2014-03-20f2fs: throttle the memory footprint with a sysfs entryJaegeuk Kim
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.

2013-08-06f2fs: add sysfs entries to select the gc policyNamjae Jeon
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.

2013-08-06f2fs: add sysfs support for controlling the gc_threadNamjae Jeon
Add sysfs entries to control the timing parameters for f2fs gc thread. Various Sysfs options introduced are: gc_min_sleep_time: Min Sleep time for GC in ms gc_max_sleep_time: Max Sleep time for GC in ms gc_no_gc_sleep_time: Default Sleep time for GC in ms Cc: Gu Zheng <guz.fnst@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Namjae Jeon <namjae.jeon@samsung.com> Signed-off-by: Pankaj Kumar <pankaj.km@samsung.com> Reviewed-by: Gu Zheng <guz.fnst@cn.fujitsu.com> [Jaegeuk Kim: fix an umount bug and some minor changes] Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk.kim@samsung.com>
