2016-02-22f2fs: introduce lifetime write IO statisticsShuoran Liu1-0/+6
This patch introduces lifetime IO write statistics exposed to the sysfs interface. The write IO amount is obtained from block layer, accumulated in the file system and stored in the hot node summary of checkpoint.

2016-02-22f2fs: export dirty_nats_ratio in sysfsChao Yu1-0/+8
This patch exports a new sysfs entry 'dirty_nat_ratio' to control threshold of dirty nat entries, if current ratio exceeds configured threshold, checkpoint will be triggered in f2fs_balance_fs_bg for flushing dirty nats.

2016-01-11f2fs: detect idle time depending on user behaviorJaegeuk Kim1-0/+6
This patch adds last time that user requested filesystem operations. This information is used to detect whether system is idle or not later. Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk@kernel.org>
2015-10-12f2fs: export ra_nid_pages to sysfsChao Yu1-0/+6
After finishing building free nid cache, we will try to readahead asynchronously 4 more pages for the next reloading, the count of readahead nid pages is fixed. In some case, like SMR drive, read less sectors with fixed count each time we trigger RA may be low efficient, since we will face high seeking overhead, so we'd better let user to configure this parameter from sysfs in specific workload.

2015-10-09f2fs: introduce a periodic checkpoint flowJaegeuk Kim1-0/+6
This patch introduces a periodic checkpoint feature. Note that, this is not enforcing to conduct checkpoints very strictly in terms of trigger timing, instead just hope to help user experiences. The default value is 60 seconds. Reviewed-by: Chao Yu <chao2.yu@samsung.com> Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk@kernel.org>
2015-02-11f2fs: introduce a batched trimJaegeuk Kim1-0/+6
This patch introduces a batched trimming feature, which submits split discard commands. This is to avoid long latency due to huge trim commands. If fstrim was triggered ranging from 0 to the end of device, we should lock all the checkpoint-related mutexes, resulting in very long latency.

2014-09-16f2fs: give an option to enable in-place-updates during fsync to usersJaegeuk Kim1-0/+7
If user wrote F2FS_IPU_FSYNC:4 in /sys/fs/f2fs/ipu_policy, f2fs_sync_file only starts to try in-place-updates. And, if the number of dirty pages is over /sys/fs/f2fs/min_fsync_blocks, it keeps out-of-order manner. Otherwise, it triggers in-place-updates. This may be used by storage showing very high random write performance. For example, it can be used when, Seq. writes (Data) + wait + Seq. writes (Node) is pretty much slower than, Rand. writes (Data) Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk@kernel.org>

2014-03-20f2fs: throttle the memory footprint with a sysfs entryJaegeuk Kim1-0/+6
This patch introduces ram_thresh, a sysfs entry, which controls the memory footprint used by the free nid list and the nat cache. Previously, the free nid list was controlled by MAX_FREE_NIDS, while the nat cache was managed by NM_WOUT_THRESHOLD. However, this approach cannot be applied dynamically according to the system. So, this patch adds ram_thresh that users can specify the threshold, which is in order of 1 / 1024. For example, if the total ram size is 4GB and the value is set to 10 by default, f2fs tries to control the number of free nids and nat caches not to consume over 10 * (4GB / 1024) = 10MB.

2014-01-09f2fs: update documents and a MAINTAINERS entryJaegeuk Kim1-0/+31
This patch adds missing some description of sysfs entries in - Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-fs-f2fs - Documentation/filesystems/f2fs.txt. And it adds a maintained document entry of F2FS in MAINTAINERS. Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk.kim@samsung.com>
2013-08-06f2fs: add sysfs entries to select the gc policyNamjae Jeon1-0/+6
Add sysfs entry gc_idle to control the gc policy. Where gc_idle = 1 corresponds to selecting a cost benefit approach, while gc_idle = 2 corresponds to selecting a greedy approach to garbage collection. The selection is mutually exclusive one approach will work at any point. If gc_idle = 0, then this option is disabled.

Add sysfs entries to control the timing parameters for f2fs gc thread.
