This patch introduces fi->i_sem to protect fi's info that includes xattr_ver,
pino, i_nlink.
This enables to remove i_mutex during f2fs_sync_file, resulting in performance
improvement when a number of fsync calls are triggered from many concurrent
threads.

The fs_locks is used to block other ops(ex, recovery) when doing checkpoint.
And each other operate routine(besides checkpoint) needs to acquire a fs_lock,
there is a terrible problem here, if these are too many concurrency threads acquiring
fs_lock, so that they will block each other and may lead to some performance problem,
but this is not the phenomenon we want to see.
Though there are some optimization patches introduced to enhance the usage of fs_lock,
but the thorough solution is using a *rw_sem* to replace the fs_lock.
Checkpoint routine takes write_sem, and other ops take read_sem, so that we can block
other ops(ex, recovery) when doing checkpoint, and other ops will not disturb each other,
this can avoid the problem described above completely.
Because of the weakness of rw_sem, the above change may introduce a potential problem
that the checkpoint thread might get starved if other threads are intensively locking
the read semaphore for I/O.(Pointed out by Xu Jin)
In order to avoid this, a wait_list is introduced, the appending read semaphore ops
will be dropped into the wait_list if checkpoint thread is waiting for write semaphore,
and will be waked up when checkpoint thread gives up write semaphore.
Thanks to Kim's previous review and test, and will be very glad to see other guys'
performance tests about this patch.
V2:
-fix the potential starvation problem.
-use more suitable func name suggested by Xu Jin.

f2fs_initxattrs() is called internally from within F2FS and should
not call functions that are used by VFS handlers. This avoids
certain deadlocks:
- vfs_create()
- f2fs_create() <-- takes an fs_lock
- f2fs_add_link()
- __f2fs_add_link()
- init_inode_metadata()
- f2fs_init_security()
- security_inode_init_security()
- f2fs_initxattrs()
- f2fs_setxattr() <-- also takes an fs_lock
If the caller happens to grab the same fs_lock from the pool in both
places, they will deadlock. There are also deadlocks involving
multiple threads and mutexes:
- f2fs_write_begin()
- f2fs_balance_fs() <-- takes gc_mutex
- f2fs_gc()
- write_checkpoint()
- block_operations()
- mutex_lock_all() <-- blocks trying to grab all fs_locks
- f2fs_mkdir() <-- takes an fs_lock
- __f2fs_add_link()
- f2fs_init_security()
- security_inode_init_security()
- f2fs_initxattrs()
- f2fs_setxattr()
- f2fs_balance_fs() <-- blocks trying to take gc_mutex

0. modified inode structure
--------------------------------------

--------------------------------------
1. setxattr flow
- read_all_xattrs copies all the xattrs from inline and xattr node block.
- handle xattr entries
- write_all_xattrs copies modified xattrs into inline and xattr node block.
2. getxattr flow
- read_all_xattrs copies all the xattrs from inline and xattr node block.
- check target entries
3. Usage
# mount -t f2fs -o inline_xattr $DEV $MNT
Once mounted with the inline_xattr option, f2fs marks all the newly created
files to reserve an amount of inline xattr space explicitly inside the inode
block. Without the mount option, f2fs will not touch any existing files and
newly created files as well.

Previously, f2fs_setxattr assigns i_xattr_nid in the inode page inconsistently.
The scenario is:
= Thread 1 = = Thread 2 = = fi->i_xattr_nid = = on-disk nid =
f2fs_setxattr 0 0
new_node_page X 0
sync_inode_page X X
checkpoint X X -.
grab_cache_page X X |
--> allocate a new xattr node block or -ENOSPC <----------------'
At this moment, the checkpoint stores inconsistent data where the inode has
i_xattr_nid but actual xattr node block is not allocated yet.
So, we should assign the real i_xattr_nid only after its xattr node block is
allocated.

Previously xattr node blocks are stored to the COLD_NODE log, which means that
our roll-forward mechanism doesn't recover the xattr node blocks at all.
Only the direct node blocks in the WARM_NODE log can be recovered.
So, let's resolve the issue simply by conducting checkpoint during fsync when a
file has a modified xattr node block.
This approach is able to degrade the performance, but normally the checkpoint
overhead is shown at the initial fsync call after the xattr entry changes.
Once the checkpoint is done, no additional overhead would be occurred.

