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.

During free nid allocation, in order to do preallocation, we will tag free
nid entry as allocated one and still leave it in free nid list, for other
allocators who want to grab free nids, it needs to traverse the free nid
list for lookup. It becomes overhead in scenario of allocating free nid
intensively by multithreads.
This patch splits free nid list to two list: {free,alloc}_nid_list, to
keep free nids and preallocated free nids separately, after that, traverse
latency will be gone, besides split nid_cnt for separate statistic.
Additionally, introduce __insert_nid_to_list and __remove_nid_from_list for
cleanup.

During nid allocation, it needs to exclude building and allocating flow
of free nids, this is because while building free nid cache, there are two
steps: a) load free nids from unused nat entries in NAT pages, b) update
free nid cache by checking nat journal. The two steps should be atomical,
otherwise an used nid can be allocated as free one after a) and before b).
This patch adds missing lock which covers build_free_nids in
unlock_operation and f2fs_balance_fs_bg to avoid that.

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

This patch improves the migration of dirty pages and allows migrating atomic
written pages that F2FS uses in Page Cache. Instead of the fallback releasing
page path, it provides better performance for memory compaction, CMA and other
users of memory page migrating. For dirty pages, there is no need to write back
first when migrating. For an atomic written page before committing, we can
migrate the page and update the related 'inmem_pages' list at the same time.

special case we mostly just replace bi_rw with bio_data_dir or

Commit aaf9607516 ("f2fs: check node page

its contents was missing", so it checks the page's mapping and contents.
When "nid != nid_of_node(page)", ERR_PTR(-EIO) will be returned to the
caller. However, commit e1c51b9f1d ("f2fs:
clean up node page updating flow") moves "nid != nid_of_node(page)" test
to "f2fs_bug_on(sbi, nid != nid_of_node(page))", this will return a
wrong page to the caller when F2FS_CHECK_FS is off when "sometimes it

For foreground GC, we cache node blocks in victim section and set them
dirty, then we call sync_node_pages to flush these node pages, but
meanwhile, those node pages which does not locate in victim section
will be flushed together, so more bandwidth and continuous free space
