Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
"The major change in this version is mitigating cpu overheads on write
paths by replacing redundant inode page updates with mark_inode_dirty
calls. And we tried to reduce lock contentions as well to improve
filesystem scalability. Other feature is setting F2FS automatically
when detecting host-managed SMR.
Enhancements:
- ioctl to move a range of data between files
- inject orphan inode errors
- avoid flush commands congestion
- support lazytime
Bug fixes:
- return proper results for some dentry operations
- fix deadlock in add_link failure
- disable extent_cache for fcollapse/finsert"
* tag 'for-f2fs-4.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jaegeuk/f2fs: (68 commits)
f2fs: clean up coding style and redundancy
f2fs: get victim segment again after new cp
f2fs: handle error case with f2fs_bug_on
f2fs: avoid data race when deciding checkpoin in f2fs_sync_file
f2fs: support an ioctl to move a range of data blocks
f2fs: fix to report error number of f2fs_find_entry
f2fs: avoid memory allocation failure due to a long length
f2fs: reset default idle interval value
f2fs: use blk_plug in all the possible paths
f2fs: fix to avoid data update racing between GC and DIO
f2fs: add maximum prefree segments
f2fs: disable extent_cache for fcollapse/finsert inodes
f2fs: refactor __exchange_data_block for speed up
f2fs: fix ERR_PTR returned by bio
f2fs: avoid mark_inode_dirty
f2fs: move i_size_write in f2fs_write_end
f2fs: fix to avoid redundant discard during fstrim
f2fs: avoid mismatching block range for discard
f2fs: fix incorrect f_bfree calculation in ->statfs
f2fs: use percpu_rw_semaphore
...
These two are confusing leftover of the old world order, combining
values of the REQ_OP_ and REQ_ namespaces. For callers that don't
special case we mostly just replace bi_rw with bio_data_dir or
op_is_write, except for the few cases where a switch over the REQ_OP_
values makes more sense. Any check for READA is replaced with an
explicit check for REQ_RAHEAD. Also remove the READA alias for
REQ_RAHEAD.

This patch reverts 19a5f5e2ef (f2fs: drop any block plugging),
and adds blk_plug in write paths additionally.
The main reason is that blk_start_plug can be used to wake up from low-power
mode before submitting further bios.

This patch adds f2fs_set_page_dirty_nobuffer() copied from __set_page_dirty_buffer.
When appending 4KB blocks in f2fs on pmem with multiple cores, this improves the
overall performance.

In procedure of synchonized read, after sending out the read request, reader
will try to lock the page for waiting device to finish the read jobs and
unlock the page, but meanwhile, truncater will race with reader, so after
reader get lock of the page, it should check page's mapping to detect
whether someone has truncated the page in advance, then reader has the
chance to do the retry if truncation was done, otherwise read can be failed
due to previous condition check.

The readahead nat pages are more likely to be reclaimed quickly, so it'd better
to gather more free nids in advance.
And, let's keep some free nids as much as possible.

Commit aaf9607516 ("f2fs: check node page
contents all the time") pointed out that "sometimes it was reported that
its contents was missing", so it checks the page's mapping and contents.
When "nid != nid_of_node(page)", ERR_PTR(-EIO) will be returned to the
caller. However, commit e1c51b9f1d ("f2fs:
clean up node page updating flow") moves "nid != nid_of_node(page)" test
to "f2fs_bug_on(sbi, nid != nid_of_node(page))", this will return a
wrong page to the caller when F2FS_CHECK_FS is off when "sometimes it
was reported that its contents was missing" happens.
This patch restores to check node page contents all the time, and
returns the errno to make the caller known something is wrong and avoid
to use the page. This patch also moves f2fs_bug_on to its proper location.

This patch reduces to call them across the whole tree.
- sync_inode_page()
- update_inode_page()
- update_inode()
- f2fs_write_inode()
Instead, checkpoint will flush all the dirty inode metadata before syncing
node pages.
Note that, this is doable, since we call mark_inode_dirty_sync() for all
inode's field change which needs to update on-disk inode as well.

This patch calls mark_inode_dirty_sync() for the following on-disk inode
changes.

-> i_current_depth
-> i_xattr_nid

For foreground GC, we cache node blocks in victim section and set them
dirty, then we call sync_node_pages to flush these node pages, but
meanwhile, those node pages which does not locate in victim section
will be flushed together, so more bandwidth and continuous free space
would be occupied.
So for this condition, it's better to leave those unrelated node page
in cache for further write hit, and let CP or VM to flush them afterward.

In order to give atomic writes, we should consider power failure during
sync_node_pages in fsync.
So, this patch marks fsync flag only in the last dnode block.
