f2fs: fix error path when fail to read inline data

2014-04-02T00:56:27+00:00

We should unlock page in ->readpage() path and also should unlock & release page
in error path of ->write_begin() to avoid deadlock or memory leak.
So let's add release code to fix the problem when we fail to read inline data.

f2fs: avoid unnecessary bio submit when wait page writeback

2014-04-01T09:53:41+00:00

This patch introduce is_merged_page() to check whether current page is merged
in f2fs bio cache. When page is not in cache, we can avoid submitting bio cache,
resulting in having more chance to merge pages.

f2fs: introduce nr_pages_to_write for segment alignment

2014-03-18T07:37:53+00:00

This patch introduces nr_pages_to_write to align page writes to the segment
or other operational unit size, which can be tuned according to the system
environment.

f2fs: avoid small data writes by skipping writepages

2014-03-18T04:58:59+00:00

This patch introduces nr_pages_to_skip(sbi, type) to determine writepages can
be skipped.
The dentry, node, and meta pages can be conrolled by F2FS without breaking the
FS consistency.

f2fs: fix dirty page accounting when redirty

2014-02-28T04:09:08+00:00

We should de-account dirty counters for page when redirty in ->writepage().

Wu Fengguang described in 'commit 971767caf632190f77a40b4011c19948232eed75':
"writeback: fix dirtied pages accounting on redirty
De-account the accumulative dirty counters on page redirty.

Page redirties (very common in ext4) will introduce mismatch between
counters (a) and (b)

a) NR_DIRTIED, BDI_DIRTIED, tsk->nr_dirtied
b) NR_WRITTEN, BDI_WRITTEN

This will introduce systematic errors in balanced_rate and result in
dirty page position errors (ie. the dirty pages are no longer balanced
around the global/bdi setpoints)."

f2fs: fix not to write data pages on the page reclaiming path

2014-02-24T07:00:33+00:00

Even if f2fs_write_data_page is called by the page reclaiming path, we should
not write the page to provide enough free segments for the worst case scenario.
Otherwise, f2fs can face with no free segment while gc is conducted, resulting
in:

f2fs: clean up redundant function call

redundant calls.

f2fs: remove the ugly pointer conversion

2014-02-17T05:58:52+00:00

This patch modifies the use of bi_private to remove pointer chasing for sbi.
Previously, we had a bi_private structure, but it needs memory allocation.
So this patch uses bi_private by the sbi pointer and adds a completion pointer
into the sbi.
This can achieve no memory allocation and nice use of the bi_private.

f2fs: update_inode_page should be done all the time

2014-02-17T05:58:51+00:00

In order to make fs consistency, update_inode_page should not be failed all
the time. Otherwise, it is possible to lose some metadata in the inode like
a link count.
