[PATCH 1/1] f2fs: fix fallocate failed under pinned block situation

[Wu Bo]

If GC victim has pinned block, it can't be recycled.
And if GC is foreground running, after many failure try, the pinned file
is expected to be clear pin flag. To enable the section be recycled.

But when fallocate trigger FG_GC, GC can never recycle the pinned
section. Because GC will go to stop before the failure try meet the threshold:
	if (has_enough_free_secs(sbi, sec_freed, 0)) {
		if (!gc_control->no_bg_gc &&
		    total_sec_freed < gc_control->nr_free_secs)
			goto go_gc_more;
		goto stop;
	}

So when fallocate trigger FG_GC, at least recycle one.

This issue can be reproduced by filling f2fs space as following layout.
Every segment has one block is pinned:
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-----+-+
| | |p| | | | ... | | seg_n
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-----+-+
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-----+-+
| | |p| | | | ... | | seg_n+1
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-----+-+
...
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-----+-+
| | |p| | | | ... | | seg_n+k
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-----+-+

And following are steps to reproduce this issue:
dd if=/dev/zero of=./f2fs_pin.img bs=2M count=1024
mkfs.f2fs f2fs_pin.img
mkdir f2fs
mount f2fs_pin.img ./f2fs
cd f2fs
dd if=/dev/zero of=./large_padding bs=1M count=1760
./pin_filling.sh
rm padding*
sync
touch fallocate_40m
f2fs_io pinfile set fallocate_40m
fallocate -l 41943040 fallocate_40m

fallocate always fail with EAGAIN even there has enough free space.

'pin_filling.sh' is:
count=1
while :
do
    # filling the seg space
    for i in {1..511}:
    do
        name=padding_$count-$i
        echo write $name
        dd if=/dev/zero of=./$name bs=4K count=1 > /dev/null 2>&1
        if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
                exit 0
        fi
    done
    sync

    # pin one block in a segment
    name=pin_file$count
    dd if=/dev/zero of=./$name bs=4K count=1 > /dev/null 2>&1
    sync
    f2fs_io pinfile set $name
    count=$(($count + 1))
done
