"The major work includes fixing and enhancing the existing extent_cache
feature, which has been well settling down so far and now it becomes a
default mount option accordingly.
Also, this version newly registers a f2fs memory shrinker to reclaim
several objects consumed by a couple of data structures in order to
avoid memory pressures.
Another new feature is to add ioctl(F2FS_GARBAGE_COLLECT) which
triggers a cleaning job explicitly by users.
Most of the other patches are to fix bugs occurred in the corner cases
across the whole code area"

"This first core part of the block IO changes contains:
- Cleanup of the bio IO error signaling from Christoph. We used to
rely on the uptodate bit and passing around of an error, now we
store the error in the bio itself.
- Improvement of the above from myself, by shrinking the bio size
down again to fit in two cachelines on x86-64.
- Revert of the max_hw_sectors cap removal from a revision again,
from Jeff Moyer. This caused performance regressions in various
tests. Reinstate the limit, bump it to a more reasonable size
instead.
- Make /sys/block/<dev>/queue/discard_max_bytes writeable, by me.
Most devices have huge trim limits, which can cause nasty latencies
when deleting files. Enable the admin to configure the size down.
We will look into having a more sane default instead of UINT_MAX
sectors.
- Improvement of the SGP gaps logic from Keith Busch.
- Enable the block core to handle arbitrarily sized bios, which
enables a nice simplification of bio_add_page() (which is an IO hot
path). From Kent.
- Improvements to the partition io stats accounting, making it

- Also from Ming Lei, a basic fixup for overflow of the sysfs pending

This is because f2fs_map_blocks will return with no error when meeting
a hole or preallocated block, the caller __get_data_block will map the
uninitialized variable value to bh->b_blocknr.
Unfortunately generic_block_bmap will neither check the return value of
get_data() nor check mapping info of buffer_head, result in returning
the random block address.

As the below comment of bio_alloc_bioset, f2fs can allocate multiple bios at the
same time. So, we can't guarantee that bio is allocated all the time.
"
* When @bs is not NULL, if %__GFP_WAIT is set then bio_alloc will always be
* able to allocate a bio. This is due to the mempool guarantees. To make this
* work, callers must never allocate more than 1 bio at a time from this pool.
* Callers that need to allocate more than 1 bio must always submit the

* Failure to do so can cause deadlocks under memory pressure.

The reason is that when triggering DIO in f2fs, we will return zero value
in ->direct_IO if writer's buffer offset, file offset and transfer size is
not alignment to block size of filesystem, resulting in falling back into
buffered write instead of returning -EINVAL.
This patch fixes that problem by returning correct error number for above
case, and removing the judgement condition in check_direct_IO to make sure
the verification will be enabled for direct reader too.
Besides, Jaegeuk Kim pointed out that there is expectional cases we should
always make direct-io falling back into buffered write, such as dio in

In following call path, we will pass a locked and referenced ipage
pointer to get_new_data_page:
- init_inode_metadata
- make_empty_dir
- get_new_data_page
There are two exit paths in get_new_data_page when error occurs:
1) grab_cache_page fails, ipage will not be released;
2) f2fs_reserve_block fails, ipage will be released in callee.
So, it's not consistent for error handling in get_new_data_page.
For f2fs_reserve_block, it's not very easy to change the rule
of error handling, since it's already complicated.
Here we deside to choose an easy way to fix this issue:
If any error occur in get_new_data_page, we will ensure releasing
ipage in this function.

If there are gced dirty pages and normal dirty pages in the mapping
of one inode, we might writeback them alternately with discontinuous
block address, resulting in low performance.
This patch introduces f2fs_write_cache_pages with codes copied from
write_cache_pages in mm/page-writeback.c.
In this function, we refactor flow with two steps:
1) writeback all cold type pages.
2) writeback all non-cold type pages.
By using this method, f2fs will writeback dirty pages with the same
temperature in bunch mode, it makes writeouted block being with
more continuous address, so they can be merged as much as possible
in f2fs bio cache, and also it will reduce the chance of submiting
small IO from block layer.

Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO:
(1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag
(2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback
The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible
error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent
when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent
bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms
available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors
and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of
them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds
of error returns.
So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct
bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

Normally, due to DIO_SKIP_HOLES flag is set by default, blockdev_direct_IO in
f2fs_direct_IO tries to skip DIO in holes when writing inside i_size, this
makes us falling back to buffered IO which shows lower performance.
So in commit 59b802e5a4 ("f2fs: allocate data blocks in advance for
f2fs_direct_IO"), we improve perfromance by allocating data blocks in advance
if we meet holes no matter in i_size or not, since with it we can avoid falling

But we forget to consider for unwritten fallocated block in this commit.
This patch tries to fix it for fallocate case, this helps to improve

This patch tries to preserve last extent info in extent tree cache into on-disk
inode, so this can help us to reuse the last extent info next time for
performance.

With normal extent info cache, we records largest extent mapping between logical
block and physical block into extent info, and we persist extent info in on-disk
inode.
When we enable extent tree cache, if extent info of on-disk inode is exist, and
the extent is not a small fragmented mapping extent. We'd better to load the
extent info into extent tree cache when inode is loaded. By this way we can have
more chance to hit extent tree cache rather than taking more time to read dnode
page for block address.

Split __set_data_blkaddr from f2fs_update_extent_cache for readability.
Additionally rename __set_data_blkaddr to set_data_blkaddr for exporting.

This patch is to avoid some punch_hole overhead when releasing volatile data.
If volatile data was not written yet, we just can make the first page as zero.

Previously, f2fs_write_data_pages has a mutex, sbi->writepages, to serialize
data writes to maximize write bandwidth, while sacrificing multi-threads
performance.
Practically, however, multi-threads environment is much more important for
users. So this patch tries to remove the mutex.
