Some storage devices show relatively high latencies to complete cache_flush
commands, even though their normal IO speed is prettry much high. In such
the case, it needs to merge cache_flush commands as much as possible to avoid
issuing them redundantly.
So, this patch introduces a mount option, "-o flush_merge", to mitigate such
the overhead.
If this option is enabled by user, F2FS merges the cache_flush commands and then
issues just one cache_flush on behalf of them. Once the single command is
finished, F2FS sends a completion signal to all the pending threads.
Note that, this option can be used under a workload consisting of very intensive
concurrent fsync calls, while the storage handles cache_flush commands slowly.

It is more reasonable to determine the reclaiming rate of prefree segments
according to the volume size, which is set to 5% by default.
For example, if the volume is 128GB, the prefree segments are reclaimed
when the number reaches to 6.4GB.

Previously, we ra_sum_pages to pre-read contiguous pages as more
as possible, and if we fail to alloc more pages, an ENOMEM error
will be reported upstream, even though we have alloced some pages
yet. In fact, we can use the available pages to do the job partly,
and continue the rest in the following circle. Only reporting ENOMEM
upstream if we really can not alloc any available page.
And another fix is ignoring dealing with the following pages if an
EIO occurs when reading page from page_list.

When considering a bunch of data writes with very frequent fsync calls, we
are able to think the following performance regression.
N: Node IO, D: Data IO, IO scheduler: cfq
Issue pending IOs
D1 D2 D3 D4
D1 D2 D3 D4 N1
D2 D3 D4 N1 N2
N1 D3 D4 N2 D1
--> N1 can be selected by cfq becase of the same priority of N and D.
Then D3 and D4 would be delayed, resuling in performance degradation.
So, when processing the fsync call, it'd better give higher priority to data IOs
than node IOs by assigning WRITE and WRITE_SYNC respectively.
This patch improves the random wirte performance with frequent fsync calls by up
to 10%.

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.

This patch introduces new sysfs entries for users to control the policy of
in-place-updates, namely IPU, in f2fs.
Sometimes f2fs suffers from performance degradation due to its out-of-place
update policy that produces many additional node block writes.
If the storage performance is very dependant on the amount of data writes
instead of IO patterns, we'd better drop this out-of-place update policy.
This patch suggests 5 polcies and their triggering conditions as follows.
[sysfs entry name = ipu_policy]
0: F2FS_IPU_FORCE all the time,
1: F2FS_IPU_SSR if SSR mode is activated,
2: F2FS_IPU_UTIL if FS utilization is over threashold,
3: F2FS_IPU_SSR_UTIL if SSR mode is activated and FS utilization is over
threashold,
4: F2FS_IPU_DISABLE disable IPU. (=default option)
[sysfs entry name = min_ipu_util]
This parameter controls the threshold to trigger in-place-updates.
The number indicates percentage of the filesystem utilization, and used by
F2FS_IPU_UTIL and F2FS_IPU_SSR_UTIL policies.
For more details, see need_inplace_update() in segment.h.

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.
In my test with tiotest, f2fs sequence write performance is improved by about 7%-10% ,
and this patch has no obvious impact on other performance tests.

Previously f2fs allocates its own bi_private data structure all the time even
though we don't use it. But, can we remove this bi_private allocation?
This patch removes such the additional bi_private allocation.
1. Retrieve f2fs_sb_info from its page->mapping->host->i_sb.
- This removes the usecases of bi_private in end_io.
2. Use bi_private only when we really need it.
- The bi_private is used only when the checkpoint procedure is conducted.
- When conducting the checkpoint, f2fs submits a META_FLUSH bio to wait its bio
completion.
- Since we have no dependancies to remove bi_private now, let's just use
bi_private pointer as the completion pointer.

The f2fs has three bio types, NODE, DATA, and META, and manages some data
structures per each bio types.
The codes are a little bit messy, thus, this patch introduces a bio array
which groups individual data structures as follows.
struct f2fs_bio_info {
struct bio *bio; /* bios to merge */
sector_t last_block_in_bio; /* last block number */
struct mutex io_mutex; /* mutex for bio */
};
struct f2fs_sb_info {
...
struct f2fs_bio_info write_io[NR_PAGE_TYPE]; /* for write bios */
...
};
The code changes from this new data structure are trivial.

This patch adds key functions to activate the small discard feature.
Note that this procedure is conducted during the checkpoint only.
In flush_sit_entries(), when a new dirty sit entry is flushed, f2fs calls
add_discard_addrs() which searches candidates to be discarded.
The candidates should be marked *invalidated* and also previous checkpoint
recognizes it as *valid*.
At the end of a checkpoint procedure, f2fs throws discards based on the
discard entry list.

Previously, do_checkpoint() will call congestion_wait() for waiting the pages
(previous submitted node/meta/data pages) to be written back.
Because congestion_wait() will set a regular period (e.g. HZ / 50 ) for waiting, and
no additional wake up mechanism was introduced if IO ends up before regular period costed.
Yuan Zhong found there is a situation that after the pages have been written back,
but the checkpoint thread still wait for congestion_wait to exit.
So here we store checkpoint task into f2fs_sb when doing checkpoint, it'll wait for IO completes
if there's IO going on, and in the end IO path, wake up checkpoint task when IO ends up.
Thanks to Yuan Zhong's pre work about this problem.
