes it as *valid*.
At the end of a checkpoint procedure, f2fs throws discards based on the
discard entry list.

npages_for_summary_flush uses (SUMMARY_SIZE + 1) as the size of a f2fs_summary
while its actual size is SUMMARY_SIZE. So the result sometimes is bigger than
actual number by one, which causes checkpoint can't be written into disk
contiguously, and sometimes summary blocks can't be compacted like they should.
Besides, when writing summary blocks into pages, if remain space in a page
isn't big enough for one f2fs_summary, it will be left unused, current code

Previously, do_checkpoint() will call congestion_wait() for waiting the pages
(previous submitted node/meta/data pages) to be written back.
Because congestion_wait() will set a regular period (e.g. HZ / 50 ) for waiting, and
no additional wake up mechanism was introduced if IO ends up before regular period costed.
Yuan Zhong found there is a situation that after the pages have been written back,
but the checkpoint thread still wait for congestion_wait to exit.
So here we store checkpoint task into f2fs_sb when doing checkpoint, it'll wait for IO completes
if there's IO going on, and in the end IO path, wake up checkpoint task when IO ends up.

The fs_locks is used to block other ops(ex, recovery) when doing checkpoint.
And each other operate routine(besides checkpoint) needs to acquire a fs_lock,
there is a terrible problem here, if these are too many concurrency threads acquiring
fs_lock, so that they will block each other and may lead to some performance problem,
but this is not the phenomenon we want to see.
Though there are some optimization patches introduced to enhance the usage of fs_lock,
but the thorough solution is using a *rw_sem* to replace the fs_lock.
Checkpoint routine takes write_sem, and other ops take read_sem, so that we can block
other ops(ex, recovery) when doing checkpoint, and other ops will not disturb each other,
this can avoid the problem described above completely.
Because of the weakness of rw_sem, the above change may introduce a potential problem
that the checkpoint thread might get starved if other threads are intensively locking
the read semaphore for I/O.(Pointed out by Xu Jin)
In order to avoid this, a wait_list is introduced, the appending read semaphore ops
will be dropped into the wait_list if checkpoint thread is waiting for write semaphore,
and will be waked up when checkpoint thread gives up write semaphore.
Thanks to Kim's previous review and test, and will be very glad to see other guys'
performance tests about this patch.
V2:
-fix the potential starvation problem.
-use more suitable func name suggested by Xu Jin.

During recovery, orphan inodes are deleted via truncate_hole().
These orphans are added by recover_dentry() via f2fs_delete_entry().
However, f2fs_delete_entry() adds them via add_orphan_inode()
without calling acquire_orphan_inode() first. This prevents the
counters from being incremented properly, which causes them to
underflow when remove_orphan_inode() is called later on.
