Sometimes we keep dumb when IO error occur in lower layer device, so user
will not receive any error return value for some operation, but actually,
the operation did not succeed.
This sould be avoided, so this patch reports such kind of error to user.

This patch introduces a new ioctl F2FS_IOC_DEFRAGMENT to support file
defragment in a specified range of regular file.
This ioctl can be used in very limited workload: if user expects high
sequential read performance in randomly written file, this interface
can be used for defragmentation, after that file can be written as
continuous as possible in the device.
Meanwhile, it has side-effect, it will make holes in segments where
blocks located originally, so it's better to trigger GC to eliminate
fragment in segments.

Since we use different page cache (normally inode's page cache for R/W
and meta inode's page cache for GC) to cache the same physical block
which is belong to an encrypted inode. Writeback of these two page
cache should be exclusive, but now we didn't handle writeback state
well, so there may be potential racing problem:
a)
kworker: f2fs_gc:
- f2fs_write_data_pages
- f2fs_write_data_page
- do_write_data_page
- write_data_page
- f2fs_submit_page_mbio
(page#1 in inode's page cache was queued
in f2fs bio cache, and be ready to write
to new blkaddr)
- gc_data_segment
- move_encrypted_block
- pagecache_get_page
(page#2 in meta inode's page cache
was cached with the invalid datas
of physical block located in new
blkaddr)
- f2fs_submit_page_mbio
(page#1 was submitted, later, page#2
with invalid data will be submitted)
b)
f2fs_gc:
- gc_data_segment
- move_encrypted_block
- f2fs_submit_page_mbio
(page#1 in meta inode's page cache was
queued in f2fs bio cache, and be ready
to write to new blkaddr)
user thread:
- f2fs_write_begin
- f2fs_submit_page_bio
(we submit the request to block layer
to update page#2 in inode's page cache
with physical block located in new
blkaddr, so here we may read gabbage
data from new blkaddr since GC hasn't
writebacked the page#1 yet)
This patch fixes above potential racing problem for encrypted inode.

For normal inodes, their pages are allocated with __GFP_FS, which can cause
filesystem calls when reclaiming memory.
This can incur a dead lock condition accordingly.
So, this patch addresses this problem by introducing
f2fs_grab_cache_page(.., bool for_write), which calls
grab_cache_page_write_begin() with AOP_FLAG_NOFS.

The periodic checkpoint can resolve the previous issue.
So, now we can use this again to improve the reported performance regression:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/10/8/20
This reverts commit 15bec0ff5a9ba6d203178fa8772259df6207942a.
Previously, we skip dentry block writes when wbc is SYNC_NONE with no memory
pressure and the number of dirty pages is pretty small.
But, we didn't skip for normal data writes, which gives us not much big impact
on overall performance.
Moreover, by skipping some data writes, kworker falls into infinite loop to try
to write blocks, when many dir inodes have only one dentry block.
So, this patch removes skipping data writes.

In this patch, we try to reorganize f2fs_map_blocks to make block mapping
flow more clear by using following structure:
/* check status of mapping */
if (unmapped) {
/* blkaddr == NULL_ADDR || blkaddr == NEW_ADDR */
if (create) {
/* write path, handle dio write case here */
alloc_and_map;
} else {
/*
* handle read cases from all call paths:
* 1. generic read;
* 2. dio read;
* 3. fiemap;
* 4. bmap
*/
}
}
/* map buffer_header */
Besides, this patch handles the missing case correctly for dio write:
When we fail in __allocate_data_blocks, then in f2fs_map_blocks, we will
not allocate blocks correctly for preallocated blocks, but returning with
an unmapped buffer head, which will result in failure of dio write.

We have potential overflow issue when calculating size of object, when
we left shift index with PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT bits, if type of index has only
32-bits space in 32-bit architecture, left shifting will incur overflow,
i.e:
pgoff_t index = 0xFFFFFFFF;
loff_t size = index << PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT;
size: 0xFFFFF000
So we should cast index with 64-bits type to avoid this issue.

Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
"The major work includes fixing and enhancing the existing extent_cache
feature, which has been well settling down so far and now it becomes a
default mount option accordingly.
Also, this version newly registers a f2fs memory shrinker to reclaim
several objects consumed by a couple of data structures in order to
avoid memory pressures.
Another new feature is to add ioctl(F2FS_GARBAGE_COLLECT) which
triggers a cleaning job explicitly by users.
Most of the other patches are to fix bugs occurred in the corner cases
across the whole code area"
