Jaegeuk Kim 531ad7d58c f2fs: avoid deadlock during evict after f2fs_gc

   - write_cache_pages
    - f2fs_write_data_page

o Deadlock case #2

Thread 1:
- __writeback_single_inode
 : set I_SYNC
  - do_writepages
   - f2fs_write_data_page
    - f2fs_balance_fs
     - f2fs_gc
      - iput
       - evict
        - inode_wait_for_writeback(I_SYNC)

In order to avoid this, even though iput is called with the zero-reference
count, we need to stop the eviction procedure if the inode is on writeback.
So this patch links f2fs_drop_inode which checks the I_SYNC flag.

Namjae Jeon a2a4a7e4ab f2fs: add tracepoints for sync & inode operations
Add tracepoints in f2fs for tracing the syncing
operations like filesystem sync, file sync enter/exit.
It will helf to trace the code under debugging scenarios.

Also add tracepoints for tracing the various inode operations
like building inode, eviction of inode, link/unlike of
inodes.

Namjae Jeon e66509f03e f2fs: make is_multimedia_file code align with its name
The code conditions put inside the function is_multimedia_file are
reverse to the name i.e, we need to negate the return to actually
check if the file is a multimedia file. So, change the code and usage
path to align both the name and comparision conditions.

Jaegeuk Kim 399368372e f2fs: introduce a new global lock scheme
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.

Jaegeuk Kim 953a3e27e1 f2fs: fix to give correct parent inode number for roll forward
When we recover fsync'ed data after power-off-recovery, we should guarantee
that any parent inode number should be correct for each direct inode blocks.

So, let's make the following rules.

- The fsync should do checkpoint to all the inodes that were experienced hard
links.

- So, the only normal files can be recovered by roll-forward.

Leon Romanovsky 9836b8b949 f2fs: unify string length declarations and usage
This patch is intended to unify string length declarations and usage.
There are number of calls to strlen which return size_t object.
The size of this object depends on compiler if it will be bigger,
equal or even smaller than an unsigned int

Jaegeuk Kim 1efef83202 f2fs: do f2fs_balance_fs in front of dir operations
In order to conserve free sections to deal with the worst-case scenarios, f2fs
should be able to freeze all the directory operations especially when there are
not enough free sections. The f2fs_balance_fs() is for this use.

When FS utilization becomes almost 100%, directory operations can be failed due
to -ENOSPC frequently, which produces some dirty node pages occasionally.

Previously, in such a case, f2fs_balance_fs() is not able to be triggered since
it is triggered only if the directory operation ends up with success.

So, this patch triggers f2fs_balance_fs() at first before handling directory
operations.
