- Fix for a memory leak in the error path in the block ioctl code
from Christian Engelmayer.
- Header export fix from CaiZhiyong.
- Finally the immutable biovec changes from Kent Overstreet. This
enables some nice future work on making arbitrarily sized bios
possible, and splitting more efficient. Related fixes to immutable
bio_vecs:
- dm-cache immutable fixup from Mike Snitzer.
- btrfs immutable fixup from Muthu Kumar.
- bio-integrity fix from Nic Bellinger, which is also going to stable"

Previously during SSR and GC, the maximum number of retrials to find a victim
segment was hard-coded by MAX_VICTIM_SEARCH, 4096 by default.
This number makes an effect on IO locality, when SSR mode is activated, which
results in performance fluctuation on some low-end devices.
If max_victim_search = 4, the victim will be searched like below.
("D" represents a dirty segment, and "*" indicates a selected victim segment.)
D1 D2 D3 D4 D5 D6 D7 D8 D9

When considering a bunch of data writes with very frequent fsync calls, we
are able to think the following performance regression.
N: Node IO, D: Data IO, IO scheduler: cfq
Issue pending IOs
D1 D2 D3 D4
D1 D2 D3 D4 N1
D2 D3 D4 N1 N2
N1 D3 D4 N2 D1
--> N1 can be selected by cfq becase of the same priority of N and D.
Then D3 and D4 would be delayed, resuling in performance degradation.
So, when processing the fsync call, it'd better give higher priority to data IOs
than node IOs by assigning WRITE and WRITE_SYNC respectively.
This patch improves the random wirte performance with frequent fsync calls by up
to 10%.

Here is a case which could read inline page data not from first page.
1. write inline data
2. lseek to offset 4096
3. read 4096 bytes from offset 4096
(read_inline_data read inline data page to non-first page,
And previously VFS has add this page to page cache)
4. ftruncate offset 8192
5. read 4096 bytes from offset 4096
(we meet this updated page with inline data in cache)
So we should leave this page with inited data and uptodate flag

The truncate_partial_nodes puts pages incorrectly in the following two cases.
Note that the value for argc 'depth' can only be 2 or 3.
Please see truncate_inode_blocks() and truncate_partial_nodes().
1) An err is occurred in the first 'for' loop
When err is occurred with depth = 2, pages[0] is invalid, so this page doesn't
need to be put. There is no problem, however, when depth is 3, it doesn't put
the pages correctly where pages[0] is valid and pages[1] is invalid.
In this case, depth is set to 2 (ref to statemnt depth = i + 1), and then
'goto fail'.
In label 'fail', for (i = depth - 3; i >= 0; i--) cannot meet the condition
because i = -1, so pages[0] cann't be put.
2) An err happened in the second 'for' loop
Now we've got pages[0] with depth = 2, or we've got pages[0] and pages[1]
with depth = 3. When an err is detected, we need 'goto fail' to put such
the pages.
When depth is 2, in label 'fail', for (i = depth - 3; i >= 0; i--) cann't
meet the condition because i = -1, so pages[0] cann't be put.
When depth is 3, in label 'fail', for (i = depth - 3; i >= 0; i--) can
only put pages[0], pages[1] also cann't be put.
Note that 'depth' has been changed before first 'goto fail' (ref to statemnt
depth = i + 1), so passing this modified 'depth' to the tracepoint,
trace_f2fs_truncate_partial_nodes, is also incorrect.

The get_dnode_of_data nullifies inode and node page when error is occurred.
There are two cases that passes inode page into get_dnode_of_data().
1. make_empty_dir()
-> get_new_data_page()
-> f2fs_reserve_block(ipage)
-> get_dnode_of_data()
2. f2fs_convert_inline_data()
-> __f2fs_convert_inline_data()
-> f2fs_reserve_block(ipage)
-> get_dnode_of_data()
This patch adds correct error handling codes when get_dnode_of_data() returns
an error.
At first, f2fs_reserve_block() calls f2fs_put_dnode() whenever reserve_new_block
returns an error.
So, the rule of f2fs_reserve_block() is to nullify inode page when there is any
error internally.
Finally, two callers of f2fs_reserve_block() should call f2fs_put_dnode()
appropriately if they got an error since successful f2fs_reserve_block().

