In f2fs_evict_inode,
commit_inmemory_pages
f2fs_gc
f2fs_iget

-> wait for inode free
Here, if the inode is same as the one to be evicted, f2fs should wait forever.
Actually, we should not call f2fs_balance_fs during f2fs_evict_inode to avoid
this.
But, the commit_inmem_pages calls f2fs_balance_fs by default, even if
f2fs_evict_inode wants to free inmemory pages only.
Hence, this patch adds to trigger f2fs_balance_fs only when there is something
to write.

This patch introduces a very limited functionality for atomic write support.
In order to support atomic write, this patch adds two ioctls:
o F2FS_IOC_START_ATOMIC_WRITE
o F2FS_IOC_COMMIT_ATOMIC_WRITE
The database engine should be aware of the following sequence.
1. open
-> ioctl(F2FS_IOC_START_ATOMIC_WRITE);
2. writes
: all the written data will be treated as atomic pages.
3. commit
-> ioctl(F2FS_IOC_COMMIT_ATOMIC_WRITE);
: this flushes all the data blocks to the disk, which will be shown all or
nothing by f2fs recovery procedure.
4. repeat to #2.
The IO pattens should be:
,- START_ATOMIC_WRITE ,- COMMIT_ATOMIC_WRITE
CP | D D D D D D | FSYNC | D D D D | FSYNC ...

In commit aec71382c6 ("f2fs: refactor flush_nat_entries codes for reducing NAT
writes"), we descripte the issue as below:
"Although building NAT journal in cursum reduce the read/write work for NAT
block, but previous design leave us lower performance when write checkpoint
frequently for these cases:
1. if journal in cursum has already full, it's a bit of waste that we flush all
nat entries to page for persistence, but not to cache any entries.
2. if journal in cursum is not full, we fill nat entries to journal util
journal is full, then flush the left dirty entries to disk without merge
journaled entries, so these journaled entries may be flushed to disk at next
checkpoint but lost chance to flushed last time."
Actually, we have the same problem in using SIT journal area.
In this patch, firstly we will update sit journal with dirty entries as many as
possible. Secondly if there is no space in sit journal, we will remove all
entries in journal and walk through the whole dirty entry bitmap of sit,
accounting dirty sit entries located in same SIT block to sit entry set. All
entry sets are linked to list sit_entry_set in sm_info, sorted ascending order
by count of entries in set. Later we flush entries in set which have fewest
entries into journal as many as we can, and then flush dense set with merged
entries to disk.
In this way we can use sit journal area more effectively, also we will reduce
SIT update, result in gaining in performance and saving lifetime of flash
device.
In my testing environment, it shows this patch can help to reduce SIT block
update obviously.

There are redundant lines in allocate_data_block.
In this function, we call refresh_sit_entry with old seg and old curseg.
After that, we call locate_dirty_segment with old curseg.
But, the new address is always allocated from old curseg and
we call locate_dirty_segment with old curseg in refresh_sit_entry.
So, we do not need to call locate_dirty_segment with old curseg again.
We've discussed like below:
Jaegeuk said:
"When considering SSR, we need to take care of the following scenario.
- old segno : X
- new address : Z
- old curseg : Y
This means, a new block is supposed to be written to Z from X.
And Z is newly allocated in the same path from Y.
In that case, we should trigger locate_dirty_segment for Y, since
it was a current_segment and can be dirty owing to SSR.
But that was not included in the dirty list."
Changman said:
"We already choosed old curseg(Y) and then we allocate new address(Z) from old
curseg(Y). After that we call refresh_sit_entry(old address, new address).
In the funcation, we call locate_dirty_segment with old seg and old curseg.
So calling locate_dirty_segment after refresh_sit_entry again is redundant."

Some storage devices show relatively high latencies to complete cache_flush
commands, even though their normal IO speed is prettry much high. In such
the case, it needs to merge cache_flush commands as much as possible to avoid
issuing them redundantly.
So, this patch introduces a mount option, "-o flush_merge", to mitigate such
the overhead.
If this option is enabled by user, F2FS merges the cache_flush commands and then
issues just one cache_flush on behalf of them. Once the single command is
finished, F2FS sends a completion signal to all the pending threads.
Note that, this option can be used under a workload consisting of very intensive
concurrent fsync calls, while the storage handles cache_flush commands slowly.

