[PATCH v2 2/4] f2fs: introduce f2fs_submit_merged_bio_cond

From: Chao Yu
Date: Mon Jan 18 2016 - 05:28:57 EST

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.
