<content type='text'>
This patch introduces reserve_new_blocks to make preallocation of multi
blocks as in batch operation, so it can avoid lots of redundant
operation, result in better performance.

In virtual machine, with rotational device:

time fallocate -l 32G /mnt/f2fs/file

Before:
real	0m4.584s
user	0m0.000s
sys	0m4.580s

After:
real	0m0.292s
user	0m0.000s
sys	0m0.272s

In x86, with SSD:

time fallocate -l 500G $MNT/testfile

Before : 24.758 s
After  :  1.604 s

<title>f2fs: support revoking atomic written pages</title>

<id>28bc106b2346a7348706bf86d9efbe31920c69f3</id>
<content type='text'>
f2fs support atomic write with following semantics:
1. open db file
2. ioctl start atomic write
3. (write db file) * n
4. ioctl commit atomic write
5. close db file

With this flow we can avoid file becoming corrupted when abnormal power
cut, because we hold data of transaction in referenced pages linked in
inmem_pages list of inode, but without setting them dirty, so these data
won't be persisted unless we commit them in step 4.

But we should still hold journal db file in memory by using volatile
write, because our semantics of 'atomic write support' is incomplete, in
step 4, we could fail to submit all dirty data of transaction, once
partial dirty data was committed in storage, then after a checkpoint &amp;
abnormal power-cut, db file will be corrupted forever.

So this patch tries to improve atomic write flow by adding a revoking flow,
once inner error occurs in committing, this gives another chance to try to
revoke these partial submitted data of current transaction, it makes
committing operation more like aotmical one.

If we're not lucky, once revoking operation was failed, EAGAIN will be
reported to user for suggesting doing the recovery with held journal file,
or retrying current transaction again.

Because of the extent shrinker or other -ENOMEM scenarios, it cannot guarantee
that the largest extent would be cached in the tree all the time.

Instead of relying on extent_tree, we can simply check the cached one in extent
tree accordingly.
