Subject: [PATCH] f2fs: fix to reserve space for IO align feature

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=204137

With below script, we will hit panic during new segment allocation:

DISK=bingo.img
MOUNT_DIR=/mnt/f2fs

dd if=/dev/zero of=$DISK bs=1M count=105
mkfs.f2fe -a 1 -o 19 -t 1 -z 1 -f -q $DISK

mount -t f2fs $DISK $MOUNT_DIR -o "noinline_dentry,flush_merge,noextent_cache,mode=lfs,io_bits=7,fsync_mode=strict"

for (( i = 0; i < 4096; i++ )); do

	name=`head /dev/urandom | tr -dc A-Za-z0-9 | head -c 10`
	mkdir $MOUNT_DIR/$name

done

umount $MOUNT_DIR
rm $DISK

The root cause here is, with IO alignment feature enables, in worst case, we need F2FS_IO_SIZE() free blocks space for single one 4k write due to IO alignment feature will fill dummy pages to make IO being aligned.

So we will easily run out of free segments during non-inline directory's data writeback, even in process of foreground GC.

In order to fix this issue, I just propose to reserve additional free space for IO alignment feature to handle worst case of free space usage ratio during FGGC.
