In curseg cache, f2fs caches two different parts: - datas of current summay block, i.e. summary entries, footer info. - journal info, i.e. sparse nat/sit entries or io stat info. With this approach, 1) it may cause higher lock contention when we access or update both of the parts of cache since we use the same mutex lock curseg_mutex to protect the cache. 2) current summary block with last journal info will be writebacked into device as a normal summary block when flushing, however, we treat journal info as valid one only in current summary, so most normal summary blocks contain junk journal data, it wastes remaining space of summary block. So, in order to fix above issues, we split curseg cache into two parts: a) current summary block, protected by original mutex lock curseg_mutex b) journal cache, protected by newly introduced r/w semaphore journal_rwsem When loading curseg cache during ->mount, we store summary info and journal info into different caches; When doing checkpoint, we combine datas of two cache into current summary block for persisting.
