This patch fixes two minor typos in Documentation/filesystems/f2fs.rst:
- "ramdom" → "random"
- "reenable" → "re-enable"
The changes improve spelling and consistency in the documentation.
These issues were identified using the 'codespell' tool with the
following command:
$ find Documentation/ -path Documentation/translations -prune -o \
-name '*.rst' -print | xargs codespell

F2FS should understand how the device aliasing file works and support
deleting the file after use. A device aliasing file can be created by
mkfs.f2fs tool and it can map the whole device with an extent, not
using node blocks. The file space should be pinned and normally used for
read-only usages.

After we inject fault into f2fs_is_valid_blkaddr() during truncation,
a) it missed to increase @nr_free or @valid_blocks
b) it can cause in blkaddr leak in truncated dnode
Which may cause inconsistent status.
This patch separates FAULT_BLKADDR_CONSISTENCE from FAULT_BLKADDR,
and rename FAULT_BLKADDR to FAULT_BLKADDR_VALIDITY
so that we can:
a) use FAULT_BLKADDR_CONSISTENCE in f2fs_truncate_data_blocks_range()
to simulate inconsistent issue independently, then it can verify fsck
repair flow.
b) FAULT_BLKADDR_VALIDITY fault will not cause any inconsistent status,
we can just use it to check error path handling in kernel side.

This patch introduces a runtime hot/cold data separation method
for f2fs, in order to improve the accuracy for data temperature
classification, reduce the garbage collection overhead after
long-term data updates.
Enhanced hot/cold data separation can record data block update
frequency as "age" of the extent per inode, and take use of the age
info to indicate better temperature type for data block allocation:
- It records total data blocks allocated since mount;
- When file extent has been updated, it calculate the count of data
blocks allocated since last update as the age of the extent;
- Before the data block allocated, it searches for the age info and
chooses the suitable segment for allocation.
Test and result:
- Prepare: create about 30000 files
* 3% for cold files (with cold file extension like .apk, from 3M to 10M)
* 50% for warm files (with random file extension like .FcDxq, from 1K
to 4M)
* 47% for hot files (with hot file extension like .db, from 1K to 256K)
- create(5%)/random update(90%)/delete(5%) the files
* total write amount is about 70G
* fsync will be called for .db files, and buffered write will be used
for other files
The storage of test device is large enough(128G) so that it will not
switch to SSR mode during the test.
Benefit: dirty segment count increment reduce about 14%
- before: Dirty +21110
- after: Dirty +18286

Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
"In this cycle, we mainly fixed some corner cases that manipulate a
per-file compression flag inappropriately. And, we found f2fs counted
valid blocks in a section incorrectly when zone capacity is set, and
thus, fixed it with additional sysfs entry to check it easily.
Lastly, this series includes several patches with respect to the new
atomic write support such as a couple of bug fixes and re-adding
atomic_write_abort support that we removed by mistake in the previous
release.
Enhancements:
- add sysfs entries to understand atomic write operations and zone
capacity
- introduce memory mode to get a hint for low-memory devices
- adjust the waiting time of foreground GC
- decompress clusters under softirq to avoid non-deterministic
latency
- do not skip updating inode when retrying to flush node page
- enforce single zone capacity
Bug fixes:
- set the compression/no-compression flags correctly
- revive F2FS_IOC_ABORT_VOLATILE_WRITE
- check inline_data during compressed inode conversion
- understand zone capacity when calculating valid block count
As usual, the series includes several minor clean-ups and sanity

Added two options into "mode=" mount option to make it possible for
developers to simulate filesystem fragmentation/after-GC situation
itself. The developers use these modes to understand filesystem
fragmentation/after-GC condition well, and eventually get some
insights to handle them better.
"fragment:segment": f2fs allocates a new segment in ramdom position.
With this, we can simulate the after-GC condition.
"fragment:block" : We can scatter block allocation with
"max_fragment_chunk" and "max_fragment_hole" sysfs
nodes. f2fs will allocate 1..<max_fragment_chunk>
blocks in a chunk and make a hole in the length of
1..<max_fragment_hole> by turns in a newly allocated
free segment. Plus, this mode implicitly enables
"fragment:segment" option for more randomness.

