f2fs: split grab_cache_page and wait_on_page_writeback for node pages

2014-05-07T01:21:58+00:00

This patch splits grab_cache_page_write_begin into grab_cache_page and
wait_on_page_writeback for node pages.

This patch intends to enhance the latency to get node pages by alleviating
unnecessary wait_on_page_writeback.

f2fs: adjust free mem size to flush dentry blocks

2014-05-07T01:21:55+00:00

If so many dirty dentry blocks are cached, not reached to the flush condition,
we should fall into livelock in balance_dirty_pages.
So, let's consider the mem size for the condition.

f2fs: introduce raw_nat_from_node_info() to simplfy codes

2014-05-07T01:21:55+00:00

This patch introduce raw_nat_from_node_info() to simplfy some codes, and also
use exist function node_info_from_raw_nat() to do the same job.

f2fs: skip unnecessary node writes during fsync

2014-03-20T13:10:11+00:00

If multiple redundant fsync calls are triggered, we don't need to write its
node pages with fsync mark continuously.

So, this patch adds FI_NEED_FSYNC to track whether the latest node block is
written with the fsync mark or not.
If the mark was set, a new fsync doesn't need to write a node block.
Otherwise, we should do a new node block with the mark for roll-forward
recovery.

f2fs: remove unnecessary threshold

2014-03-20T13:10:09+00:00

The NM_WOUT_THRESHOLD is now obsolete since f2fs starts to control on a basis
of the memory footprint.

f2fs: throttle the memory footprint with a sysfs entry

2014-03-20T13:10:09+00:00

This patch introduces ram_thresh, a sysfs entry, which controls the memory
footprint used by the free nid list and the nat cache.

Previously, the free nid list was controlled by MAX_FREE_NIDS, while the nat
cache was managed by NM_WOUT_THRESHOLD.
However, this approach cannot be applied dynamically according to the system.

So, this patch adds ram_thresh that users can specify the threshold, which is
in order of 1 / 1024.
For example, if the total ram size is 4GB and the value is set to 10 by default,
f2fs tries to control the number of free nids and nat caches not to consume over
10 * (4GB / 1024) = 10MB.

f2fs: fix to mark the checkpointed nat entry correctly

2014-02-24T07:00:40+00:00

The nat cache entry maintains a status whether it is checkpointed or not.
So, if a new cache entry is loaded from the last checkpoint,
nat_entry->checkpointed should be true.
If the cache entry is modified as being dirty, nat_entry->checkpoint should
be false.
