Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
 "The major work includes fixing and enhancing the existing extent_cache
  feature, which has been well settling down so far and now it becomes a
  default mount option accordingly.

  Also, this version newly registers a f2fs memory shrinker to reclaim
  several objects consumed by a couple of data structures in order to
  avoid memory pressures.

  Another new feature is to add ioctl(F2FS_GARBAGE_COLLECT) which
  triggers a cleaning job explicitly by users.

  Most of the other patches are to fix bugs occurred in the corner cases
  across the whole code area"

Pull core block updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This first core part of the block IO changes contains:

   - Cleanup of the bio IO error signaling from Christoph.  We used to
     rely on the uptodate bit and passing around of an error, now we
     store the error in the bio itself.

   - Improvement of the above from myself, by shrinking the bio size
     down again to fit in two cachelines on x86-64.

   - Revert of the max_hw_sectors cap removal from a revision again,
     from Jeff Moyer.  This caused performance regressions in various
     tests.  Reinstate the limit, bump it to a more reasonable size
     instead.

   - Make /sys/block/&lt;dev&gt;/queue/discard_max_bytes writeable, by me.
     Most devices have huge trim limits, which can cause nasty latencies
     when deleting files.  Enable the admin to configure the size down.
     We will look into having a more sane default instead of UINT_MAX
     sectors.

   - Improvement of the SGP gaps logic from Keith Busch.

   - Enable the block core to handle arbitrarily sized bios, which
     enables a nice simplification of bio_add_page() (which is an IO hot
     path).  From Kent.

   - Improvements to the partition io stats accounting, making it
     faster.  From Ming Lei.

   - Also from Ming Lei, a basic fixup for overflow of the sysfs pending
     file in blk-mq, as well as a fix for a blk-mq timeout race
     condition.

   - Ming Lin has been carrying Kents above mentioned patches forward
     for a while, and testing them.  Ming also did a few fixes around
     that.

   - Sasha Levin found and fixed a use-after-free problem introduced by
     the bio-&gt;bi_error changes from Christoph.

   - Small blk cgroup cleanup from Viresh Kumar"

<title>f2fs: fix incorrect mapping for bmap</title>

The test step is like below:
1. touch file
2. truncate -s $((1024*1024)) file
3. fallocate -o 0 -l $((1024*1024)) file
4. fibmap.f2fs file

Our result of fibmap.f2fs showed below is not correct:

file_pos   start_blk     end_blk        blks
       0    -937166132    -937166132           1
    4096    -937166132    -937166132           1
    8192    -937166132    -937166132           1
   12288    -937166132    -937166132           1
   16384    -937166132    -937166132           1
   20480    -937166132    -937166132           1
...
 1040384    -937166132    -937166132           1
 1044480    -937166132    -937166132           1

This is because f2fs_map_blocks will return with no error when meeting
a hole or preallocated block, the caller __get_data_block will map the
uninitialized variable value to bh-&gt;b_blocknr.

Unfortunately generic_block_bmap will neither check the return value of
get_data() nor check mapping info of buffer_head, result in returning
the random block address.

After fixing the issue, our result shows correctly:

file_pos   start_blk     end_blk        blks
       0           0           0         256

As the below comment of bio_alloc_bioset, f2fs can allocate multiple bios at the
same time. So, we can't guarantee that bio is allocated all the time.

"
 *   When @bs is not NULL, if %__GFP_WAIT is set then bio_alloc will always be
 *   able to allocate a bio. This is due to the mempool guarantees. To make this
 *   work, callers must never allocate more than 1 bio at a time from this pool.
 *   Callers that need to allocate more than 1 bio must always submit the
 *   previously allocated bio for IO before attempting to allocate a new one.
 *   Failure to do so can cause deadlocks under memory pressure.

Previously, we use radix tree to index all registered page entries for
atomic file, but now we only use radix tree to see whether current page
is indexed or not, since the other user of radix tree is gone in commit
042b7816aaeb ("f2fs: remove unnecessary call to invalidate inmemory pages").

So in this patch, we try to use one more efficient way:
Introducing a macro ATOMIC_WRITTEN_PAGE, and setting it as page private
value to indicate page indexing status. By using this way, we can save
memory and lookup time.