As James Z reported in bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=213877
[1.] One-line summary of the problem:
Mount multiple SMR block devices exceed certain number cause system non-response
[2.] Full description of the problem/report:
Created some F2FS on SMR devices (mkfs.f2fs -m), then mounted in sequence. Each device is the same Model: HGST HSH721414AL (Size 14TB).
Empirically, found that when the amount of SMR device * 1.5Gb > System RAM, the system ran out of memory and hung. No dmesg output. For example, 24 SMR Disk need 24*1.5GB = 36GB. A system with 32G RAM can only mount 21 devices, the 22nd device will be a reproducible cause of system hang.
The number of SMR devices with other FS mounted on this system does not interfere with the result above.
[3.] Keywords (i.e., modules, networking, kernel):
F2FS, SMR, Memory
[4.] Kernel information
[4.1.] Kernel version (uname -a):
Linux 5.13.4-200.fc34.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jul 20 20:27:29 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[4.2.] Kernel .config file:
Default Fedora 34 with f2fs-tools-1.14.0-2.fc34.x86_64
[5.] Most recent kernel version which did not have the bug:
None
[6.] Output of Oops.. message (if applicable) with symbolic information
resolved (see Documentation/admin-guide/oops-tracing.rst)
None
[7.] A small shell script or example program which triggers the
problem (if possible)
mount /dev/sdX /mnt/0X
[8.] Memory consumption

Mem: 46 36 0 0 10 10
Swap: 0 0 0
With 3 * 14T SMR Block device with F2FS
free -g
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 7 5 0 0 1 1
Swap: 7 0 7
The root cause is, there are three bitmaps:
- cur_valid_map
- ckpt_valid_map
- discard_map
and each of them will cost ~500MB memory, {cur, ckpt}_valid_map are
necessary, but discard_map is optional, since this bitmap will only be
useful in mountpoint that small discard is enabled.
For a blkzoned device such as SMR or ZNS devices, f2fs will only issue
discard for a section(zone) when all blocks of that section are invalid,
so, for such device, we don't need small discard functionality at all.
This patch introduces a new mountoption "discard_unit=block|segment|
section" to support issuing discard with different basic unit which is
aligned to block, segment or section, so that user can specify
"discard_unit=segment" or "discard_unit=section" to disable small
discard functionality.
Note that this mount option can not be changed by remount() due to
related metadata need to be initialized during mount().
In order to save memory, let's use "discard_unit=section" for blkzoned
device by default.

When we create a directory with enable compression, all file write into
directory will try to compress.But sometimes we may know, new file
cannot meet compression ratio requirements.
We need a nocompress extension to skip those files to avoid unnecessary
compress page test.
After add nocompress_extension, the priority should be:
dir_flag < comp_extention,nocompress_extension < comp_file_flag,
no_comp_file_flag.
Priority in between FS_COMPR_FL, FS_NOCOMP_FS, extensions:
* compress_extension=so; nocompress_extension=zip; chattr +c dir;
touch dir/foo.so; touch dir/bar.zip; touch dir/baz.txt; then foo.so
and baz.txt should be compresse, bar.zip should be non-compressed.
chattr +c dir/bar.zip can enable compress on bar.zip.
* compress_extension=so; nocompress_extension=zip; chattr -c dir;
touch dir/foo.so; touch dir/bar.zip; touch dir/baz.txt; then foo.so
should be compresse, bar.zip and baz.txt should be non-compressed.

We've added a new mount options, "checkpoint_merge" and "nocheckpoint_merge",
which creates a kernel daemon and makes it to merge concurrent checkpoint
requests as much as possible to eliminate redundant checkpoint issues. Plus,
we can eliminate the sluggish issue caused by slow checkpoint operation
when the checkpoint is done in a process context in a cgroup having
low i/o budget and cpu shares. To make this do better, we set the
default i/o priority of the kernel daemon to "3", to give one higher
priority than other kernel threads. The below verification result
explains this.
The basic idea has come from https://opensource.samsung.com.
[Verification]
Android Pixel Device(ARM64, 7GB RAM, 256GB UFS)
Create two I/O cgroups (fg w/ weight 100, bg w/ wight 20)
Set "strict_guarantees" to "1" in BFQ tunables
In "fg" cgroup,
- thread A => trigger 1000 checkpoint operations
"for i in `seq 1 1000`; do touch test_dir1/file; fsync test_dir1;
done"
- thread B => gererating async. I/O
"fio --rw=write --numjobs=1 --bs=128k --runtime=3600 --time_based=1
--filename=test_img --name=test"
In "bg" cgroup,
- thread C => trigger repeated checkpoint operations
"echo $$ > /dev/blkio/bg/tasks; while true; do touch test_dir2/file;
fsync test_dir2; done"
We've measured thread A's execution time.

Expand 'compress_algorithm' mount option to accept parameter as format of
<algorithm>:<level>, by this way, it gives a way to allow user to do more
specified config on lz4 and zstd compression level, then f2fs compression
can provide higher compress ratio.
In order to set compress level for lz4 algorithm, it needs to set
CONFIG_LZ4HC_COMPRESS and CONFIG_F2FS_FS_LZ4HC config to enable lz4hc
compress algorithm.
CR and performance number on lz4/lz4hc algorithm:
dd if=enwik9 of=compressed_file conv=fsync
Original blocks: 244382
lz4 lz4hc-9
compressed blocks 170647 163270
compress ratio 69.8% 66.8%
speed 16.4207 s, 60.9 MB/s 26.7299 s, 37.4 MB/s
compress ratio = after / before

We will add a new "compress_mode" mount option to control file
compression mode. This supports "fs" and "user". In "fs" mode (default),
f2fs does automatic compression on the compression enabled files.
In "user" mode, f2fs disables the automaic compression and gives the
user discretion of choosing the target file and the timing. It means
the user can do manual compression/decompression on the compression
enabled files using ioctls.

