This patch integrates redundant bio operations on read and write IOs.
1. Move bio-related codes to the top of data.c.
2. Replace f2fs_submit_bio with f2fs_submit_merged_bio, which handles read
bios additionally.
3. Introduce __submit_merged_bio to submit the merged bio.
4. Change f2fs_readpage to f2fs_submit_page_bio.
5. Introduce f2fs_submit_page_mbio to integrate previous submit_read_page and
submit_write_page.

Previously, we experience bio traces as follows when running simple sequential
write test.
f2fs_do_submit_bio: type = NODE, io = no sync, sector = 500104928, size = 4K
f2fs_do_submit_bio: type = NODE, io = no sync, sector = 499922208, size = 368K
f2fs_do_submit_bio: type = NODE, io = no sync, sector = 499914752, size = 140K
-> total 512K
The first one is to write an indirect node block, and the others are to write
direct node blocks.
The reason why there are two separate bios for direct node blocks is:
0. initial state
------------------ ------------------
| | |xxxxxxxx |
------------------ ------------------
1. write 368K
------------------ ------------------
| | |xxxxxxxxWWWWWWWW|
------------------ ------------------
2. write 140K
------------------ ------------------
|WWWWWWW | |xxxxxxxxWWWWWWWW|
------------------ ------------------
This is because f2fs_write_node_pages tries to write just 512K totally, so that
we can lose the chance to merge more bios nicely.
After this patch is applied, we can get the following bio traces.
f2fs_do_submit_bio: type = NODE, io = no sync, sector = 500103168, size = 8K
f2fs_do_submit_bio: type = NODE, io = no sync, sector = 500111368, size = 4K
f2fs_do_submit_bio: type = NODE, io = no sync, sector = 500107272, size = 512K
f2fs_do_submit_bio: type = NODE, io = no sync, sector = 500108296, size = 512K
f2fs_do_submit_bio: type = NODE, io = no sync, sector = 500109320, size = 500K
And finally, we can improve the sequential write performance,
from 458.775 MB/s to 479.945 MB/s on SSD.

I found a bug when testing power-off-recovery as follows.
[Bug Scenario]
1. create a file
2. fsync the file
3. reboot w/o any sync
4. try to recover the file
- found its fsync mark
- found its dentry mark
: try to recover its dentry
- get its file name
- get its parent inode number
: here we got zero value
The reason why we get the wrong parent inode number is that we didn't
synchronize the inode page with its newly created inode information perfectly.
Especially, previous f2fs stores fi->i_pino and writes it to the cached
node page in a wrong order, which incurs the zero-valued i_pino during the
recovery.
So, this patch modifies the creation flow to fix the synchronization order of
inode page with its inode.

This patch resolves this inconsistency that results in:

2. write data
3. fsync
4. reboot without sync
5. mount and recover the file
6. node block count is 1 and inode block count is 2
: fall into the inconsistent state
7. unlink the file

Currently there is no way to truncate partial page where the end
truncate point is not at the end of the page. This is because it was not
needed and the functionality was enough for file system truncate
operation to work properly. However more file systems now support punch
hole feature and it can benefit from mm supporting truncating page just
up to the certain point.
Specifically, with this functionality truncate_inode_pages_range() can
be changed so it supports truncating partial page at the end of the
range (currently it will BUG_ON() if 'end' is not at the end of the
page).
This commit changes the invalidatepage() address space operation
prototype to accept range to be invalidated and update all the instances
for it.
We also change the block_invalidatepage() in the same way and actually
make a use of the new length argument implementing range invalidation.
Actual file system implementations will follow except the file systems
where the changes are really simple and should not change the behaviour
in any way .Implementation for truncate_page_range() which will be able
to accept page unaligned ranges will follow as well.

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.

with max_hw_blocks using queue_max_sectors.

In the previous version, f2fs uses global locks according to the usage types,
such as directory operations, block allocation, block write, and so on.
Reference the following lock types in f2fs.h.
enum lock_type {
RENAME, /* for renaming operations */
DENTRY_OPS, /* for directory operations */
DATA_WRITE, /* for data write */
DATA_NEW, /* for data allocation */
DATA_TRUNC, /* for data truncate */
NODE_NEW, /* for node allocation */
NODE_TRUNC, /* for node truncate */
NODE_WRITE, /* for node write */
NR_LOCK_TYPE,
};
In that case, we lose the performance under the multi-threading environment,
since every types of operations must be conducted one at a time.
In order to address the problem, let's share the locks globally with a mutex
array regardless of any types.
So, let users grab a mutex and perform their jobs in parallel as much as
possbile.
For this, I propose a new global lock scheme as follows.
0. Data structure
- f2fs_sb_info -> mutex_lock[NR_GLOBAL_LOCKS]
- f2fs_sb_info -> node_write
1. mutex_lock_op(sbi)
- try to get an avaiable lock from the array.
- returns the index of the gottern lock variable.
2. mutex_unlock_op(sbi, index of the lock)
- unlock the given index of the lock.
3. mutex_lock_all(sbi)
- grab all the locks in the array before the checkpoint.
4. mutex_unlock_all(sbi)
- release all the locks in the array after checkpoint.
5. block_operations()
- call mutex_lock_all()
- sync_dirty_dir_inodes()
- grab node_write
- sync_node_pages()
Note that,
the pairs of mutex_lock_op()/mutex_unlock_op() and
mutex_lock_all()/mutex_unlock_all() should be used together.

