…l/git/jaegeuk/f2fs

Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
 "In this round, a couple of sysfs entries were introduced to tune the
  f2fs at runtime.

  In addition, f2fs starts to support inline_data and improves the
  read/write performance in some workloads by refactoring bio-related
  flows.

  This patch-set includes the following major enhancement patches.
   - support inline_data
   - refactor bio operations such as merge operations and rw type
     assignment
   - enhance the direct IO path
   - enhance bio operations
   - truncate a node page when it becomes obsolete
   - add sysfs entries: small_discards, max_victim_search, and
     in-place-update
   - add a sysfs entry to control max_victim_search

  The other bug fixes are as follows.
   - fix a bug in truncate_partial_nodes
   - avoid warnings during sparse and build process
   - fix error handling flows
   - fix potential bit overflows

  And, there are a bunch of cleanups"

conduct checkpoint to reclaim the prefree segments
to free segments. By default, 100 segments, 200MB.

max_small_discards This parameter controls the number of discard
commands that consist small blocks less than 2MB.
The candidates to be discarded are cached until
checkpoint is triggered, and issued during the
checkpoint. By default, it is disabled with 0.

ipu_policy This parameter controls the policy of in-place
updates in f2fs. There are five policies:
0: F2FS_IPU_FORCE, 1: F2FS_IPU_SSR,
2: F2FS_IPU_UTIL, 3: F2FS_IPU_SSR_UTIL,
4: F2FS_IPU_DISABLE.

min_ipu_util This parameter controls the threshold to trigger
in-place-updates. The number indicates percentage
of the filesystem utilization, and used by
F2FS_IPU_UTIL and F2FS_IPU_SSR_UTIL policies.

max_victim_search This parameter controls the number of trials to
find a victim segment when conducting SSR and
cleaning operations. The default value is 4096
which covers 8GB block address range.
