Previous implementation of aligned pinfile allocation will: - allocate new segment on cold data log no matter whether last used segment is partially used or not, it makes IOs more random; - force concurrent cold data/GCed IO going into warm data area, it can make a bad effect on hot/cold data separation; In this patch, we introduce a new type of log named 'inmem curseg', the differents from normal curseg is: - it reuses existed segment type (CURSEG_XXX_NODE/DATA); - it only exists in memory, its segno, blkofs, summary will not b persisted into checkpoint area; With this new feature, we can enhance scalability of log, special allocators can be created for purposes: - pure lfs allocator for aligned pinfile allocation or file defragmentation - pure ssr allocator for later feature So that, let's update aligned pinfile allocation to use this new inmem curseg fwk.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
