f2fs: add an sysfs entry to control the directory level

This patch adds an sysfs entry to control dir_level used by the large directory.

The description of this entry is:

dir_level This parameter controls the directory level to
support large directory. If a directory has a
number of files, it can reduce the file lookup
latency by increasing this dir_level value.
Otherwise, it needs to decrease this value to
reduce the space overhead. The default value is 0.

f2fs: introduce large directory support

This patch introduces an i_dir_level field to support large directory.

Previously, f2fs maintains multi-level hash tables to find a dentry quickly
from a bunch of chiild dentries in a directory, and the hash tables consist of
the following tree structure as below.

In Documentation/filesystems/f2fs.txt,

----------------------
A : bucket
B : block
N : MAX_DIR_HASH_DEPTH
----------------------

level #0 | A(2B)
|
level #1 | A(2B) - A(2B)
|
level #2 | A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B)
. | . . . .
level #N/2 | A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - ... - A(2B)
. | . . . .
level #N | A(4B) - A(4B) - A(4B) - A(4B) - A(4B) - ... - A(4B)

But, if we can guess that a directory will handle a number of child files,
we don't need to traverse the tree from level #0 to #N all the time.
Since the lower level tables contain relatively small number of dentries,
the miss ratio of the target dentry is likely to be high.

In order to avoid that, we can configure the hash tables sparsely from level #0
like this.

level #0 | A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B)

level #1 | A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - ... - A(2B)
. | . . . .
level #N/2 | A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - ... - A(2B)
. | . . . .
level #N | A(4B) - A(4B) - A(4B) - A(4B) - A(4B) - ... - A(4B)

With this structure, we can skip the ineffective tree searches in lower level
hash tables.

This patch adds just a facility for this by introducing i_dir_level in
f2fs_inode.

f2fs: add a sysfs entry to control max_victim_search

Previously during SSR and GC, the maximum number of retrials to find a victim
segment was hard-coded by MAX_VICTIM_SEARCH, 4096 by default.

This number makes an effect on IO locality, when SSR mode is activated, which
results in performance fluctuation on some low-end devices.

If max_victim_search = 4, the victim will be searched like below.
("D" represents a dirty segment, and "*" indicates a selected victim segment.)

D1 D2 D3 D4 D5 D6 D7 D8 D9

f2fs: improve write performance under frequent fsync calls

When considering a bunch of data writes with very frequent fsync calls, we
are able to think the following performance regression.

N: Node IO, D: Data IO, IO scheduler: cfq

Issue pending IOs
D1 D2 D3 D4
D1 D2 D3 D4 N1
D2 D3 D4 N1 N2
N1 D3 D4 N2 D1
--> N1 can be selected by cfq becase of the same priority of N and D.
Then D3 and D4 would be delayed, resuling in performance degradation.

So, when processing the fsync call, it'd better give higher priority to data IOs
than node IOs by assigning WRITE and WRITE_SYNC respectively.
This patch improves the random wirte performance with frequent fsync calls by up
to 10%.
