commit 81114baa835b59ed02d14aa1d67f91ea874077cd upstream.

Related to https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/4/8/661

Sometimes, we need to write meta data to new allocated block address,
then we will allocate a zeroed page in inner inode's address space, and
fill partial data in it, and leave other place with zero value which means
some fields are initial status.

There are two inner inodes (meta inode and node inode) setting __GFP_ZERO,
I have just checked them, for both of them, we can avoid using __GFP_ZERO,
and do initialization by ourselves to avoid unneeded/redundant zeroing
from mm.

If f2fs is running on top of very small devices, it's worth to avoid abusing
free LBAs. In order to achieve that, this patch introduces some parameter
tuning.

This patch rebuild sit page from sit info in mem instead
of issue a read io.

<content type='text'>
This patch splits need_inplace_update to two functions:
a. should_update_inplace() includes all conditions that we must use IPU.
b. should_update_outplace() includes all conditions that we must use OPU.

So that, in f2fs_ioc_set_pin_file() and f2fs_defragment_range(), we can
use corresponding function to check whether we can trigger OPU/IPU or not.

<content type='text'>
When we are closing to trigger foreground GC, if there are only a few
of dirty metas, we can log these dirty metas in left space of opened
segments instead of triggering foreground GC.

With this patch, total count of foreground GC triggered by
test/generic/* of fstest suit reduce from 254 to 184.

So let's do the check before foreground GC anyway.

There are some cases user didn't update SIT cache under this lock,
so let's use rw_semaphore instead of mutex to enhance concurrently
accessing.

<content type='text'>
There may be extreme case as below:

For one section contains one segment, and there are total 100 segments
with 10% over-privision ratio in f2fs partition, fggc_threshold will
be rounded down to 460 instead of 460.8 as below caclulation:

sbi-&gt;fggc_threshold = div_u64((u64)(main_count - ovp_count) *
			BLKS_PER_SEC(sbi), (main_count - resv_count));

If section usage is as:
60 segments which contain 460 valid blocks
40 segments which contain 462 valid blocks

As valid block number in all sections is large than fggc_threshold, so
none of them will be chosen as candidate due to incorrect fggc_threshold.

Let's just soften the term of choosing foreground GC candidates.

<id>urn:sha1:78997b569f5625f2762b3c4e743c33becdd5d99d</id>
<content type='text'>
There are many different scenarios such as fstrim, umount, urgent or
background where we will issue discards, actually, they need use
different policy in aspect of io aware, discard granularity, delay
interval and so on. But now they just share one common discard policy,
so there will be race when changing policy in between these scenarios,
the interference of changing discard policy will be very serious.

This patch changes to split discard policy for different scenarios.
