[ Upstream commit 25ae837e61dee712b4b1df36602ebfe724b2a0b6 ]

Callers may pass fio parameter with NULL value to f2fs_allocate_data_block(),
so we should make sure accessing fio's field after fio's validation check.

<title>f2fs: Fix a hungtask problem in atomic write</title>

[ Upstream commit be1ee45d51384161681ecf21085a42d316ae25f7 ]

In the cache writing process, if it is an atomic file, increase the page
count of F2FS_WB_CP_DATA, otherwise increase the page count of
F2FS_WB_DATA.

When you step into the hook branch due to insufficient memory in
f2fs_write_begin, f2fs_drop_inmem_pages_all will be called to traverse
all atomic inodes and clear the FI_ATOMIC_FILE mark of all atomic files.

In f2fs_drop_inmem_pages，first acquire the inmem_lock , revoke all the
inmem_pages, and then clear the FI_ATOMIC_FILE mark. Before this mark is
cleared, other threads may hold inmem_lock to add inmem_pages to the inode
that has just been emptied inmem_pages, and increase the page count of
F2FS_WB_CP_DATA.

When the IO returns, it is found that the FI_ATOMIC_FILE flag is cleared
by f2fs_drop_inmem_pages_all, and f2fs_is_atomic_file returns false,which
causes the page count of F2FS_WB_DATA to be decremented. The page count of
F2FS_WB_CP_DATA cannot be cleared. Finally, hungtask is triggered in
f2fs_wait_on_all_pages because get_pages will never return zero.

process A:				process B:
f2fs_drop_inmem_pages_all
-&gt;f2fs_drop_inmem_pages of inode#1
    -&gt;mutex_lock(&amp;fi-&gt;inmem_lock)
    -&gt;__revoke_inmem_pages of inode#1	f2fs_ioc_commit_atomic_write
    -&gt;mutex_unlock(&amp;fi-&gt;inmem_lock)	-&gt;f2fs_commit_inmem_pages of inode#1
					-&gt;mutex_lock(&amp;fi-&gt;inmem_lock)
					-&gt;__f2fs_commit_inmem_pages
					    -&gt;f2fs_do_write_data_page
					        -&gt;f2fs_outplace_write_data
					            -&gt;do_write_page
					                -&gt;f2fs_submit_page_write
					                    -&gt;inc_page_count(sbi, F2FS_WB_CP_DATA )
					-&gt;mutex_unlock(&amp;fi-&gt;inmem_lock)
    -&gt;spin_lock(&amp;sbi-&gt;inode_lock[ATOMIC_FILE]);
    -&gt;clear_inode_flag(inode, FI_ATOMIC_FILE)
    -&gt;spin_unlock(&amp;sbi-&gt;inode_lock[ATOMIC_FILE])
					f2fs_write_end_io
					-&gt;dec_page_count(sbi, F2FS_WB_DATA );

We can fix the problem by putting the action of clearing the FI_ATOMIC_FILE
mark into the inmem_lock lock. This operation can ensure that no one will
submit the inmem pages before the FI_ATOMIC_FILE mark is cleared, so that
there will be no atomic writes waiting for writeback.

[ Upstream commit 61461fc921b756ae16e64243f72af2bfc2e620db ]

In CP disabling mode, there are two issues when using LFS or SSR | AT_SSR
mode to select victim:

1. LFS is set to find source section during GC, the victim should have
no checkpointed data, since after GC, section could not be set free for
reuse.

Previously, we only check valid chpt blocks in current segment rather
than section, fix it.

2. SSR | AT_SSR are set to find target segment for writes which can be
fully filled by checkpointed and newly written blocks, we should never
select such segment, otherwise it can cause panic or data corruption
during allocation, potential case is described as below:

 a) target segment has 'n' (n &lt; 512) ckpt valid blocks
 b) GC migrates 'n' valid blocks to other segment (segment is still
    in dirty list)
 c) GC migrates '512 - n' blocks to target segment (segment has 'n'
    cp_vblocks and '512 - n' vblocks)
 d) If GC selects target segment via {AT,}SSR allocator, however there
    is no free space in targe segment.

<title>f2fs: fix to align to section for fallocate() on pinned file</title>

[ Upstream commit e1175f02291141bbd924fc578299305fcde35855 ]

Now, fallocate() on a pinned file only allocates blocks which aligns
to segment rather than section, so GC may try to migrate pinned file's
block, and after several times of failure, pinned file's block could
be migrated to other place, however user won't be aware of such
condition, and then old obsolete block address may be readed/written
incorrectly.

To avoid such condition, let's try to allocate pinned file's blocks
with section alignment.

However, after commit 803e74be04b3 ("f2fs: stop GC when the victim becomes

We will add a new "compress_mode" mount option to control file
compression mode. This supports "fs" and "user". In "fs" mode (default),
f2fs does automatic compression on the compression enabled files.
In "user" mode, f2fs disables the automaic compression and gives the
user discretion of choosing the target file and the timing. It means
the user can do manual compression/decompression on the compression
enabled files using ioctls.

	if (!is_idle(sbi, REQ_TIME) &amp;&amp;
		(!excess_dirty_nats(sbi) &amp;&amp; !excess_dirty_nodes(sbi)))
		return;

E.g:
cp_interval = 5 second
idle_interval = 2 second
foreground operation interval = 1 second (append 1 byte per second into file)

In such case, no matter when it calls f2fs_balance_fs_bg(), is_idle(, REQ_TIME)
returns false, result in skipping background checkpoint.

This patch changes as below to make trigger condition being more reasonable:
- trigger sync_fs() if dirty_{nats,nodes} and prefree segs exceeds threshold;
- skip triggering sync_fs() if there is any background inflight IO or there is
foreground operation recently and meanwhile cp_rwsem is being held by someone;

Lei Li reported a issue: if foreground operations are frequent, background
checkpoint may be always skipped due to below check, result in losing more
data after sudden power-cut.