This patch adds the support of security labels for f2fs, which will be used
by Linus Security Models (LSMs).
Quote from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Security_Modules:
"Linux Security Modules (LSM) is a framework that allows the Linux kernel to
support a variety of computer security models while avoiding favoritism toward
any single security implementation. The framework is licensed under the terms of
the GNU General Public License and is standard part of the Linux kernel since
Linux 2.6. AppArmor, SELinux, Smack and TOMOYO Linux are the currently accepted
modules in the official kernel.".

In the previous version, f2fs uses global locks according to the usage types,
such as directory operations, block allocation, block write, and so on.
Reference the following lock types in f2fs.h.
enum lock_type {
RENAME, /* for renaming operations */
DENTRY_OPS, /* for directory operations */
DATA_WRITE, /* for data write */
DATA_NEW, /* for data allocation */
DATA_TRUNC, /* for data truncate */
NODE_NEW, /* for node allocation */
NODE_TRUNC, /* for node truncate */
NODE_WRITE, /* for node write */
NR_LOCK_TYPE,
};
In that case, we lose the performance under the multi-threading environment,
since every types of operations must be conducted one at a time.
In order to address the problem, let's share the locks globally with a mutex
array regardless of any types.
So, let users grab a mutex and perform their jobs in parallel as much as
possbile.
For this, I propose a new global lock scheme as follows.
0. Data structure
- f2fs_sb_info -> mutex_lock[NR_GLOBAL_LOCKS]
- f2fs_sb_info -> node_write
1. mutex_lock_op(sbi)
- try to get an avaiable lock from the array.
- returns the index of the gottern lock variable.
2. mutex_unlock_op(sbi, index of the lock)
- unlock the given index of the lock.
3. mutex_lock_all(sbi)
- grab all the locks in the array before the checkpoint.
4. mutex_unlock_all(sbi)
- release all the locks in the array after checkpoint.
5. block_operations()
- call mutex_lock_all()
- sync_dirty_dir_inodes()
- grab node_write
- sync_node_pages()
Note that,
the pairs of mutex_lock_op()/mutex_unlock_op() and
mutex_lock_all()/mutex_unlock_all() should be used together.

The f2fs_balance_fs() is to check the number of free sections and decide whether
it needs to conduct cleaning or not. If there are not enough free sections, the
cleaning job should be started.
In order to control an amount of free sections even under high utilization, f2fs
should call f2fs_balance_fs at all the VFS interfaces that are able to produce
dirty pages.
This patch adds the function calls in the missing interfaces as follows.
1. f2fs_setxattr()
The f2fs_setxattr() produces dirty node pages so that we should call
f2fs_balance_fs() either likewise doing in other VFS interfaces such as
f2fs_lookup(), f2fs_mkdir(), and so on.
2. f2fs_sync_file()
We should guarantee serving free sections for syncing metadata during fsync.
Previously, there is no space check before triggering checkpoint and
sync_node_pages.
Therefore, if a bunch of fsync calls are triggered under 100% of FS utilization,
f2fs is able to be faced with no free sections, resulting in BUG_ON().
3. f2fs_sync_fs()
Before calling write_checkpoint(), we should guarantee that there are minimum
free sections.
4. f2fs_write_inode()
f2fs_write_inode() is also able to produce dirty node pages.

There exist two build failures reported by Randy Dunlap as follows.
(on i386)
a. (config-r8857)
ERROR: "f2fs_xattr_advise_handler" [fs/f2fs/f2fs.ko] undefined!
Key configs in (config-r8857) are as follows.
CONFIG_F2FS_FS=m
# CONFIG_F2FS_STAT_FS is not set
CONFIG_F2FS_FS_XATTR=y
# CONFIG_F2FS_FS_POSIX_ACL is not set
The error was occurred due to the function location that we made a mistake.
Recently we added a new functionality for users to indicate cold files
explicitly through xattr operations (i.e., f2fs_xattr_advise_handler).
This handler should have been added in xattr.c instead of acl.c in order
to avoid an undefined operation like in this case where XATTR is set and
ACL is not set.
b. (config-r8855)
fs/f2fs/file.c: In function 'f2fs_vm_page_mkwrite':
fs/f2fs/file.c:97:2: error: implicit declaration of function
'block_page_mkwrite_return'
Key config in (config-r8855) is CONFIG_BLOCK.
Obviously, f2fs works on top of the block device so that we should consider
carefully a sort of config dependencies.
The reason why this error was occurred was that f2fs_vm_page_mkwrite() calls
block_page_mkwrite_return() which is enalbed only if CONFIG_BLOCK is set.
