721bd4d5c3 f2fs: use lock-less list(llist) to simplify the flush cmd management
We use flush cmd control to collect many flush cmds, and flush them
together. In this case, we use two list to manage the flush cmds
(collect and dispatch), and one spin lock is used to protect this.
In fact, the lock-less list(llist) is very suitable to this case,
and we use simplify this routine.

-
v2:
-use llist_for_each_entry_safe to fix possible use-after-free issue.
-remove the unused field from struct flush_cmd.
Thanks for Yu's suggestion.

184a5cd2ce f2fs: refactor flush_sit_entries codes for reducing SIT writes
In commit aec71382c6 ("f2fs: refactor flush_nat_entries codes for reducing NAT
writes"), we descripte the issue as below:

"Although building NAT journal in cursum reduce the read/write work for NAT
block, but previous design leave us lower performance when write checkpoint
frequently for these cases:
1. if journal in cursum has already full, it's a bit of waste that we flush all
   nat entries to page for persistence, but not to cache any entries.
2. if journal in cursum is not full, we fill nat entries to journal util
   journal is full, then flush the left dirty entries to disk without merge
   journaled entries, so these journaled entries may be flushed to disk at next
   checkpoint but lost chance to flushed last time."

Actually, we have the same problem in using SIT journal area.

In this patch, firstly we will update sit journal with dirty entries as many as
possible. Secondly if there is no space in sit journal, we will remove all
entries in journal and walk through the whole dirty entry bitmap of sit,
accounting dirty sit entries located in same SIT block to sit entry set. All
entry sets are linked to list sit_entry_set in sm_info, sorted ascending order
by count of entries in set. Later we flush entries in set which have fewest
entries into journal as many as we can, and then flush dense set with merged
entries to disk.

In this way we can use sit journal area more effectively, also we will reduce
SIT update, result in gaining in performance and saving lifetime of flash
device.

In my testing environment, it shows this patch can help to reduce SIT block
update obviously.

virtual machine + hard disk:
fsstress -p 20 -n 400 -l 5
		sit page num	cp count	sit pages/cp
based		2006.50		1349.75		1.486
patched		1566.25		1463.25		1.070

Our latency of merging op is small when handling a great number of dirty SIT
entries in flush_sit_entries:
latency(ns)	dirty sit count
36038		2151
49168		2123
37174		2232

202095a7a0 f2fs: remove rewrite_node_page
I think we need to let the dirty node pages remain in the page cache instead
of rewriting them in their places.
So, after done with successful recovery, write_checkpoint will flush all of them
through the normal write path.
Through this, we can avoid potential error cases in terms of block allocation.

aec71382c6 f2fs: refactor flush_nat_entries codes for reducing NAT writes
Although building NAT journal in cursum reduce the read/write work for NAT
block, but previous design leave us lower performance when write checkpoint
frequently for these cases:
1. if journal in cursum has already full, it's a bit of waste that we flush all
   nat entries to page for persistence, but not to cache any entries.
2. if journal in cursum is not full, we fill nat entries to journal util
   journal is full, then flush the left dirty entries to disk without merge
   journaled entries, so these journaled entries may be flushed to disk at next
   checkpoint but lost chance to flushed last time.

In this patch we merge dirty entries located in same NAT block to nat entry set,
and linked all set to list, sorted ascending order by entries' count of set.
Later we flush entries in sparse set into journal as many as we can, and then
flush merged entries to disk. In this way we can not only gain in performance,
but also save lifetime of flash device.

In my testing environment, it shows this patch can help to reduce NAT block
writes obviously. In hard disk test case: cost time of fsstress is stablely
reduced by about 5%.

1. virtual machine + hard disk:
fsstress -p 20 -n 200 -l 5
		node num	cp count	nodes/cp
based		4599.6		1803.0		2.551

2. virtual machine + 32g micro SD card:
fsstress -p 20 -n 200 -l 1 -w -f chown=0 -f creat=4 -f dwrite=0
-f fdatasync=4 -f fsync=4 -f link=0 -f mkdir=4 -f mknod=4 -f rename=5

		node num	cp count	nodes/cp
based		84.5		43.7		1.933
patched		49.2		40.0		1.23

Our latency of merging op shows not bad when handling extreme case like:
merging a great number of dirty nats:
latency(ns)	dirty nat count
3089219		24922
5129423		27422
4000250		24523

 o fix wrong logic in add_nat_entry when grab a new nat entry set.
 o swith to create slab cache in create_node_manager_caches.

6b4afdd794 f2fs: introduce f2fs_issue_flush to avoid redundant flush issue
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.

df0f8dc0e1 f2fs: avoid unnecessary bio submit when wait page writeback
This patch introduce is_merged_page() to check whether current page is merged
in f2fs bio cache. When page is not in cache, we can avoid submitting bio cache,
resulting in having more chance to merge pages.

479f40c44a f2fs: skip unnecessary node writes during fsync
If multiple redundant fsync calls are triggered, we don't need to write its
node pages with fsync mark continuously.

So, this patch adds FI_NEED_FSYNC to track whether the latest node block is
written with the fsync mark or not.
If the mark was set, a new fsync doesn't need to write a node block.
Otherwise, we should do a new node block with the mark for roll-forward
recovery.

d928bfbfe7 f2fs: introduce fi->i_sem to protect fi's info
This patch introduces fi->i_sem to protect fi's info that includes xattr_ver,
pino, i_nlink.
This enables to remove i_mutex during f2fs_sync_file, resulting in performance
improvement when a number of fsync calls are triggered from many concurrent
threads.

cdfc41c134 f2fs: throttle the memory footprint with a sysfs entry
This patch introduces ram_thresh, a sysfs entry, which controls the memory
footprint used by the free nid list and the nat cache.

Previously, the free nid list was controlled by MAX_FREE_NIDS, while the nat
cache was managed by NM_WOUT_THRESHOLD.
However, this approach cannot be applied dynamically according to the system.

So, this patch adds ram_thresh that users can specify the threshold, which is
in order of 1 / 1024.
For example, if the total ram size is 4GB and the value is set to 10 by default,
f2fs tries to control the number of free nids and nat caches not to consume over
10 * (4GB / 1024) = 10MB.