When considering a bunch of data writes with very frequent fsync calls, we
are able to think the following performance regression.
N: Node IO, D: Data IO, IO scheduler: cfq
Issue pending IOs
D1 D2 D3 D4
D1 D2 D3 D4 N1
D2 D3 D4 N1 N2
N1 D3 D4 N2 D1
--> N1 can be selected by cfq becase of the same priority of N and D.
Then D3 and D4 would be delayed, resuling in performance degradation.
So, when processing the fsync call, it'd better give higher priority to data IOs
than node IOs by assigning WRITE and WRITE_SYNC respectively.

Previously, f2fs doesn't support direct IOs with high performance, which throws
every write requests via the buffered write path, resulting in highly
performance degradation due to memory opeations like copy_from_user.
This patch introduces a new direct IO path in which every write requests are
processed by generic blockdev_direct_IO() with enhanced get_block function.
The get_data_block() in f2fs handles:
1. if original data blocks are allocates, then give them to blockdev.
2. otherwise,
a. preallocate requested block addresses
b. do not use extent cache for better performance
c. give the block addresses to blockdev
This policy induces that:
- new allocated data are sequentially written to the disk
- updated data are randomly written to the disk.
- f2fs gives consistency on its file meta, not file data.

This patch introduces new sysfs entries for users to control the policy of
in-place-updates, namely IPU, in f2fs.
Sometimes f2fs suffers from performance degradation due to its out-of-place
update policy that produces many additional node block writes.
If the storage performance is very dependant on the amount of data writes
instead of IO patterns, we'd better drop this out-of-place update policy.
This patch suggests 5 polcies and their triggering conditions as follows.
[sysfs entry name = ipu_policy]
0: F2FS_IPU_FORCE all the time,
1: F2FS_IPU_SSR if SSR mode is activated,
2: F2FS_IPU_UTIL if FS utilization is over threashold,
3: F2FS_IPU_SSR_UTIL if SSR mode is activated and FS utilization is over
threashold,
4: F2FS_IPU_DISABLE disable IPU. (=default option)
[sysfs entry name = min_ipu_util]
This parameter controls the threshold to trigger in-place-updates.
The number indicates percentage of the filesystem utilization, and used by
F2FS_IPU_UTIL and F2FS_IPU_SSR_UTIL policies.

Previously f2fs submits most of write requests using WRITE_SYNC, but f2fs_write_data_pages
submits last write requests by sync_mode flags callers pass.
This causes a performance problem since continuous pages with different sync flags
can't be merged in cfq IO scheduler(thanks yu chao for pointing it out), and synchronous
requests often take more time.
This patch makes the following modifies to DATA writebacks:
1. every page will be written back using the sync mode caller pass.
2. only pages with the same sync mode can be merged in one bio request.
These changes are restricted to DATA pages.Other types of writebacks are modified
To remain synchronous.

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 */

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.

This patch fixes a deadlock bug that occurs quite often when there are
concurrent write and fsync on a same file.
Following is the simplified call trace when tasks get hung.
fsync thread:
- f2fs_sync_file
...
- f2fs_write_data_pages
...
- update_extent_cache
...
- update_inode
- wait_on_page_writeback
bdi writeback thread
- __writeback_single_inode
- f2fs_write_data_pages
- mutex_lock(sbi->writepages)
The deadlock happens when the fsync thread waits on a inode page that has
been added to the f2fs' cached bio sbi->bio[NODE], and unfortunately,
no one else could be able to submit the cached bio to block layer for
writeback. This is because the fsync thread already hold a sbi->fs_lock and
the sbi->writepages lock, causing the bdi thread being blocked when attempt
to write data pages for the same inode. At the same time, f2fs_gc thread
does not notice the situation and could not help. Even the sync syscall
gets blocked.
To fix it, we could submit the cached bio first before waiting on a inode page
that is being written back.

This patch removes check_prefree_segments initially designed to enhance the
performance by narrowing the range of LBA usage across the whole block device.
When allocating a new segment, previous f2fs tries to find proper prefree
segments, and then, if finds a segment, it reuses the segment for further
data or node block allocation.
However, I found that this was totally wrong approach since the prefree segments
have several data or node blocks that will be used by the roll-forward mechanism
operated after sudden-power-off.
Let's assume the following scenario.
/* write 8MB with fsync */
for (i = 0; i < 2048; i++) {
offset = i * 4096;
write(fd, offset, 4KB);
fsync(fd);
}
In this case, naive segment allocation sequence will be like:
data segment: x, x+1, x+2, x+3
node segment: y, y+1, y+2, y+3.
But, if we can reuse prefree segments, the sequence can be like:
data segment: x, x+1, y, y+1
node segment: y, y+1, y+2, y+3.
Because, y, y+1, and y+2 became prefree segments one by one, and those are
reused by data allocation.
After conducting this workload, we should consider how to recover the latest
inode with its data.
If we reuse the prefree segments such as y or y+1, we lost the old node blocks
so that f2fs even cannot start roll-forward recovery.
Therefore, I suggest that we should remove reusing prefree segments.