This patch refactors f2fs_convert_inline_data to check a couple of conditions
internally for deciding whether it needs to convert inline_data or not.
So, the new f2fs_convert_inline_data initially checks:
1) f2fs_has_inline_data(), and
2) the data size to be changed.
If the inode has inline_data but the size to fill is less than MAX_INLINE_DATA,
then we don't need to convert the inline_data with data allocation.

Hook inline data read/write, truncate, fallocate, setattr, etc.
Files need meet following 2 requirement to inline:
1) file size is not greater than MAX_INLINE_DATA;
2) file doesn't pre-allocate data blocks by fallocate().
FI_INLINE_DATA will not be set while creating a new regular inode because
most of the files are bigger than ~3.4K. Set FI_INLINE_DATA only when
data is submitted to block layer, ranther than set it while creating a new
inode, this also avoids converting data from inline to normal data block
and vice versa.
While writting inline data to inode block, the first data block should be
released if the file has a block indexed by i_addr[0].
On the other hand, when a file operation is appied to a file with inline
data, we need to test if this file can remain inline by doing this
operation, otherwise it should be convert into normal file by reserving
a new data block, copying inline data to this new block and clear
FI_INLINE_DATA flag. Because reserve a new data block here will make use
of i_addr[0], if we save inline data in i_addr[0..872], then the first
4 bytes would be overwriten. This problem can be avoided simply by
not using i_addr[0] for inline data.

Previously, f2fs doesn't support direct IOs with high performance, which throws
every write requests via the buffered write path, resulting in highly
performance degradation due to memory opeations like copy_from_user.
This patch introduces a new direct IO path in which every write requests are
processed by generic blockdev_direct_IO() with enhanced get_block function.
The get_data_block() in f2fs handles:
1. if original data blocks are allocates, then give them to blockdev.
2. otherwise,
a. preallocate requested block addresses
b. do not use extent cache for better performance
c. give the block addresses to blockdev
This policy induces that:
- new allocated data are sequentially written to the disk
- updated data are randomly written to the disk.
- f2fs gives consistency on its file meta, not file data.

This patch introduces new sysfs entries for users to control the policy of
in-place-updates, namely IPU, in f2fs.
Sometimes f2fs suffers from performance degradation due to its out-of-place
update policy that produces many additional node block writes.
If the storage performance is very dependant on the amount of data writes
instead of IO patterns, we'd better drop this out-of-place update policy.
This patch suggests 5 polcies and their triggering conditions as follows.
[sysfs entry name = ipu_policy]
0: F2FS_IPU_FORCE all the time,
1: F2FS_IPU_SSR if SSR mode is activated,
2: F2FS_IPU_UTIL if FS utilization is over threashold,
3: F2FS_IPU_SSR_UTIL if SSR mode is activated and FS utilization is over
threashold,
4: F2FS_IPU_DISABLE disable IPU. (=default option)
[sysfs entry name = min_ipu_util]
This parameter controls the threshold to trigger in-place-updates.
The number indicates percentage of the filesystem utilization, and used by
F2FS_IPU_UTIL and F2FS_IPU_SSR_UTIL policies.

Previously f2fs submits most of write requests using WRITE_SYNC, but f2fs_write_data_pages
submits last write requests by sync_mode flags callers pass.
This causes a performance problem since continuous pages with different sync flags
can't be merged in cfq IO scheduler(thanks yu chao for pointing it out), and synchronous
requests often take more time.
This patch makes the following modifies to DATA writebacks:
1. every page will be written back using the sync mode caller pass.
2. only pages with the same sync mode can be merged in one bio request.
These changes are restricted to DATA pages.Other types of writebacks are modified
To remain synchronous.
In my test with tiotest, f2fs sequence write performance is improved by about 7%-10% ,
and this patch has no obvious impact on other performance tests.

This patch adds unlikely() macro into the most of codes.
The basic rule is to add that when:
- checking unusual errors,
- checking page mappings,
- and the other unlikely conditions.
Change log from v1:
- Don't add unlikely for the NULL test and error test: advised by Andi Kleen.
