The periodic checkpoint can resolve the previous issue.
So, now we can use this again to improve the reported performance regression:

This reverts commit 15bec0ff5a9ba6d203178fa8772259df6207942a.

Previously, we skip dentry block writes when wbc is SYNC_NONE with no memory
pressure and the number of dirty pages is pretty small.

But, we didn't skip for normal data writes, which gives us not much big impact
on overall performance.
Moreover, by skipping some data writes, kworker falls into infinite loop to try
to write blocks, when many dir inodes have only one dentry block.

So, this patch removes skipping data writes.

Previously, we use radix tree to index all registered page entries for
atomic file, but now we only use radix tree to see whether current page
is indexed or not, since the other user of radix tree is gone in commit
042b7816aaeb ("f2fs: remove unnecessary call to invalidate inmemory pages").

So in this patch, we try to use one more efficient way:
Introducing a macro ATOMIC_WRITTEN_PAGE, and setting it as page private
value to indicate page indexing status. By using this way, we can save
memory and lookup time.

With the planned cgroup writeback support, backing-dev related
declarations will be more widely used across block and cgroup;
unfortunately, including backing-dev.h from include/linux/blkdev.h
makes cyclic include dependency quite likely.

This patch separates out backing-dev-defs.h which only has the
essential definitions and updates blkdev.h to include it.  c files
which need access to more backing-dev details now include
backing-dev.h directly.  This takes backing-dev.h off the common
include dependency chain making it a lot easier to use it across block
and cgroup.

v2: fs/fat build failure fixed.

<title>writeback: move bandwidth related fields from backing_dev_info into bdi_writeback</title>

<id>a88a341a73be4ef035ca26170c849f002797da27</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, a bdi (backing_dev_info) embeds single wb (bdi_writeback)
and the role of the separation is unclear.  For cgroup support for
writeback IOs, a bdi will be updated to host multiple wb's where each
wb serves writeback IOs of a different cgroup on the bdi.  To achieve
that, a wb should carry all states necessary for servicing writeback
IOs for a cgroup independently.

This patch moves bandwidth related fields from backing_dev_info into
bdi_writeback.

* The moved fields are: bw_time_stamp, dirtied_stamp, written_stamp,
  write_bandwidth, avg_write_bandwidth, dirty_ratelimit,
  balanced_dirty_ratelimit, completions and dirty_exceeded.

* writeback_chunk_size() and over_bground_thresh() now take @wb
  instead of @bdi.

* bdi_writeout_fraction(bdi, ...)	-&gt; wb_writeout_fraction(wb, ...)
  bdi_dirty_limit(bdi, ...)		-&gt; wb_dirty_limit(wb, ...)
  bdi_position_ration(bdi, ...)		-&gt; wb_position_ratio(wb, ...)
  bdi_update_writebandwidth(bdi, ...)	-&gt; wb_update_write_bandwidth(wb, ...)
  [__]bdi_update_bandwidth(bdi, ...)	-&gt; [__]wb_update_bandwidth(wb, ...)
  bdi_{max|min}_pause(bdi, ...)		-&gt; wb_{max|min}_pause(wb, ...)
  bdi_dirty_limits(bdi, ...)		-&gt; wb_dirty_limits(wb, ...)

* Init/exits of the relocated fields are moved to bdi_wb_init/exit()
  respectively.  Note that explicit zeroing is dropped in the process
  as wb's are cleared in entirety anyway.

* As there's still only one bdi_writeback per backing_dev_info, all
  uses of bdi-&gt;stat[] are mechanically replaced with bdi-&gt;wb.stat[]
  introducing no behavior changes.

v2: Typo in description fixed as suggested by Jan.

This patch adds a bitmap for discard issues from f2fs_trim_fs.
There-in rule is to issue discard commands only for invalidated blocks
after mount.
Once mount is done, f2fs_trim_fs trims out whole invalid area.
After ehn, it will not issue and discrads redundantly.
