      f2fs: support volatile operations for transient data · 02a1335f
      Jaegeuk Kim authored
      This patch adds support for volatile writes which keep data pages in memory
      until f2fs_evict_inode is called by iput.
      
      For instance, we can use this feature for the sqlite database as follows.
      While supporting atomic writes for main database file, we can keep its journal
      data temporarily in the page cache by the following sequence.
      
      1. open
       -> ioctl(F2FS_IOC_START_VOLATILE_WRITE);
      2. writes
       : keep all the data in the page cache.
      3. flush to the database file with atomic writes
        a. ioctl(F2FS_IOC_START_ATOMIC_WRITE);
        b. writes
        c. ioctl(F2FS_IOC_COMMIT_ATOMIC_WRITE);
      4. close
       -> drop the cached data

      f2fs: support atomic writes · 88b88a66
      Jaegeuk Kim authored
      This patch introduces a very limited functionality for atomic write support.
      In order to support atomic write, this patch adds two ioctls:
       o F2FS_IOC_START_ATOMIC_WRITE
       o F2FS_IOC_COMMIT_ATOMIC_WRITE
      
      The database engine should be aware of the following sequence.
      1. open
       -> ioctl(F2FS_IOC_START_ATOMIC_WRITE);
      2. writes
        : all the written data will be treated as atomic pages.
      3. commit
       -> ioctl(F2FS_IOC_COMMIT_ATOMIC_WRITE);
        : this flushes all the data blocks to the disk, which will be shown all or
        nothing by f2fs recovery procedure.
      4. repeat to #2.
      
      The IO pattens should be:
      
        ,- START_ATOMIC_WRITE                  ,- COMMIT_ATOMIC_WRITE
       CP | D D D D D D | FSYNC | D D D D | FSYNC ...
                            `- COMMIT_ATOMIC_WRITE

      f2fs: use more free segments until SSR is activated · 95dd8973
      Jaegeuk Kim authored
      Previously, f2fs activates SSR if the # of free segments reaches to the # of
      overprovisioned segments.
      In this case, SSR starts to use dirty segments only, so that the overprovisoned
      space cannot be selected for new data.
      This means that we have no chance to utilizae the overprovisioned space at all.
      
      This patch fixes that by allowing LFS allocations until the # of free segments
      reaches to the last threshold, reserved space.

      f2fs: fix to search whole dirty segmap when get_victim · 210f41bc
      Chao Yu authored
      In ->get_victim we get max_search value from dirty_i->nr_dirty without
      protection of seglist_lock, after that, nr_dirty can be increased/decreased
      before we hold seglist_lock lock.
      Then in main loop we attempt to traverse all dirty section one time to find
      victim section, but it's not accurate to use max_search as the total loop count,
      because we might lose checking several sections or check sections redundantly
      for the case of nr_dirty are increased or decreased previously.

      f2fs: fix to clean previous mount option when remount_fs · 26666c8a
      Chao Yu authored
      In manual of mount, we descript remount as below:

      After  this call all old mount options are replaced and arbitrary stuff from
      fstab is ignored, except the loop= option which is internally generated and
      maintained by the mount command."

      f2fs: support large sector size · 55cf9cb6
      Chao Yu authored
      Block size in f2fs is 4096 bytes, so theoretically, f2fs can support 4096 bytes
      sector device at maximum. But now f2fs only support 512 bytes size sector, so
      block device such as zRAM which uses page cache as its block storage space will
      not be mounted successfully as mismatch between sector size of zRAM and sector
      size of f2fs supported.
      
      In this patch we support large sector size in f2fs, so block device with sector
      size of 512/1024/2048/4096 bytes can be supported in f2fs.

      f2fs: fix to truncate blocks past EOF in ->setattr · 09db6a2e

      By using FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE in ->fallocate of f2fs, we can fallocate block past

      f2fs: fix roll-forward missing scenarios · 441ac5cb
      Jaegeuk Kim authored
      We can summarize the roll forward recovery scenarios as follows.
      
      [Term] F: fsync_mark, D: dentry_mark
      
      1. inode(x) | CP | inode(x) | dnode(F)
      -> Update the latest inode(x).
      
      2. inode(x) | CP | inode(F) | dnode(F)
      -> No problem.
      
      3. inode(x) | CP | dnode(F) | inode(x)
      -> Recover to the latest dnode(F), and drop the last inode(x)
      
      4. inode(x) | CP | dnode(F) | inode(F)
      -> No problem.
      
      5. CP | inode(x) | dnode(F)
      -> The inode(DF) was missing. Should drop this dnode(F).
      
      6. CP | inode(DF) | dnode(F)
      -> No problem.
      
      7. CP | dnode(F) | inode(DF)
      -> If f2fs_iget fails, then goto next to find inode(DF).
      
      8. CP | dnode(F) | inode(x)
      -> If f2fs_iget fails, then goto next to find inode(DF).
         But it will fail due to no inode(DF).
      
      So, this patch adds some missing points such as #1, #5, #7, and #8.

      f2fs: fix conditions to remain recovery information in f2fs_sync_file · 88bd02c9
      Jaegeuk Kim authored
      This patch revisited whole the recovery information during the f2fs_sync_file.
      
      In this patch, there are three information to make a decision.
      
      a) IS_CHECKPOINTED,	/* is it checkpointed before? */
      b) HAS_FSYNCED_INODE,	/* is the inode fsynced before? */
      c) HAS_LAST_FSYNC,	/* has the latest node fsync mark? */
      
      And, the scenarios for our rule are based on:
      
      [Term] F: fsync_mark, D: dentry_mark
      
      1. inode(x) | CP | inode(x) | dnode(F)
      2. inode(x) | CP | inode(F) | dnode(F)
      3. inode(x) | CP | dnode(F) | inode(x) | inode(F)
      4. inode(x) | CP | dnode(F) | inode(F)
      5. CP | inode(x) | dnode(F) | inode(DF)
      6. CP | inode(DF) | dnode(F)
      7. CP | dnode(F) | inode(DF)
      8. CP | dnode(F) | inode(x) | inode(DF)
      
      For example, #3, the three conditions should be changed as follows.
      
         inode(x) | CP | dnode(F) | inode(x) | inode(F)
      a)    x       o      o          o          o
      b)    x       x      x          x          o
      c)    x       o      o          x          o
      
      If f2fs_sync_file stops   ------^,
       it should write inode(F)    --------------^
      
      So, the need_inode_block_update should return true, since
       c) get_nat_flag(e, HAS_LAST_FSYNC), is false.
      
      For example, #8,
            CP | alloc | dnode(F) | inode(x) | inode(DF)
      a)    o      x        x          x          x
      b)    x               x          x          o
      c)    o               o          x          o
      
      If f2fs_sync_file stops   -------^,
       it should write inode(DF)    --------------^
      
      Note that, the roll-forward policy should follow this rule, which means,
      if there are any missing blocks, we doesn't need to recover that inode.

      f2fs: refactor flush_sit_entries codes for reducing SIT writes · 184a5cd2
      Chao Yu authored
      In commit aec71382 ("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
