This patch series contains several performance tuning patches regarding to the
IO submission flow, in addition to supporting new features such as a ZBC-base
drive and multiple devices.
It also includes some major bug fixes such as:
- checkpoint version control
- fdatasync-related roll-forward recovery routine
- memory boundary or null-pointer access in corner cases
- missing error cases
It has various minor clean-up patches as well.

Previous mkfs.f2fs allows small partition inappropriately, so f2fs should detect
that as well.

While calculating inode count that we can create at most in the left space,

This patch implements multiple devices support for f2fs.
Given multiple devices by mkfs.f2fs, f2fs shows them entirely as one big
volume under one f2fs instance.
Internal block management is very simple, but we will modify block allocation
and background GC policy to boost IO speed by exploiting them accoording to
each device speed.

With the zoned block device feature enabled, section discard
need to do a zone reset for sections contained in sequential
zones, and a regular discard (if supported) for sections
stored in conventional zones. Avoid the need for a costly
report zones to obtain a section zone type when discarding it
by caching the types of the device zones in the super block
information. This cache is initialized at mount time for mounts
with the zoned block device feature enabled.

Zone write pointer reset acts as discard for zoned block

always declare that discard is enabled, even if the device
does not actually support the command.
For the same reason, prevent the use the "nodicard" mount
option.

SMR stands for "Shingled Magnetic Recording" which makes sense
only for hard disk drives (spinning rust). The ZBC/ZAC standards
enable management of SMR disks, but solid state drives may also
support those standards. So rename the HMSMR feature to BLKZONED
to avoid a HDD centric terminology. For the same reason, rename
f2fs_sb_mounted_hmsmr to f2fs_sb_mounted_blkzoned.

This is to avoid no free segment bug during checkpoint caused by a number of
dirty inodes.
The case was reported by Chao like this.
1. mount with lazytime option
2. fill 4k file until disk is full
3. sync filesystem
4. read all files in the image
5. umount
In this case, we actually don't need to flush dirty inode to inode page during
checkpoint.

Previously, we only support global fault injection configuration, so that
when we configure type/rate of fault injection through sysfs, mount
option, it will influence all f2fs partition which is being used.
It is not make sence, since it will be not convenient if developer want
to test separated partitions with different fault injection rate/type
simultaneously, also it's not possible to enable fault injection in one
partition and disable fault injection in other one.
>From now on, we move global configuration of fault injection in module
into per-superblock, hence injection testing can be more flexible.

When getting EIO while handling orphan inodes, we can get some dirty node
pages. Then, f2fs_write_node_pages() called by iput(node_inode) will try
to flush node pages. But in this case, we should prevent to do that, since
we will try again from the start.

Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk@kernel.org>
Previously, we used cp_version only to detect recoverable dnodes.
In order to avoid same garbage cp_version, we needed to truncate the next
dnode during checkpoint, resulting in additional discard or data write.
If we can distinguish this by using crc in addition to cp_version, we can
remove this overhead.
There is backward compatibility concern where it changes node_footer layout.
So, this patch introduces a new checkpoint flag, CP_CRC_RECOVERY_FLAG, to
detect new layout. New layout will be activated only when this flag is set.

Probably the most interesting part long-term is ->d_init() - that will
have a bunch of followups in (at least) ceph and lustre, but we'll
need to sort the barrier-related rules before it can get used for
really non-trivial stuff.
Another fun thing is the merge of ->d_iput() callers (dentry_iput()
and dentry_unlink_inode()) and a bunch of ->d_compare() ones (all
