"Lots of bug fixes, cleanups and optimizations. In the bug fixes
category, of note is a fix for on-line resizing file systems where the
block size is smaller than the page size (i.e., file systems 1k blocks
on x86, or more interestingly file systems with 4k blocks on Power or
ia64 systems.)
In the cleanup category, the ext4's punch hole implementation was
significantly improved by Lukas Czerner, and now supports bigalloc
file systems. In addition, Jan Kara significantly cleaned up the
write submission code path. We also improved error checking and added
a few sanity checks.
In the optimizations category, two major optimizations deserve
mention. The first is that ext4_writepages() is now used for
nodelalloc and ext3 compatibility mode. This allows writes to be
submitted much more efficiently as a single bio request, instead of
being sent as individual 4k writes into the block layer (which then
relied on the elevator code to coalesce the requests in the block
queue). Secondly, the extent cache shrink mechanism, which was
introduce in 3.9, no longer has a scalability bottleneck caused by the
i_es_lru spinlock. Other optimizations include some changes to reduce
CPU usage and to avoid issuing empty commits unnecessarily."

When sync does it's WB_SYNC_ALL writeback, it issues data Io and
then immediately waits for IO completion. This is done in the
context of the flusher thread, and hence completely ties up the
flusher thread for the backing device until all the dirty inodes
have been synced. On filesystems that are dirtying inodes constantly
and quickly, this means the flusher thread can be tied up for
minutes per sync call and hence badly affect system level write IO
performance as the page cache cannot be cleaned quickly.
We already have a wait loop for IO completion for sync(2), so cut
this out of the flusher thread and delegate it to wait_sb_inodes().
Hence we can do rapid IO submission, and then wait for it all to
complete.
Effect of sync on fsmark before the patch:

And a single sync pass took:
real 0m52.407s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.090s
After the patch, there is no impact on fsmark results, and each
individual sync(2) operation run concurrently with the same fsmark
workload takes roughly 7s:
real 0m6.930s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.039s
IOWs, sync is 7-8x faster on a busy filesystem and does not have an
adverse impact on ongoing async data write operations.

If user requests many data writes and fsync together, the last updated i_size
should be stored to the inode block consistently.
But, previous write_end just marks the inode as dirty and doesn't update its
metadata into its inode block.
After that, fsync just writes the inode block with newly updated data index
excluding inode metadata updates.
So, this patch introduces write_end in which updates inode block too when the
i_size is changed.

This patch removes check_prefree_segments initially designed to enhance the
performance by narrowing the range of LBA usage across the whole block device.
When allocating a new segment, previous f2fs tries to find proper prefree
segments, and then, if finds a segment, it reuses the segment for further
data or node block allocation.
However, I found that this was totally wrong approach since the prefree segments
have several data or node blocks that will be used by the roll-forward mechanism
operated after sudden-power-off.
Let's assume the following scenario.
/* write 8MB with fsync */
for (i = 0; i < 2048; i++) {
offset = i * 4096;
write(fd, offset, 4KB);
fsync(fd);
}
In this case, naive segment allocation sequence will be like:
data segment: x, x+1, x+2, x+3
node segment: y, y+1, y+2, y+3.
But, if we can reuse prefree segments, the sequence can be like:
data segment: x, x+1, y, y+1
node segment: y, y+1, y+2, y+3.
Because, y, y+1, and y+2 became prefree segments one by one, and those are
reused by data allocation.
After conducting this workload, we should consider how to recover the latest
inode with its data.
If we reuse the prefree segments such as y or y+1, we lost the old node blocks
so that f2fs even cannot start roll-forward recovery.
Therefore, I suggest that we should remove reusing prefree segments.

Optimize the while loop condition
Since this condition will always be true and while loop will
be terminated by the following condition in code:
if (segno >= TOTAL_SEGS(sbi))
break;
Hence we can replace the while loop condition with while(1)
instead of always checking for segno to be less than Total segs.
Also we do not need to use TOTAL_SEGS() everytime. We can store

Both hole punch and truncate use ext4_ext_rm_leaf() for removing
blocks. Currently we choose the last extent as the starting
point for removing blocks:
ex = EXT_LAST_EXTENT(eh);
This is OK for truncate but for hole punch we can optimize the extent
selection as the path is already initialized. We could use this
information to select proper starting extent. The code change in this
patch will not affect truncate as for truncate path[depth].p_ext will
always be NULL.

If jbd2_journal_restart() fails the handle will have been disconnected
from the current transaction. In this situation, the handle must not
be used for for any jbd2 function other than jbd2_journal_stop().
Enforce this with by treating a handle which has a NULL transaction
pointer as an aborted handle, and issue a kernel warning if
jbd2_journal_extent(), jbd2_journal_get_write_access(),
jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata(), etc. is called with an invalid handle.
This commit also fixes a bug where jbd2_journal_stop() would trip over
a kernel jbd2 assertion check when trying to free an invalid handle.
Also move the responsibility of setting current->journal_info to
start_this_handle(), simplifying the three users of this function.

The function mpage_released_unused_page() must only be called once;
otherwise the kernel will BUG() when the second call to
mpage_released_unused_page() tries to unlock the pages which had been
unlocked by the first call.
Also restructure the error handling so that we only give up on writing
the dirty pages in the case of ENOSPC where retrying the allocation
won't help. Otherwise, a transient failure, such as a kmalloc()
failure in calling ext4_map_blocks() might cause us to give up on
those pages, leading to a scary message in /var/log/messages plus data
loss.

Once we decrement transaction->t_updates, if this is the last handle
holding the transaction from closing, and once we release the
t_handle_lock spinlock, it's possible for the transaction to commit
and be released. In practice with normal kernels, this probably won't
happen, since the commit happens in a separate kernel thread and it's
unlikely this could all happen within the space of a few CPU cycles.
On the other hand, with a real-time kernel, this could potentially
happen, so save the tid found in transaction->t_tid before we release
t_handle_lock. It would require an insane configuration, such as one
where the jbd2 thread was set to a very high real-time priority,
perhaps because a high priority real-time thread is trying to read or
write to a file system. But some people who use real-time kernels
have been known to do insane things, including controlling
laser-wielding industrial robots. :-)
