I found a bug when testing power-off-recovery as follows.
[Bug Scenario]
1. create a file
2. fsync the file
3. reboot w/o any sync
4. try to recover the file
- found its fsync mark
- found its dentry mark
: try to recover its dentry
- get its file name
- get its parent inode number
: here we got zero value
The reason why we get the wrong parent inode number is that we didn't
synchronize the inode page with its newly created inode information perfectly.
Especially, previous f2fs stores fi->i_pino and writes it to the cached
node page in a wrong order, which incurs the zero-valued i_pino during the
recovery.
So, this patch modifies the creation flow to fix the synchronization order of
inode page with its inode.

Currently f2fs recovers the dentry of fsynced files.
When power-off-recovery is conducted, this newly recovered inode should increase
node block count as well as inode block count.
This patch resolves this inconsistency that results in:
1. create a file
2. write data
3. fsync
4. reboot without sync
5. mount and recover the file
6. node block count is 1 and inode block count is 2
: fall into the inconsistent state
7. unlink the file
: trigger the following BUG_ON

Currently there is no way to truncate partial page where the end
truncate point is not at the end of the page. This is because it was not
needed and the functionality was enough for file system truncate
operation to work properly. However more file systems now support punch
hole feature and it can benefit from mm supporting truncating page just
up to the certain point.
Specifically, with this functionality truncate_inode_pages_range() can
be changed so it supports truncating partial page at the end of the
range (currently it will BUG_ON() if 'end' is not at the end of the
page).
This commit changes the invalidatepage() address space operation
prototype to accept range to be invalidated and update all the instances
for it.
We also change the block_invalidatepage() in the same way and actually
make a use of the new length argument implementing range invalidation.
Actual file system implementations will follow except the file systems
where the changes are really simple and should not change the behaviour
in any way .Implementation for truncate_page_range() which will be able
to accept page unaligned ranges will follow as well.

After build_free_nids() searches free nid candidates from nat pages and
current journal blocks, it checks all the candidates if they are allocated
so that the nat cache has its nid with an allocated block address.
In this procedure, previously we used
list_for_each_entry_safe(fnid, next_fnid, &nm_i->free_nid_list, list).
But, this is not covered by free_nid_list_lock, resulting in null pointer bug.
This patch moves this checking routine inside add_free_nid() in order not to use
the spin_lock.

a sequential calling of alloc_nid() and alloc_nid_failed(), some other

When testing f2fs on an SSD, I found some 128 page IOs followed by 1 page IO
were issued by f2fs_write_node_pages.
This means that there were some mishandling flows which degrades performance.
Previous f2fs_write_node_pages determines the number of pages to be written,
nr_to_write, as follows.
1. The bio_get_nr_vecs returns 129 pages.
2. The bio_alloc makes a room for 128 pages.
3. The initial 128 pages go into one bio.
4. The existing bio is submitted, and a new bio is prepared for the last 1 page.
5. Finally, sync_node_pages submits the last 1 page bio.
The problem is from the use of bio_get_nr_vecs, so this patch replace it
with max_hw_blocks using queue_max_sectors.

try_to_free_nats() is usually called with parameter nr_shrink as
"nm_i->nat_cnt - NM_WOUT_THRESHOLD"
by flush_nat_entries() during checkpointing process.
However, this is inconsistent with the actual threshold check as
"if (nm_i->nat_cnt < 2 * NM_WOUT_THRESHOLD)"
, which will ignore the free_nats requests when
NM_WOUT_THRESHOLD < nm_i->nat_cnt < 2 * NM_WOUT_THRESHOLD
So fix the threshold check condition.

In order to avoid build_free_nid lock contention, let's change the order of
function calls as follows.
At first, check whether there is enough free nids.
- If available, just get a free nid with spin_lock without any overhead.
- Otherwise, conduct build_free_nids.
: scan nat pages, journal nat entries, and nat cache entries.
We should consider carefullly not to serve free nids intermediately made by
build_free_nids.
We can get stable free nids only after build_free_nids is done.

In the previous version, f2fs uses global locks according to the usage types,
such as directory operations, block allocation, block write, and so on.
Reference the following lock types in f2fs.h.
enum lock_type {
RENAME, /* for renaming operations */
DENTRY_OPS, /* for directory operations */
DATA_WRITE, /* for data write */
DATA_NEW, /* for data allocation */
DATA_TRUNC, /* for data truncate */
NODE_NEW, /* for node allocation */
NODE_TRUNC, /* for node truncate */
NODE_WRITE, /* for node write */
NR_LOCK_TYPE,
};
In that case, we lose the performance under the multi-threading environment,
since every types of operations must be conducted one at a time.
In order to address the problem, let's share the locks globally with a mutex
array regardless of any types.
So, let users grab a mutex and perform their jobs in parallel as much as
possbile.
For this, I propose a new global lock scheme as follows.
0. Data structure
- f2fs_sb_info -> mutex_lock[NR_GLOBAL_LOCKS]
- f2fs_sb_info -> node_write
1. mutex_lock_op(sbi)
- try to get an avaiable lock from the array.
- returns the index of the gottern lock variable.
2. mutex_unlock_op(sbi, index of the lock)
- unlock the given index of the lock.
3. mutex_lock_all(sbi)
- grab all the locks in the array before the checkpoint.
4. mutex_unlock_all(sbi)
- release all the locks in the array after checkpoint.
5. block_operations()
- call mutex_lock_all()
- sync_dirty_dir_inodes()
- grab node_write
- sync_node_pages()
Note that,
the pairs of mutex_lock_op()/mutex_unlock_op() and
mutex_lock_all()/mutex_unlock_all() should be used together.

In get_node_page, we do not need to call lock_page all the time.
If the node page is cached as uptodate,
1. grab_cache_page locks the page,
2. read_node_page unlocks the page, and
3. lock_page is called for further process.
Let's avoid this.

In the checkpoint flow, the f2fs investigates the total nat cache entries.
Previously, if an entry has NULL_ADDR, f2fs drops the entry and adds the
obsolete nid to the free nid list.
However, this free nid will be reused sooner, resulting in its nat entry miss.
In order to avoid this, we don't need to drop the nat cache entry at this moment.

The build_free_nid should not add free nids over nm_i->max_nid.
But, there was a hole that invalid free nid was added by the following scenario.
Let's suppose nm_i->max_nid = 150 and the last NAT page has 100 ~ 200 nids.
build_free_nids
- get_current_nat_page loads the last NAT page
- scan_nat_page can add 100 ~ 200 nids
-> Bug here!
So, when scanning an NAT page, we should check each candidate whether it is
over max_nid or not.
