The FS got stuck in the below stack when the storage is almost
full/dirty condition (when FG_GC is being done).

schedule_timeout
io_schedule_timeout
congestion_wait
f2fs_drop_inmem_pages_all
f2fs_gc
f2fs_balance_fs
__write_node_page
f2fs_fsync_node_pages
f2fs_do_sync_file
f2fs_ioctl

The root cause for this issue is there is a potential infinite loop
in f2fs_drop_inmem_pages_all() for the case where gc_failure is true
and when there an inode whose i_gc_failures[GC_FAILURE_ATOMIC] is
not set. Fix this by keeping track of the total atomic files
currently opened and using that to exit from this condition.

This patch supports 2MB-aligned pinned file, which can guarantee no GC at all
by allocating fully valid 2MB segment.

Check free segments by has_not_enough_free_secs() with large budget.

<title>block: add zone open, close and finish operations</title>

Zoned block devices (ZBC and ZAC devices) allow an explicit control
over the condition (state) of zones. The operations allowed are:
* Open a zone: Transition to open condition to indicate that a zone will
  actively be written
* Close a zone: Transition to closed condition to release the drive
  resources used for writing to a zone
* Finish a zone: Transition an open or closed zone to the full
  condition to prevent write operations

To enable this control for in-kernel zoned block device users, define
the new request operations REQ_OP_ZONE_OPEN, REQ_OP_ZONE_CLOSE
and REQ_OP_ZONE_FINISH as well as the generic function
blkdev_zone_mgmt() for submitting these operations on a range of zones.
This results in blkdev_reset_zones() removal and replacement with this
new zone magement function. Users of blkdev_reset_zones() (f2fs and
dm-zoned) are updated accordingly.

<title>f2fs: cache global IPU bio</title>

<id>0b20fcec8651569935a10afe03fedc0b812d044e</id>
<content type='text'>
In commit 8648de2c581e ("f2fs: add bio cache for IPU"), we added
f2fs_submit_ipu_bio() in __write_data_page() as below:

__write_data_page()

	if (!S_ISDIR(inode-&gt;i_mode) &amp;&amp; !IS_NOQUOTA(inode)) {
		f2fs_submit_ipu_bio(sbi, bio, page);
		....
	}

in order to avoid below deadlock:

Thread A				Thread B
- __write_data_page (inode x, page y)
 - f2fs_do_write_data_page
  - set_page_writeback        ---- set writeback flag in page y
  - f2fs_inplace_write_data
 - f2fs_balance_fs
					 - lock gc_mutex
 - lock gc_mutex
					  - f2fs_gc
					   - do_garbage_collect
					    - gc_data_segment
					     - move_data_page
					      - f2fs_wait_on_page_writeback
					       - wait_on_page_writeback  --- wait writeback of page y

However, the bio submission breaks the merge of IPU IOs.

So in this patch let's add a global bio cache for merged IPU pages,
then f2fs_wait_on_page_writeback() is able to submit bio if a
writebacked page is cached in global bio cache.

In f2fs_allocate_data_block(), we will reset fio.retry for IO
alignment feature instead of IO serialization feature.

In addition, spread F2FS_IO_ALIGNED() to check IO alignment

<title>f2fs: avoid infinite GC loop due to stale atomic files</title>

<id>743b620cb0516f6b6cbc45b48df00fe6d14d00ba</id>
<content type='text'>
If committing atomic pages is failed when doing f2fs_do_sync_file(), we can
get commited pages but atomic_file being still set like:

- inmem:    0, atomic IO:    4 (Max.   10), volatile IO:    0 (Max.    0)

If GC selects this block, we can get an infinite loop like this:

f2fs_submit_page_bio: dev = (253,7), ino = 2, page_index = 0x2359a8, oldaddr = 0x2359a8, newaddr = 0x2359a8, rw = READ(), type = COLD_DATA
f2fs_submit_read_bio: dev = (253,7)/(253,7), rw = READ(), DATA, sector = 18533696, size = 4096
f2fs_get_victim: dev = (253,7), type = No TYPE, policy = (Foreground GC, LFS-mode, Greedy), victim = 4355, cost = 1, ofs_unit = 1, pre_victim_secno = 4355, prefree = 0, free = 234
f2fs_iget: dev = (253,7), ino = 6247, pino = 5845, i_mode = 0x81b0, i_size = 319488, i_nlink = 1, i_blocks = 624, i_advise = 0x2c
f2fs_submit_page_bio: dev = (253,7), ino = 2, page_index = 0x2359a8, oldaddr = 0x2359a8, newaddr = 0x2359a8, rw = READ(), type = COLD_DATA
f2fs_submit_read_bio: dev = (253,7)/(253,7), rw = READ(), DATA, sector = 18533696, size = 4096
f2fs_get_victim: dev = (253,7), type = No TYPE, policy = (Foreground GC, LFS-mode, Greedy), victim = 4355, cost = 1, ofs_unit = 1, pre_victim_secno = 4355, prefree = 0, free = 234
f2fs_iget: dev = (253,7), ino = 6247, pino = 5845, i_mode = 0x81b0, i_size = 319488, i_nlink = 1, i_blocks = 624, i_advise = 0x2c

