[Jaegeuk: remove unnecessary tracepoints]

Like below, there are 8 segment bitmaps for SSR victim candidates.
enum dirty_type {
DIRTY_HOT_DATA, /* dirty segments assigned as hot data logs */
DIRTY_WARM_DATA, /* dirty segments assigned as warm data logs */
DIRTY_COLD_DATA, /* dirty segments assigned as cold data logs */
DIRTY_HOT_NODE, /* dirty segments assigned as hot node logs */
DIRTY_WARM_NODE, /* dirty segments assigned as warm node 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.

This patch adds a new condition that allocates free segments in the current
active section even if SSR is needed.
Otherwise, f2fs cannot allocate remained free segments in the section since
SSR finds dirty segments only.

This patch removes a bitmap for victim segments selected by foreground GC, and
modifies the other bitmap for victim segments selected by background GC.
1) foreground GC bitmap
: We don't need to manage this, since we just only one previous victim section
number instead of the whole victim history.
The f2fs uses the victim section number in order not to allocate currently
GC'ed section to current active logs.
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.
By the fact that the foreground GC reclaims segments in a section unit, it'd
be better to manage this bitmap based on the section granularity.

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.
5. Adopt thread-logging (Slack-Space-Recycle) scheme more aggressively on data
log types. See. get_ssr_segement()

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.

I'd like to revisit the f2fs_gc flow and rewrite as follows.
1. In practical, the nGC parameter of f2fs_gc is meaningless. So, let's
remove it.
2. Background GC marks victim blocks as dirty one at a time.
3. Foreground GC should do cleaning job until acquiring enough free
sections. Afterwards, it needs to do checkpoint.

Since, the memory for the object of dirty_seglist_info is allocated
using kzalloc - which returns zeroed out memory. So, there is no need
to initialize the nr_dirty values with zeroes.

Practically, has_not_enough_free_secs() should calculate with the numbers of
current node and directory data blocks together.
Actually the equation was implemented in need_to_flush().
So, this patch removes need_flush() and moves the equation into
has_not_enough_free_secs().

We should guarantee not to do *scheduling while atomic*.
I found, in atomic f2fs_end_io_write(), there is a set_page_dirty() call
to deal with IO errors.
But, set_page_dirty() calls:
-> f2fs_set_data_page_dirty()
-> set_dirty_dir_page()
-> cond_resched() which results in scheduling.
In order to avoid this, I'd like to remove simply set_page_dirty(),
since the page is already marked as ERROR and f2fs will be operated
as the read-only mode as well.
So, there is no recovery issue with this.

Do cleanup more for better code readability.
- Change the parameter set of f2fs_bio_alloc()
This function should allocate a bio only since it is not something like
f2fs_bio_init(). Instead, the caller should initialize the allocated bio.
- Introduce SECTOR_FROM_BLOCK
This macro translates a block address to its sector address.

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.