<title>f2fs: report EINVAL for unalignment direct IO</title>

We run ltp testcase with f2fs and obtain a TFAIL in diotest4, the result in
detail is as fallow:

dio04

&lt;&lt;&lt;test_start&gt;&gt;&gt;
tag=dio04 stime=1432278894
cmdline="diotest4"
contacts=""
analysis=exit
&lt;&lt;&lt;test_output&gt;&gt;&gt;
diotest4    1  TPASS  :  Negative Offset
diotest4    2  TPASS  :  removed
diotest4    3  TFAIL  :  diotest4.c:129: write allows odd count.returns 1: Success
diotest4    4  TFAIL  :  diotest4.c:183: Odd count of read and write
diotest4    5  TPASS  :  Read beyond the file size
......

the result of ext4 with same environment:

dio04

&lt;&lt;&lt;test_start&gt;&gt;&gt;
tag=dio04 stime=1432259643
cmdline="diotest4"
contacts=""
analysis=exit
&lt;&lt;&lt;test_output&gt;&gt;&gt;
diotest4    1  TPASS  :  Negative Offset
diotest4    2  TPASS  :  removed
diotest4    3  TPASS  :  Odd count of read and write
diotest4    4  TPASS  :  Read beyond the file size
......

The reason is that when triggering DIO in f2fs, we will return zero value
in -&gt;direct_IO if writer's buffer offset, file offset and transfer size is
not alignment to block size of filesystem, resulting in falling back into
buffered write instead of returning -EINVAL.

This patch fixes that problem by returning correct error number for above
case, and removing the judgement condition in check_direct_IO to make sure
the verification will be enabled for direct reader too.

Besides, Jaegeuk Kim pointed out that there is expectional cases we should
always make direct-io falling back into buffered write, such as dio in

We run ltp testcase with f2fs and obtain a TFAIL in diotest4, the result in
detail is as fallow:

dio04

&lt;&lt;&lt;test_start&gt;&gt;&gt;
tag=dio04 stime=1432278894
cmdline="diotest4"
contacts=""
analysis=exit
&lt;&lt;&lt;test_output&gt;&gt;&gt;
diotest4    1  TPASS  :  Negative Offset
diotest4    2  TPASS  :  removed
diotest4    3  TFAIL  :  diotest4.c:129: write allows odd count.returns 1: Success
diotest4    4  TFAIL  :  diotest4.c:183: Odd count of read and write
diotest4    5  TPASS  :  Read beyond the file size
......

the result of ext4 with same environment:

dio04

&lt;&lt;&lt;test_start&gt;&gt;&gt;
tag=dio04 stime=1432259643
cmdline="diotest4"
contacts=""
analysis=exit
&lt;&lt;&lt;test_output&gt;&gt;&gt;
diotest4    1  TPASS  :  Negative Offset
diotest4    2  TPASS  :  removed
diotest4    3  TPASS  :  Odd count of read and write
diotest4    4  TPASS  :  Read beyond the file size
......

The reason is that when triggering DIO in f2fs, we will return zero value
in -&gt;direct_IO if writer's buffer offset, file offset and transfer size is
not alignment to block size of filesystem, resulting in falling back into
buffered write instead of returning -EINVAL.

This patch fixes that problem by returning correct error number for above
case, and removing the judgement condition in check_direct_IO to make sure
the verification will be enabled for direct reader too.

Besides, Jaegeuk Kim pointed out that there is expectional cases we should
always make direct-io falling back into buffered write, such as dio in
encrypted file.

<title>f2fs: use extent cache to optimize f2fs_reserve_block</title>

In some cases, we only need the block address when we call
f2fs_reserve_block,
other fields of struct dnode_of_data aren't necessary.
We can try extent cache first for such cases in order to speed up the
process.

<title>f2fs: fix to release inode page correctly</title>

In following call path, we will pass a locked and referenced ipage
pointer to get_new_data_page:
 - init_inode_metadata
  - make_empty_dir
   - get_new_data_page

There are two exit paths in get_new_data_page when error occurs:
1) grab_cache_page fails, ipage will not be released;
2) f2fs_reserve_block fails, ipage will be released in callee.

So, it's not consistent for error handling in get_new_data_page.

For f2fs_reserve_block, it's not very easy to change the rule
of error handling, since it's already complicated.

Here we deside to choose an easy way to fix this issue:
If any error occur in get_new_data_page, we will ensure releasing
ipage in this function.

The same issue is in f2fs_convert_inline_dir, fix that too.

some backing devices need pages to be stable during writeback. It doesn't
matter if
the page is completely overwritten or already uptodate, it needs to wait
before write.
