Previously, when finishing a checkpoint, we have persisted all fs meta
info including meta inode, node inode, dentry page of directory inode, so,
after a sudden power cut, f2fs can recover from last checkpoint with full
directory structure.
But during checkpoint, we didn't flush dirty pages of regular and symlink
inode, so such dirty datas still in memory will be lost in that moment of
power off.
In order to reduce the chance of lost data, this patch enables
f2fs_balance_fs_bg with the ability of data flushing. It will try to flush
user data before starting a checkpoint. So user's data written after last
checkpoint which may not be fsynced could be saved.
When we mount with data_flush option, after every period of cp_interval
(could be configured in sysfs: /sys/fs/f2fs/device/cp_interval) seconds
user data could be flushed into device once f2fs_balance_fs_bg was called
in kworker thread or gc thread.

different competitors
Since we use different page cache (normally inode's page cache for R/W
and meta inode's page cache for GC) to cache the same physical block
which is belong to an encrypted inode. Writeback of these two page
cache should be exclusive, but now we didn't handle writeback state
well, so there may be potential racing problem:
a)
kworker: f2fs_gc:
- f2fs_write_data_pages
- f2fs_write_data_page
- do_write_data_page
- write_data_page
- f2fs_submit_page_mbio
(page#1 in inode's page cache was queued
in f2fs bio cache, and be ready to write
to new blkaddr)
- gc_data_segment
- move_encrypted_block
- pagecache_get_page
(page#2 in meta inode's page cache
was cached with the invalid datas
of physical block located in new
blkaddr)
- f2fs_submit_page_mbio
(page#1 was submitted, later, page#2
with invalid data will be submitted)
b)
f2fs_gc:
- gc_data_segment
- move_encrypted_block
- f2fs_submit_page_mbio
(page#1 in meta inode's page cache was
queued in f2fs bio cache, and be ready

user thread:
- f2fs_write_begin
- f2fs_submit_page_bio
(we submit the request to block layer
to update page#2 in inode's page cache
with physical block located in new
blkaddr, so here we may read gabbage
data from new blkaddr since GC hasn't
writebacked the page#1 yet)

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.

This patch replaces BUG cases with f2fs_bug_on to remain fsck.f2fs information.
And it implements some void functions to initiate fsck.f2fs too.

I think we need to let the dirty node pages remain in the page cache instead
of rewriting them in their places.
So, after done with successful recovery, write_checkpoint will flush all of them
through the normal write path.
Through this, we can avoid potential error cases in terms of block allocation.

Fix typo and some grammatical errors.
The words "filesystem" and "readahead" are being used without the space treewide.

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."
Jaegeuk said:
"Right. The new address is always allocated from old_curseg."

This patch adds a mount option, nobarrier, in f2fs.
The assumption in here is that file system keeps the IO ordering, but
doesn't care about cache flushes inside the storages.

This patch assign cmd_control_info in sm_info before issue_flush_thread is being
created, so this make sure that issue flush thread will have no chance to access
invalid info in fcc.