When testing f2fs on an SSD, I found some 128 page IOs followed by 1 page IO
were issued by f2fs_write_node_pages.
This means that there were some mishandling flows which degrades performance.
Previous f2fs_write_node_pages determines the number of pages to be written,
nr_to_write, as follows.
1. The bio_get_nr_vecs returns 129 pages.
2. The bio_alloc makes a room for 128 pages.
3. The initial 128 pages go into one bio.
4. The existing bio is submitted, and a new bio is prepared for the last 1 page.
5. Finally, sync_node_pages submits the last 1 page bio.
The problem is from the use of bio_get_nr_vecs, so this patch replace it
with max_hw_blocks using queue_max_sectors.

DIRTY_COLD_DATA, /* dirty segments assigned as cold data logs */

DIRTY_COLD_NODE, /* dirty segments assigned as cold node logs */
DIRTY, /* to count # of dirty segments */
PRE, /* to count # of entirely obsolete segments */
NR_DIRTY_TYPE
};
The upper 6 bitmaps indicates segments dirtied by active log areas respectively.
And, the DIRTY bitmap integrates all the 6 bitmaps.
For example,
o DIRTY_HOT_DATA : 1010000
o DIRTY_WARM_DATA: 0100000
o DIRTY_COLD_DATA: 0001000
o DIRTY_HOT_NODE : 0000010
o DIRTY_WARM_NODE: 0000001
o DIRTY_COLD_NODE: 0000000
In this case,
o DIRTY : 1111011,
which means that we should guarantee the consistency between DIRTY and other
bitmaps concreately.
However, the SSR mode selects victims freely from any log types, which can set
multiple bits across the various bitmap types.
So, this patch eliminates this inconsistency.

The f2fs uses the victim section number in order not to allocate currently

2) background GC bitmap
: This bitmap is used to avoid selecting victims repeatedly by background GCs.
In addition, the victims are able to be selected by foreground GCs, since
there is no need to read victim blocks during foreground GCs.

This patch enhances the checkpoint routine to cope with IO errors.
Basically f2fs detects IO errors from end_io_write, and the errors are able to
be occurred during one of data, node, and meta page writes.
In the previous code, when an IO error is occurred during writes, f2fs sets a
flag, CP_ERROR_FLAG, in the raw ckeckpoint buffer which will be written to disk.
Afterwards, write_checkpoint() will check the flag and remount f2fs as a
read-only (ro) mode.
However, even once f2fs is remounted as a ro mode, dirty checkpoint pages are
freely able to be written to disk by flusher or kswapd in background.
In such a case, after cold reboot, f2fs would restore the checkpoint data having
CP_ERROR_FLAG, resulting in disabling write_checkpoint and remounting f2fs as
a ro mode again.
Therefore, let's prevent any checkpoint page (meta) writes once an IO error is
occurred, and remount f2fs as a ro mode right away at that moment.

This adds specific functions not only to manage dirty/free segments, SIT pages,
a cache for SIT entries, and summary entries, but also to allocate free blocks
and write three types of pages: data, node, and meta.
- F2FS maintains three types of bitmaps in memory, which indicate free, prefree,
and dirty segments respectively.
- The key information of an SIT entry consists of a segment number, the number
of valid blocks in the segment, a bitmap to identify there-in valid or invalid
blocks.
- An SIT page is composed of a certain range of SIT entries, which is maintained
by the address space of meta_inode.
- To cache SIT entries, a simple array is used. The index for the array is the
segment number.
- A summary entry for data contains the parent node information. A summary entry
for node contains its node offset from the inode.
- F2FS manages information about six active logs and those summary entries in
memory. Whenever one of them is changed, its summary entries are flushed to
its SIT page maintained by the address space of meta_inode.
- This patch adds a default block allocation function which supports heap-based
allocation policy.
- This patch adds core functions to write data, node, and meta pages. Since LFS
basically produces a series of sequential writes, F2FS merges sequential bios
with a single one as much as possible to reduce the IO scheduling overhead.
