"writeback: fix dirtied pages accounting on redirty
De-account the accumulative dirty counters on page redirty.

This patch modifies the use of bi_private to remove pointer chasing for sbi.
Previously, we had a bi_private structure, but it needs memory allocation.
So this patch uses bi_private by the sbi pointer and adds a completion pointer

The get_dnode_of_data nullifies inode and node page when error is occurred.
There are two cases that passes inode page into get_dnode_of_data().
1. make_empty_dir()
-> get_new_data_page()
-> f2fs_reserve_block(ipage)
-> get_dnode_of_data()
2. f2fs_convert_inline_data()
-> __f2fs_convert_inline_data()
-> f2fs_reserve_block(ipage)
-> get_dnode_of_data()
This patch adds correct error handling codes when get_dnode_of_data() returns
an error.
At first, f2fs_reserve_block() calls f2fs_put_dnode() whenever reserve_new_block
returns an error.
So, the rule of f2fs_reserve_block() is to nullify inode page when there is any
error internally.
Finally, two callers of f2fs_reserve_block() should call f2fs_put_dnode()
appropriately if they got an error since successful f2fs_reserve_block().

This patch refactors f2fs_convert_inline_data to check a couple of conditions
internally for deciding whether it needs to convert inline_data or not.
So, the new f2fs_convert_inline_data initially checks:
1) f2fs_has_inline_data(), and
2) the data size to be changed.
If the inode has inline_data but the size to fill is less than MAX_INLINE_DATA,
then we don't need to convert the inline_data with data allocation.

Hook inline data read/write, truncate, fallocate, setattr, etc.
Files need meet following 2 requirement to inline:
1) file size is not greater than MAX_INLINE_DATA;
2) file doesn't pre-allocate data blocks by fallocate().
FI_INLINE_DATA will not be set while creating a new regular inode because
most of the files are bigger than ~3.4K. Set FI_INLINE_DATA only when
data is submitted to block layer, ranther than set it while creating a new
inode, this also avoids converting data from inline to normal data block
and vice versa.
While writting inline data to inode block, the first data block should be
released if the file has a block indexed by i_addr[0].
On the other hand, when a file operation is appied to a file with inline
data, we need to test if this file can remain inline by doing this
operation, otherwise it should be convert into normal file by reserving
a new data block, copying inline data to this new block and clear
FI_INLINE_DATA flag. Because reserve a new data block here will make use
of i_addr[0], if we save inline data in i_addr[0..872], then the first
4 bytes would be overwriten. This problem can be avoided simply by
not using i_addr[0] for inline data.

Previously, f2fs doesn't support direct IOs with high performance, which throws
every write requests via the buffered write path, resulting in highly
performance degradation due to memory opeations like copy_from_user.
This patch introduces a new direct IO path in which every write requests are
processed by generic blockdev_direct_IO() with enhanced get_block function.
The get_data_block() in f2fs handles:
1. if original data blocks are allocates, then give them to blockdev.
2. otherwise,
a. preallocate requested block addresses
b. do not use extent cache for better performance
c. give the block addresses to blockdev
This policy induces that:
- new allocated data are sequentially written to the disk
- updated data are randomly written to the disk.
- f2fs gives consistency on its file meta, not file data.

Previously f2fs submits most of write requests using WRITE_SYNC, but f2fs_write_data_pages
submits last write requests by sync_mode flags callers pass.
This causes a performance problem since continuous pages with different sync flags
can't be merged in cfq IO scheduler(thanks yu chao for pointing it out), and synchronous
requests often take more time.
This patch makes the following modifies to DATA writebacks:
1. every page will be written back using the sync mode caller pass.
2. only pages with the same sync mode can be merged in one bio request.
These changes are restricted to DATA pages.Other types of writebacks are modified
To remain synchronous.

The f2fs manages an extent cache to search a number of consecutive data blocks
very quickly.
However it conducts unnecessary cache operations if the file is highly
fragmented with no valid extent cache.
In such the case, we don't need to handle the extent cache, but just can disable
the cache facility.
Nevertheless, this patch gives one more chance to enable the extent cache.
For example,
1. create a file
2. write data sequentially which produces a large valid extent cache
3. update some data, resulting in a fragmented extent
4. if the fragmented extent is too small, then drop extent cache
5. close the file
6. open the file again
7. give another chance to make a new extent cache
8. write data sequentially again which creates another big extent cache.

The fs_locks is used to block other ops(ex, recovery) when doing checkpoint.
And each other operate routine(besides checkpoint) needs to acquire a fs_lock,
there is a terrible problem here, if these are too many concurrency threads acquiring
fs_lock, so that they will block each other and may lead to some performance problem,
but this is not the phenomenon we want to see.
Though there are some optimization patches introduced to enhance the usage of fs_lock,
but the thorough solution is using a *rw_sem* to replace the fs_lock.
Checkpoint routine takes write_sem, and other ops take read_sem, so that we can block
other ops(ex, recovery) when doing checkpoint, and other ops will not disturb each other,
this can avoid the problem described above completely.
Because of the weakness of rw_sem, the above change may introduce a potential problem
that the checkpoint thread might get starved if other threads are intensively locking
the read semaphore for I/O.(Pointed out by Xu Jin)
In order to avoid this, a wait_list is introduced, the appending read semaphore ops
will be dropped into the wait_list if checkpoint thread is waiting for write semaphore,
and will be waked up when checkpoint thread gives up write semaphore.
Thanks to Kim's previous review and test, and will be very glad to see other guys'
performance tests about this patch.
V2:
-fix the potential starvation problem.
-use more suitable func name suggested by Xu Jin.

This patch enables the number of direct pointers inside on-disk inode block to
be changed dynamically according to the size of inline xattr space.
The number of direct pointers, ADDRS_PER_INODE, can be changed only if the file
has inline xattr flag.
The number of direct pointers that will be used by inline xattrs is defined as
F2FS_INLINE_XATTR_ADDRS.
Current patch assigns F2FS_INLINE_XATTR_ADDRS to 0 temporarily.

This patch removes a false-alaramed BUG_ON.
The previous BUG_ON condition didn't cover the following true scenario.
In f2fs_add_link, 1) get_new_data_page gives an uptodate page successfully,
and then, 2) init_inode_metadata returns -ENOSPC.
At this moment, a new clean data page is remained in the page cache, but its
block address still indicates NEW_ADDR.
After then, even if sync is called, this clean data page cannot be written to
the disk due to the clean state.
So this means that get_lock_data_page should make a new empty page when its
block address is NEW_ADDR and its page is not uptodated.
