When large directory feathure is enable, We have one case which could cause
overflow in dir_buckets() as following:
special case: level + dir_level >= 32 and level < MAX_DIR_HASH_DEPTH / 2.
Here we define MAX_DIR_BUCKETS to limit the return value when the condition
could trigger potential overflow.

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.

When a new directory is allocated, if an error is occurred, we should truncate
preallocated dentry pages too.
This bug was reported by Andrey Tsyvarev after a while as follows.
mkdir()->
f2fs_add_link()->
init_inode_metadata()->
f2fs_init_acl()->
f2fs_get_acl()->
f2fs_getxattr()->
read_all_xattrs() fails.
Also there was a BUG_ON triggered after the fault in
mkdir()->
f2fs_add_link()->
init_inode_metadata()->
remove_inode_page() ->
f2fs_bug_on(inode->i_blocks != 0 && inode->i_blocks != 1);
But, previous patch wasn't perfect to resolve that bug, so the following bug
report was also submitted.
kernel BUG at fs/f2fs/inode.c:274!

Finally, this patch resolves all the issues like below.
If an error is occurred after make_empty_dir(),
1. truncate_inode_pages()
The make_bad_inode() prior to iput() will change i_mode to S_IFREG, which
means that f2fs will not decrement fi->dirty_dents during f2fs_evict_inode.
But, by calling it here, we can do that.
2. truncate_blocks()
Preallocated dentry pages are trucated here to sync i_blocks.
3. remove_dirty_dir_inode()
Remove this directory inode from the list.

This is the erroneous scenario.
i_size on-disk i_size i_blocks

get_new_data_page 8192 4096 3
-ENOSPC = init_inode_metadata
checkpoint - 4096 3
POR and reboot
__f2fs_add_link() 4096 4096 3
page = get_new_data_page (page->index = 1 by NEW_ADDR)
add a dentry to the page successfully
f2fs_rmdir()
f2fs_empty_dir() 4096 4096 3
f2fs_unlink() goes, since there is no valid dentry due to i_size = 4096.
But, still there is one dentry in page->index = 1.
So this patch moves the code to write dir->i_size into on-disk i_size in order
to sync dir's i_size, on-disk i_size, and its i_blocks.

The get_dnode_of_data nullifies inode and node page when error is occurred.
There are two cases that passes inode page into get_dnode_of_data().
1. make_empty_dir()
-> get_new_data_page()
-> f2fs_reserve_block(ipage)
-> get_dnode_of_data()
2. f2fs_convert_inline_data()
-> __f2fs_convert_inline_data()
-> f2fs_reserve_block(ipage)
-> get_dnode_of_data()
This patch adds correct error handling codes when get_dnode_of_data() returns
an error.
At first, f2fs_reserve_block() calls f2fs_put_dnode() whenever reserve_new_block
returns an error.
So, the rule of f2fs_reserve_block() is to nullify inode page when there is any
error internally.
Finally, two callers of f2fs_reserve_block() should call f2fs_put_dnode()
appropriately if they got an error since successful f2fs_reserve_block().

In current flow, we will get Null return value of f2fs_find_entry in
recover_dentry when name.len is bigger than F2FS_NAME_LEN, and then we
still add this inode into its dir entry.
To avoid this situation, we must check filename length before we use it.
Another point is that we could remove the code of checking filename length

This patch fixes mishandling of the sbi->n_orphans variable.
If users request lots of f2fs_unlink(), check_orphan_space() could be contended.
In such the case, sbi->n_orphans can be read incorrectly so that f2fs_unlink()
would fall into the wrong state which results in the failure of
add_orphan_inode().
So, let's increment sbi->n_orphans virtually prior to the actual orphan inode
stuffs. After that, let's release sbi->n_orphans by calling release_orphan_inode
or remove_orphan_inode.

If new dentry block is allocated and its i_size is updated, we should update

- sync_dirty_dir_inodes
- filemap_flush(dentry_blocks)
- f2fs_write_data_page
- skip to write the last dentry block due to index < i_size

I found a bug when testing power-off-recovery as follows.
[Bug Scenario]
1. create a file
2. fsync the file
3. reboot w/o any sync
4. try to recover the file
- found its fsync mark
- found its dentry mark
: try to recover its dentry
- get its file name
- get its parent inode number
: here we got zero value
The reason why we get the wrong parent inode number is that we didn't
synchronize the inode page with its newly created inode information perfectly.
Especially, previous f2fs stores fi->i_pino and writes it to the cached
node page in a wrong order, which incurs the zero-valued i_pino during the
recovery.
So, this patch modifies the creation flow to fix the synchronization order of
inode page with its inode.

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.

Pull vfs pile (part one) from Al Viro:
"Assorted stuff - cleaning namei.c up a bit, fixing ->d_name/->d_parent
locking violations, etc.
The most visible changes here are death of FS_REVAL_DOT (replaced with
"has ->d_weak_revalidate()") and a new helper getting from struct file
to inode. Some bits of preparation to xattr method interface changes.
Misc patches by various people sent this cycle *and* ocfs2 fixes from
several cycles ago that should've been upstream right then.
PS: the next vfs pile will be xattr stuff."

Pull f2fs cleanup patches from Al Viro:
f2fs: get rid of fake on-stack dentries
f2fs: switch init_inode_metadata() to passing parent and name separately
f2fs: switch new_inode_page() from dentry to qstr
f2fs: init_dent_inode() should take qstr

... sure, it's tempting to just pass dentry. Except that we don't
_have_ anything resembling a real dentry on one of the paths to it.

for one thing, it doesn't (and shouldn't) use anything else from dentry;
for another, on some call chains the dentry is fake and should
be eliminated completely.

This patch is intended to unify string length declarations and usage.
There are number of calls to strlen which return size_t object.
The size of this object depends on compiler if it will be bigger,
equal or even smaller than an unsigned int

Ruslan reported that f2fs hangs with an infinite loop in f2fs_sync_file():
while (sync_node_pages(sbi, inode->i_ino, &wbc) == 0)
f2fs_write_inode(inode, NULL);
The reason was revealed that the cold flag is not set even thought this inode is
a normal file. Therefore, sync_node_pages() skips to write node blocks since it
only writes cold node blocks.
The cold flag is stored to the node_footer in node block, and whenever a new
node page is allocated, it is set according to its file type, file or directory.
But, after sudden-power-off, when recovering the inode page, f2fs doesn't recover
its cold flag.
So, let's assign the cold flag in more right places.
One more thing:
If f2fs_write_inode() returns an error due to whatever situations, there would
be no dirty node pages so that sync_node_pages() returns zero.
(i.e., zero means nothing was written.)
