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"

This is because when extent cache is disable, extent_tree pointer in struct
f2fs_inode_info should be NULL, but in f2fs_drop_largest_extent we access
this NULL pointer directly without checking state of extent cache, then,
the oops occurs. Let's fix it by checking state of extent cache before
accessing.

This is because when extent cache is disable, extent_tree pointer in struct
f2fs_inode_info should be NULL, but in f2fs_drop_largest_extent we access
this NULL pointer directly without checking state of extent cache, then,
the oops occurs. Let's fix it by checking state of extent cache before
accessing.

<title>f2fs: update extent tree in batches</title>

<id>19b2c30d3cce928010138cae4b9e57c388aa065c</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch introduce a new helper f2fs_update_extent_tree_range which can
do extent mapping update at a specified range.

The main idea is:
1) punch all mapping info in extent node(s) which are at a specified range;
2) try to merge new extent mapping with adjacent node, or failing that,
   insert the mapping into extent tree as a new node.

In order to see the benefit, I add a function for stating time stamping
count as below:

uint64_t rdtsc(void)
{
	uint32_t lo, hi;
	__asm__ __volatile__ ("rdtsc" : "=a" (lo), "=d" (hi));
	return (uint64_t)hi &lt;&lt; 32 | lo;
}

My test environment is: ubuntu, intel i7-3770, 16G memory, 256g micron ssd.

truncation path:	update extent cache from truncate_data_blocks_range
non-truncataion path:	update extent cache from other paths
total:			all update paths

a) Removing 128MB file which has one extent node mapping whole range of
file:
1. dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/f2fs/128M bs=1M count=128
2. sync
3. rm /mnt/f2fs/128M

Before:
		total		count		average
truncation:	7651022		32768		233.49

Patched:
		total		count		average
truncation:	3321		33		100.64

b) fsstress:
fsstress -d /mnt/f2fs -l 5 -n 100 -p 20
Test times:		5 times.

Before:
		total		count		average
truncation:	5812480.6	20911.6		277.95
non-truncation:	7783845.6	13440.8		579.12
total:		13596326.2	34352.4		395.79

Patched:
		total		count		average
truncation:	1281283.0	3041.6		421.25
non-truncation:	7355844.4	13662.8		538.38
total:		8637127.4	16704.4		517.06

1) For the updates in truncation path:
 - we can see updating in batches leads total tsc and update count reducing
   explicitly;
 - besides, for a single batched updating, punching multiple extent nodes
   in a loop, result in executing more operations, so our average tsc
   increase intensively.
2) For the updates in non-truncation path:
 - there is a little improvement, that is because for the scenario that we
   just need to update in the head or tail of extent node, new interface
   optimize to update info in extent node directly, rather than removing
   original extent node for updating and then inserting that updated one
   into cache as new node.

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

In following call stack, if unfortunately we lose all chances to truncate
inode page in remove_inode_page, eventually we will add the nid allocated
previously into free nid cache, this nid is with NID_NEW status and with
NEW_ADDR in its blkaddr pointer:

 - f2fs_create
  - f2fs_add_link
   - __f2fs_add_link
    - init_inode_metadata
     - new_inode_page
      - new_node_page
       - set_node_addr(, NEW_ADDR)
     - f2fs_init_acl   failed
     - remove_inode_page  failed
  - handle_failed_inode
   - remove_inode_page  failed
   - iput
    - f2fs_evict_inode
     - remove_inode_page  failed
     - alloc_nid_failed   cache a nid with valid blkaddr: NEW_ADDR

This may not only cause resource leak of previous inode, but also may cause
incorrect use of the previous blkaddr which is located in NO.nid node entry
when this nid is reused by others.

This patch tries to add this inode to orphan list if we fail to truncate
inode, so that we can obtain a second chance to release it in orphan
recovery flow.

<title>f2fs: avoid unneeded initializing when converting inline dentry</title>

When converting inline dentry, we will zero out target dentry page before
duplicating data of inline dentry into target page, it become overhead
since inline dentry size is not small.

So this patch tries to remove unneeded initializing in the space of target
dentry page.