Otherwise, we can use too much wide range of nids even though several nids were

This patch reduces redundant locking and unlocking pages during read operations.
In f2fs_readpage, let's use wait_on_page_locked() instead of lock_page.
And then, when we need to modify any data finally, let's lock the page so that
we can avoid lock contention.
[readpage rule]
- The f2fs_readpage returns unlocked page, or released page too in error cases.
- Its caller should handle read error, -EIO, after locking the page, which
indicates read completion.
- Its caller should check PageUptodate after grab_cache_page.

and check for up-to-date, instead we can make use of grab_cache_page
part itself to fetch the page from the cache.

Previously, f2fs reads several node pages ahead when get_dnode_of_data is called
with RDONLY_NODE flag.
And, this flag is set by the following functions.
- get_data_block_ro
- get_lock_data_page
- do_write_data_page
- truncate_blocks
- truncate_hole
However, this readahead mechanism is initially introduced for the use of
get_data_block_ro to enhance the sequential read performance.
So, let's clarify all the cases with the additional modes as follows.
enum {
ALLOC_NODE, /* allocate a new node page if needed */
LOOKUP_NODE, /* look up a node without readahead */
LOOKUP_NODE_RA, /*
* look up a node with readahead called
* by get_datablock_ro.
*/
}

The get_node_page_ra tries to:
1. grab or read a target node page for the given nid,
2. then, call ra_node_page to read other adjacent node pages in advance.
So, when we try to read a target node page by #1, we should submit bio with
READ_SYNC instead of READA.
And, in #2, READA should be used.

If the node page was truncated, its block address became zero.
This means that we don't need to write the node page, but have to unlock
NODE_WRITE, decrease the number of dirty node pages, and then unlock_page
before returning the f2fs_write_node_page with zero.

This patch makes clearer the ambiguous f2fs_gc flow as follows.
1. Remove intermediate checkpoint condition during f2fs_gc
(i.e., should_do_checkpoint() and GC_BLOCKED)
2. Remove unnecessary return values of f2fs_gc because of #1.
(i.e., GC_NODE, GC_OK, etc)
3. Simplify write_checkpoint() because of #2.
4. Clarify the main f2fs_gc flow.
o monitor how many freed sections during one iteration of do_garbage_collect().
o do GC more without checkpoints if we can't get enough free sections.
o do checkpoint once we've got enough free sections through forground GCs.

If some small bios of dirty node pages are supposed to be issued during the
sequential data writes, there-in well-produced consecutive data bios are able
to be split by the small node bios, resulting in performance degradation.
So, let's collect a number of dirty node pages until reaching a threshold.
And, by default, I set the threshold as 2MB, a segment size.
This improves sequential write performance on i5, 512GB SSD (830 w/ SATA2) as
follows.
Before: 231 MB/s -> After: 255 MB/s

The new_node_page() is processed as the following procedure.
1. A new node page is allocated.
2. Set PageUptodate with proper footer information.
3. Check if there is a free space for allocation
4.a. If there is no space, f2fs returns with -ENOSPC.
4.b. Otherwise, go next.
In the case of step #4.a, f2fs remains a wrong node page in the page cache
with the uptodate flag.
Also, even though a new node page is allocated successfully, an error can be
occurred afterwards due to allocation failure of the other data structures.
In such a case, remove_inode_page() would be triggered, so that we have to
clear uptodate flag in truncate_node() too.
So, we should remove the uptodate flag, if allocation is failed.

Ruslan reported that f2fs hangs with an infinite loop in f2fs_sync_file():
while (sync_node_pages(sbi, inode->i_ino, &wbc) == 0)
f2fs_write_inode(inode, NULL);
The reason was revealed that the cold flag is not set even thought this inode is
a normal file. Therefore, sync_node_pages() skips to write node blocks since it
only writes cold node blocks.
The cold flag is stored to the node_footer in node block, and whenever a new
node page is allocated, it is set according to its file type, file or directory.
But, after sudden-power-off, when recovering the inode page, f2fs doesn't recover
its cold flag.
So, let's assign the cold flag in more right places.
One more thing:
If f2fs_write_inode() returns an error due to whatever situations, there would
be no dirty node pages so that sync_node_pages() returns zero.
(i.e., zero means nothing was written.)

This adds specific functions to manage NAT pages, a cache for NAT entries, free
nids, direct/indirect node blocks for indexing data, and address space for node
pages.
- The key information of an NAT entry consists of a node id and a block address.
- An NAT page is composed of block addresses covered by a certain range of NAT
entries, which is maintained by the address space of meta_inode.
- A radix tree structure is used to cache NAT entries. The index for the tree
is a node id.
- When there is no free nid, F2FS should scan NAT entries to find new one. In
order to avoid scanning frequently, F2FS manages a list containing a number of
free nids in memory. Only when free nids in the list are exhausted, scanning
process, build_free_nids(), is triggered.
- F2FS has direct and indirect node blocks for indexing data. This patch adds
fuctions related to the node block management such as getting, allocating, and
truncating node blocks to index data.
- In order to cache node blocks in memory, F2FS has a node_inode with an address
space for node pages. This patch also adds the address space operations for
node_inode.
