While comparing signed and unsigned variables, compiler will converts the
signed value to unsigned one, due to this reason, {in,de}crease_sleep_time
may return overflowed result.

This patch adds a sysfs entry to control urgent mode for background GC.
If this is set, background GC thread conducts GC with gc_urgent_sleep_time
all the time.

This patch drops in batches gc triggered through ioctl, since user
can easily control the gc by designing the loop around the ->ioctl.
We support synchronous gc by forcing using FG_GC in f2fs_gc, so with
it, user can make sure that in this round all blocks gced were
persistent in the device until ioctl returned.

When background gc is off, the only way to trigger gc is executing
a force gc in some operations who wants to grab space in disk.
The executing condition is limited: to execute force gc, we should
wait for the time when there is almost no more free section for LFS
allocation. This seems not reasonable for our user who wants to
control triggering gc by himself.
This patch introduces F2FS_IOC_GARBAGE_COLLECT interface for
triggering garbage collection by using ioctl. It provides our users
one more option to trigger gc.

There are two slab cache inode_entry_slab and winode_slab using the same
structure as below:
struct dir_inode_entry {
struct list_head list; /* list head */
struct inode *inode; /* vfs inode pointer */
};
struct inode_entry {
struct list_head list;
struct inode *inode;
};
It's a little waste that the two cache can not share their memory space for each
other.
So in this patch we remove one redundant winode_slab slab cache, then use more
universal name struct inode_entry as remaining data structure name of slab,
finally we reuse the inode_entry_slab to store dirty dir item and gc item for
more effective.

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
[ * ]
[ * ]
[ * ]
[ ....]
This patch adds a sysfs entry to control the number dynamically through:
/sys/fs/f2fs/$dev/max_victim_search

This patch improves the gc efficiency by optimizing the victim
selection policy. With this optimization, the random re-write
performance could increase up to 20%.
For f2fs, when disk is in shortage of free spaces, gc will selects
dirty segments and moves valid blocks around for making more space
available. The gc cost of a segment is determined by the valid blocks
in the segment. The less the valid blocks, the higher the efficiency.
The ideal victim segment is the one that has the most garbage blocks.
Currently, it searches up to 20 dirty segments for a victim segment.
The selected victim is not likely the best victim for gc when there
are much more dirty segments. Why not searching more dirty segments
for a better victim? The cost of searching dirty segments is
negligible in comparison to moving blocks.
In this patch, it enlarges the MAX_VICTIM_SEARCH to 4096 to make
the search more aggressively for a possible better victim. Since
it also applies to victim selection for SSR, it will likely improve
the SSR efficiency as well.
The test case is simple. It creates as many files until the disk full.
The size for each file is 32KB. Then it writes as many as 100000
records of 4KB size to random offsets of random files in sync mode.
The testing was done on a 2GB partition of a SDHC card. Let's see the
test result of f2fs without and with the patch.
---------------------------------------
2GB partition, SDHC
create 52023 files of size 32768 bytes
random re-write 100000 records of 4KB
---------------------------------------
| file creation (s) | rewrite time (s) | gc count | gc garbage blocks |
[no patch] 341 4227 1174 174840
[patched] 324 2958 645 106682
It's obvious that, with the patch, f2fs finishes the test in 20+% less
time than without the patch. And internally it does much less gc with
higher efficiency than before.
Since the performance improvement is related to gc, it might not be so
obvious for other tests that do not trigger gc as often as this one (
This is because f2fs selects dirty segments for SSR use most of the
time when free space is in shortage). The well-known iozone test tool
was not used for benchmarking the patch becuase it seems do not have
a test case that performs random re-write on a full disk.
This patch is the revised version based on the suggestion from
Jaegeuk Kim.

Add sysfs entry gc_idle to control the gc policy. Where
gc_idle = 1 corresponds to selecting a cost benefit approach,
while gc_idle = 2 corresponds to selecting a greedy approach
to garbage collection. The selection is mutually exclusive one
approach will work at any point. If gc_idle = 0, then this
option is disabled.

This patch makes clearer the ambiguous f2fs_gc flow as follows.
1. Remove intermediate checkpoint condition during f2fs_gc
(i.e., should_do_checkpoint() and GC_BLOCKED)
2. Remove unnecessary return values of f2fs_gc because of #1.
(i.e., GC_NODE, GC_OK, etc)
3. Simplify write_checkpoint() because of #2.
4. Clarify the main f2fs_gc flow.
o monitor how many freed sections during one iteration of do_garbage_collect().
o do GC more without checkpoints if we can't get enough free sections.
o do checkpoint once we've got enough free sections through forground GCs.
5. Adopt thread-logging (Slack-Space-Recycle) scheme more aggressively on data
log types. See. get_ssr_segement()

Currently GC task is started for each f2fs formatted/mounted device.
But, when we check the task list, using 'ps', there is no distinguishing
factor between the tasks. So, name the task as per the block device just
like the flusher threads.
Also, remove the macro GC_THREAD_NAME and instead use the name: f2fs_gc
to avoid name length truncation, as the command length is 16
-> TASK_COMM_LEN 16 and example name like:
f2fs_gc_task:8:16 -> this exceeds name length
Before Patch for 2 F2FS formatted partitions:
root 28061 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S 10:31 0:00 [f2fs_gc_task]
root 28087 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S 10:32 0:00 [f2fs_gc_task]

This adds on-demand and background cleaning functions.
- The basic background cleaning policy is trying to do cleaning jobs as much as
possible whenever the system is idle. Once the background cleaning is done,
the cleaner sleeps an amount of time not to interfere with VFS calls. The time
is dynamically adjusted according to the status of whole segments, which is
decreased when the following conditions are satisfied.
. GC is not conducted currently, and
. IO subsystem is idle by checking the number of requets in bdev's request
list, and
. There are enough dirty segments.
Otherwise, the time is increased incrementally until to the maximum time.
Note that, min and max times are 10 secs and 30 secs by default.
- F2FS adopts a default victim selection policy where background cleaning uses
a cost-benefit algorithm, while on-demand cleaning uses a greedy algorithm.
- The method of moving data during the cleaning is slightly different between
background and on-demand cleaning schemes. In the case of background cleaning,
F2FS loads the data, and marks them as dirty. Then, F2FS expects that the data
will be moved by flusher or VM. In the case of on-demand cleaning, F2FS should
move the data right away.
- In order to identify valid blocks in a victim segment, F2FS scans the bitmap
of the segment managed as an SIT entry.
