<content type='text'>
This patch introduces a runtime hot/cold data separation method
for f2fs, in order to improve the accuracy for data temperature
classification, reduce the garbage collection overhead after
long-term data updates.

Enhanced hot/cold data separation can record data block update
frequency as "age" of the extent per inode, and take use of the age
info to indicate better temperature type for data block allocation:
 - It records total data blocks allocated since mount;
 - When file extent has been updated, it calculate the count of data
blocks allocated since last update as the age of the extent;
 - Before the data block allocated, it searches for the age info and
chooses the suitable segment for allocation.

Test and result:
 - Prepare: create about 30000 files
  * 3% for cold files (with cold file extension like .apk, from 3M to 10M)
  * 50% for warm files (with random file extension like .FcDxq, from 1K
to 4M)
  * 47% for hot files (with hot file extension like .db, from 1K to 256K)
 - create(5%)/random update(90%)/delete(5%) the files
  * total write amount is about 70G
  * fsync will be called for .db files, and buffered write will be used
for other files

The storage of test device is large enough(128G) so that it will not
switch to SSR mode during the test.

Benefit: dirty segment count increment reduce about 14%
 - before: Dirty +21110
 - after:  Dirty +18286

<title>f2fs: change the current atomic write way</title>

<id>3db1de0e582c358dd013f3703cd55b5fe4076436</id>
<content type='text'>
Current atomic write has three major issues like below.
 - keeps the updates in non-reclaimable memory space and they are even
   hard to be migrated, which is not good for contiguous memory
   allocation.
 - disk spaces used for atomic files cannot be garbage collected, so
   this makes it difficult for the filesystem to be defragmented.
 - If atomic write operations hit the threshold of either memory usage
   or garbage collection failure count, All the atomic write operations
   will fail immediately.

To resolve the issues, I will keep a COW inode internally for all the
updates to be flushed from memory, when we need to flush them out in a
situation like high memory pressure. These COW inodes will be tagged
as orphan inodes to be reclaimed in case of sudden power-cut or system
failure during atomic writes.

This adds a sysfs entry to call checkpoint during fsync() in order to avoid
long elapsed time to run roll-forward recovery when booting the device.
Default value doesn't enforce the limitation which is same as before.
