    f2fs: introduce f2fs_submit_merged_bio_cond · 0c3a5797
    Chao Yu 提交于
    f2fs use single bio buffer per type data (META/NODE/DATA) for caching
    writes locating in continuous block address as many as possible, after
    submitting, these writes may be still cached in bio buffer, so we have
    to flush cached writes in bio buffer by calling f2fs_submit_merged_bio.
    
    Unfortunately, in the scenario of high concurrency, bio buffer could be
    flushed by someone else before we submit it as below reasons:
    a) there is no space in bio buffer.
    b) add a request of different type (SYNC, ASYNC).
    c) add a discontinuous block address.
    
    For this condition, f2fs_submit_merged_bio will be devastating, because
    it could break the following merging of writes in bio buffer, split one
    big bio into two smaller one.
    
    This patch introduces f2fs_submit_merged_bio_cond which can do a
    conditional submitting with bio buffer, before submitting it will judge
    whether:
     - page in DATA type bio buffer is matching with specified page;
     - page in DATA type bio buffer is belong to specified inode;
     - page in NODE type bio buffer is belong to specified inode;
    If there is no eligible page in bio buffer, we will skip submitting step,
    result in gaining more chance to merge consecutive block IOs in bio cache.
