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.

When we recover fsync'ed data after power-off-recovery, we should guarantee
that any parent inode number should be correct for each direct inode blocks.

So, let's make the following rules.

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

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

The maximum filename length supported in linux is 255 characters.
So let's follow that.

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

In order to conserve free sections to deal with the worst-case scenarios, f2fs
should be able to freeze all the directory operations especially when there are
not enough free sections. The f2fs_balance_fs() is for this use.

When FS utilization becomes almost 100%, directory operations can be failed due
to -ENOSPC frequently, which produces some dirty node pages occasionally.

Previously, in such a case, f2fs_balance_fs() is not able to be triggered since
it is triggered only if the directory operation ends up with success.

So, this patch triggers f2fs_balance_fs() at first before handling directory
operations.

Since, GFP_NOFS and __GFP_ZERO is being used to set gfp_mask.
We can instead make use of already predefined macro GFP_F2FS_ZERO.

In function f2fs_mkdir, err is being initialized without even checking
if there was any error in new inode creation. So, instead check the
inode error and make use of error/return condition.

As pointed out by Randy Dunlap, this patch removes all usage of "/**" for comment
blocks. Instead, just use "/*".