There are several issues in current background GC algorithm:
- valid blocks is one of key factors during cost overhead calculation,
so if segment has less valid block, however even its age is young or
it locates hot segment, CB algorithm will still choose the segment as
victim, it's not appropriate.
- GCed data/node will go to existing logs, no matter in-there datas'
update frequency is the same or not, it may mix hot and cold data
again.
- GC alloctor mainly use LFS type segment, it will cost free segment
more quickly.
This patch introduces a new algorithm named age threshold based
garbage collection to solve above issues, there are three steps
mainly:
1. select a source victim:
- set an age threshold, and select candidates beased threshold:
e.g.
0 means youngest, 100 means oldest, if we set age threshold to 80
then select dirty segments which has age in range of [80, 100] as
candiddates;
- set candidate_ratio threshold, and select candidates based the
ratio, so that we can shrink candidates to those oldest segments;
- select target segment with fewest valid blocks in order to
migrate blocks with minimum cost;
2. select a target victim:
- select candidates beased age threshold;
- set candidate_radius threshold, search candidates whose age is
around source victims, searching radius should less than the
radius threshold.
- select target segment with most valid blocks in order to avoid
migrating current target segment.
3. merge valid blocks from source victim into target victim with
SSR alloctor.
Test steps:
- create 160 dirty segments:
* half of them have 128 valid blocks per segment
* left of them have 384 valid blocks per segment
- run background GC
Benefit: GC count and block movement count both decrease obviously:
- Before:
- Valid: 86
- Dirty: 1
- Prefree: 11
- Free: 6001 (6001)
GC calls: 162 (BG: 220)
- data segments : 160 (160)
- node segments : 2 (2)
Try to move 41454 blocks (BG: 41454)
- data blocks : 40960 (40960)
- node blocks : 494 (494)
IPU: 0 blocks
SSR: 0 blocks in 0 segments
LFS: 41364 blocks in 81 segments
- After:
- Valid: 87
- Dirty: 0
- Prefree: 4
- Free: 6008 (6008)
GC calls: 75 (BG: 76)
- data segments : 74 (74)
- node segments : 1 (1)

- data blocks : 12544 (12544)
- node blocks : 269 (269)

NVMe Zoned Namespace devices can have zone-capacity less than zone-size.
Zone-capacity indicates the maximum number of sectors that are usable in
a zone beginning from the first sector of the zone. This makes the sectors
sectors after the zone-capacity till zone-size to be unusable.
This patch set tracks zone-size and zone-capacity in zoned devices and
calculate the usable blocks per segment and usable segments per section.
If zone-capacity is less than zone-size mark only those segments which
start before zone-capacity as free segments. All segments at and beyond
zone-capacity are treated as permanently used segments. In cases where
zone-capacity does not align with segment size the last segment will start
before zone-capacity and end beyond the zone-capacity of the zone. For
such spanning segments only sectors within the zone-capacity are used.
During writes and GC manage the usable segments in a section and usable
blocks per segment. Segments which are beyond zone-capacity are never
allocated, and do not need to be garbage collected, only the segments
which are before zone-capacity needs to garbage collected.
For spanning segments based on the number of usable blocks in that
segment, write to blocks only up to zone-capacity.
Zone-capacity is device specific and cannot be configured by the user.
Since NVMe ZNS device zones are sequentially write only, a block device
with conventional zones or any normal block device is needed along with
the ZNS device for the metadata operations of F2fs.
A typical nvme-cli output of a zoned device shows zone start and capacity
and write pointer as below:
SLBA: 0x0 WP: 0x0 Cap: 0x18800 State: EMPTY Type: SEQWRITE_REQ
SLBA: 0x20000 WP: 0x20000 Cap: 0x18800 State: EMPTY Type: SEQWRITE_REQ
SLBA: 0x40000 WP: 0x40000 Cap: 0x18800 State: EMPTY Type: SEQWRITE_REQ
Here zone size is 64MB, capacity is 49MB, WP is at zone start as the zones
are in EMPTY state. For each zone, only zone start + 49MB is usable area,
any lba/sector after 49MB cannot be read or written to, the drive will fail
any attempts to read/write. So, the second zone starts at 64MB and is
usable till 113MB (64 + 49) and the range between 113 and 128MB is
again unusable. The next zone starts at 128MB, and so on.