In that moment, we can observe:

[Before]
Try to move 5084219 blocks (BG: 384508)
  - data blocks : 4962373 (274483)
  - node blocks : 121846 (110025)
Skipped : atomic write 4534686 (10)

[After]
Try to move 5088973 blocks (BG: 384508)
  - data blocks : 4967127 (274483)
  - node blocks : 121846 (110025)
Skipped : atomic write 4539440 (10)

So, refactor atomic_write flow like this:
1. start_atomic_write
 - add inmem_list and set atomic_file

2. write()
 - register it in inmem_pages

3. commit_atomic_write
 - if no error, f2fs_drop_inmem_pages()
 - f2fs_commit_inmme_pages() failed
   : __revoked_inmem_pages() was done
 - f2fs_do_sync_file failed
   : abort_atomic_write later

4. abort_atomic_write
 - f2fs_drop_inmem_pages

5. f2fs_drop_inmem_pages
 - clear atomic_file
 - remove inmem_list

Based on this change, when GC fails to move block in atomic_file,
f2fs_drop_inmem_pages_all() can call f2fs_drop_inmem_pages().

f2fs_submit_page_bio: dev = (253,7), ino = 2, page_index = 0x2359a8, oldaddr = 0x2359a8, newaddr = 0x2359a8, rw = READ(), type = COLD_DATA
f2fs_submit_read_bio: dev = (253,7)/(253,7), rw = READ(), DATA, sector = 18533696, size = 4096
f2fs_get_victim: dev = (253,7), type = No TYPE, policy = (Foreground GC, LFS-mode, Greedy), victim = 4355, cost = 1, ofs_unit = 1, pre_victim_secno = 4355, prefree = 0, free = 234
f2fs_iget: dev = (253,7), ino = 6247, pino = 5845, i_mode = 0x81b0, i_size = 319488, i_nlink = 1, i_blocks = 624, i_advise = 0x2c

In that moment, we can observe:

[Before]
Try to move 5084219 blocks (BG: 384508)
  - data blocks : 4962373 (274483)
  - node blocks : 121846 (110025)
Skipped : atomic write 4534686 (10)

[After]
Try to move 5088973 blocks (BG: 384508)
  - data blocks : 4967127 (274483)
  - node blocks : 121846 (110025)
Skipped : atomic write 4539440 (10)

So, refactor atomic_write flow like this:
1. start_atomic_write
 - add inmem_list and set atomic_file

2. write()
 - register it in inmem_pages

3. commit_atomic_write
 - if no error, f2fs_drop_inmem_pages()
 - f2fs_commit_inmme_pages() failed
   : __revoked_inmem_pages() was done
 - f2fs_do_sync_file failed
   : abort_atomic_write later

4. abort_atomic_write
 - f2fs_drop_inmem_pages

5. f2fs_drop_inmem_pages
 - clear atomic_file
 - remove inmem_list

Based on this change, when GC fails to move block in atomic_file,
f2fs_drop_inmem_pages_all() can call f2fs_drop_inmem_pages().

This patch changes sematics of f2fs_is_checkpoint_ready()'s return
value as: return true when checkpoint is ready, other return false,
it can improve readability of below conditions.

f2fs_submit_page_write()
...
	if (is_sbi_flag_set(sbi, SBI_IS_SHUTDOWN) ||
				!f2fs_is_checkpoint_ready(sbi))
		__submit_merged_bio(io);

f2fs_balance_fs()
...
	if (!f2fs_is_checkpoint_ready(sbi))
		return;

Policy - Foreground GC, LFS and greedy GC mode.

Under this policy, f2fs_gc() loops forever to GC as it doesn't have
enough free segements to proceed and thus it keeps calling gc_more
for the same victim segment.  This can happen if the selected victim
segment could not be GC'd due to failed blkaddr validity check i.e.
is_alive() returns false for the blocks set in current validity map.

Fix this by keeping track of such invalid segments and skip those
segments for selection in get_victim_by_default() to avoid endless
GC loop under such error scenarios. Currently, add this logic under
CONFIG_F2FS_CHECK_FS to be able to root cause the issue in debug
version.
