Lei Li reported a issue: if foreground operations are frequent, background
checkpoint may be always skipped due to below check, result in losing more
data after sudden power-cut.
f2fs_balance_fs_bg()
...
if (!is_idle(sbi, REQ_TIME) &&
(!excess_dirty_nats(sbi) && !excess_dirty_nodes(sbi)))
return;
E.g:
cp_interval = 5 second
idle_interval = 2 second
foreground operation interval = 1 second (append 1 byte per second into file)
In such case, no matter when it calls f2fs_balance_fs_bg(), is_idle(, REQ_TIME)
returns false, result in skipping background checkpoint.
This patch changes as below to make trigger condition being more reasonable:
- trigger sync_fs() if dirty_{nats,nodes} and prefree segs exceeds threshold;
- skip triggering sync_fs() if there is any background inflight IO or there is
foreground operation recently and meanwhile cp_rwsem is being held by someone;

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
