f2fs: change GC bitmaps to apply the section granularity

This patch removes a bitmap for victim segments selected by foreground GC, and
modifies the other bitmap for victim segments selected by background GC.

1) foreground GC bitmap
: We don't need to manage this, since we just only one previous victim section
number instead of the whole victim history.
The f2fs uses the victim section number in order not to allocate currently
GC'ed section to current active logs.

2) background GC bitmap
: This bitmap is used to avoid selecting victims repeatedly by background GCs.
In addition, the victims are able to be selected by foreground GCs, since
there is no need to read victim blocks during foreground GCs.

By the fact that the foreground GC reclaims segments in a section unit, it'd
be better to manage this bitmap based on the section granularity.

So, let's make the following rules.

- The fsync should do checkpoint to all the inodes that were experienced hard

- So, the only normal files can be recovered by roll-forward.

Previously, f2fs reads several node pages ahead when get_dnode_of_data is called

And, this flag is set by the following functions.
- get_data_block_ro
- get_lock_data_page
- do_write_data_page
- truncate_blocks
- truncate_hole

However, this readahead mechanism is initially introduced for the use of
get_data_block_ro to enhance the sequential read performance.

So, let's clarify all the cases with the additional modes as follows.

enum {
ALLOC_NODE, /* allocate a new node page if needed */
LOOKUP_NODE, /* look up a node without readahead */
LOOKUP_NODE_RA, /*
* look up a node with readahead called
* by get_datablock_ro.
*/

f2fs: avoid balanc_fs during evict_inode

1. Background

Previously, if f2fs tries to move data blocks of an *evicting* inode during the
cleaning process, it stops the process incompletely and then restarts the whole
process, since it needs a locked inode to grab victim data pages in its address
space. In order to get a locked inode, iget_locked() by f2fs_iget() is normally
used, but, it waits if the inode is on freeing.

So, here is a deadlock scenario.
1. f2fs_evict_inode() <- inode "A"
2. f2fs_balance_fs()
3. f2fs_gc()
4. gc_data_segment()
5. f2fs_iget() <- inode "A" too!

If step #1 and #5 treat a same inode "A", step #5 would fall into deadlock since
the inode "A" is on freeing. In order to resolve this, f2fs_iget_nowait() which
skips __wait_on_freeing_inode() was introduced in step #5, and stops f2fs_gc()
to complete f2fs_evict_inode().

1. f2fs_evict_inode() <- inode "A"
2. f2fs_balance_fs()
3. f2fs_gc()
4. gc_data_segment()
5. f2fs_iget_nowait() <- inode "A", then stop f2fs_gc() w/ -ENOENT

2. Problem and Solution

In the above scenario, however, f2fs cannot finish f2fs_evict_inode() only if:
o there are not enough free sections, and
o f2fs_gc() tries to move data blocks of the *evicting* inode repeatedly.

So, the final solution is to use f2fs_iget() and remove f2fs_balance_fs() in
f2fs_evict_inode().
The f2fs_evict_inode() actually truncates all the data and node blocks, which
means that it doesn't produce any dirty node pages accordingly.
So, we don't need to do f2fs_balance_fs() in practical.

f2fs: prevent checkpoint once any IO failure is detected

This patch enhances the checkpoint routine to cope with IO errors.

Basically f2fs detects IO errors from end_io_write, and the errors are able to
be occurred during one of data, node, and meta page writes.

In the previous code, when an IO error is occurred during writes, f2fs sets a
flag, CP_ERROR_FLAG, in the raw ckeckpoint buffer which will be written to disk.
Afterwards, write_checkpoint() will check the flag and remount f2fs as a
read-only (ro) mode.

However, even once f2fs is remounted as a ro mode, dirty checkpoint pages are
freely able to be written to disk by flusher or kswapd in background.
In such a case, after cold reboot, f2fs would restore the checkpoint data having
CP_ERROR_FLAG, resulting in disabling write_checkpoint and remounting f2fs as
a ro mode again.

Therefore, let's prevent any checkpoint page (meta) writes once an IO error is
occurred, and remount f2fs as a ro mode right away at that moment.

f2fs: fix tracking parent inode number

Previously, f2fs didn't track the parent inode number correctly which is stored
in each f2fs_inode. In the case of the following scenario, a bug can be occured.

Let's suppose there are one directory, "/b", and two files, "/a" and "/b/a".
- pino of "/a" is ROOT_INO.
- pino of "/b/a" is DIR_B_INO.

Then,
# sync
: The inode pages of "/a" and "/b/a" contain the parent inode numbers as
ROOT_INO and DIR_B_INO respectively.
# mv /a /b/a
: The parent inode number of "/a" should be changed to DIR_B_INO, but f2fs
didn't do that. Ref. f2fs_set_link().

In order to fix this clearly, I added i_pino in f2fs_inode_info, and whenever
it needs to be changed like in f2fs_add_link() and f2fs_set_link(), it is
updated temporarily in f2fs_inode_info.

And later, f2fs_write_inode() stores the latest information to the inode pages.
For power-off-recovery, f2fs_sync_file() triggers simply f2fs_write_inode().
