The xattr_handler operations are currently all passed a file system
specific flags value which the operations can use to disambiguate between
different handlers; some file systems use that to distinguish the xattr
namespace, for example. In some oprations, it would be useful to also have
access to the handler prefix. To allow that, pass a pointer to the handler
to operations instead of the flags value alone.

In f2fs_shrink_extent_tree we should stop shrink flow if we have already

Now, in ->symlink of f2fs, we kept the fixed invoking order between
f2fs_add_link and page_symlink since we should init node info firstly
in f2fs_add_link, then such node info can be used in page_symlink.
But we didn't fix to release meta info which was done before page_symlink
in our error path, so this will leave us corrupt symlink entry in its
parent's dentry page. Fix this issue by adding f2fs_unlink in the error
path for removing such linking.

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.

After finishing building free nid cache, we will try to readahead
asynchronously 4 more pages for the next reloading, the count of
readahead nid pages is fixed.
In some case, like SMR drive, read less sectors with fixed count
each time we trigger RA may be low efficient, since we will face
high seeking overhead, so we'd better let user to configure this
parameter from sysfs in specific workload.

When there is no free nid in nid cache, all new node allocaters stop their
job to wait for reloading of free nids, however reloading is synchronous as
we will read 4 NAT pages for building nid cache, it cause the long latency.
This patch tries to readahead more NAT pages with READA request flag after
reloading of free nids. It helps to improve performance when users allocate
node id intensively.

Now, we use ra_meta_pages to reads continuous physical blocks as much as
possible to improve performance of following reads. However, ra_meta_pages
uses a synchronous readahead approach by submitting bio with READ, as READ
is with high priority, it can not be used in the case of preloading blocks,
and it's not sure when these RAed pages will be used.
This patch supports asynchronous readahead in ra_meta_pages by tagging bio
with READA flag in order to allow preloading.

In recovery or checkpoint flow, we grab pages temperarily in meta inode's
mapping for caching temperary data, actually, datas in these pages were
not meta data of f2fs, but still we tag them with REQ_META flag. However,
lower device like eMMC may do some optimization for data of such type.
So in order to avoid wrong optimization, we'd better remove such flag
for temperary non-meta pages.

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 f2fs_collapse_range and f2fs_insert_range changes the block addresses
directly. But that can cause uncovered SSA updates.
In that case, we need to give up to change the block addresses and do buffered

The periodic checkpoint can resolve the previous issue.

This reverts commit 15bec0ff5a9ba6d203178fa8772259df6207942a.
This patch introduces F2FS_GOING_DOWN_METAFLUSH which flushes meta pages like
SSA blocks and then blocks all the writes.
This can be used by power-failure tests.
