From: Daeho Jeong <[email protected]>
Added a mount option to control block allocation mode for filesystem
developer to simulate filesystem fragmentation and after-GC situation
for experimental reasons to understand the filesystem behaviors well
under the severe condition. This supports "normal", "seg_random" and
"blk_random:<num>" options.
"normal" (default): f2fs allocates blocks in the normal way.
"seg_random": f2fs allocates a new segment in ramdom position.
With this, we can simulate the after-GC condition.
"blk_random:<num>": We can make f2fs allocate only 1..<num> blocks
in a row and forcibly change the segment randomly.
With this, the newly allocated blocks will be scatter
throughout the whole partition and we can simulate
filesystem fragmentation condition.

+bl_alloc_mode=%s Control block allocation mode. This is a developer option
+ for experiments to simulate filesystem fragmentation and
+ after-GC situation. The developers use this mode to understand
+ filesystem fragmentation and after-GC condition well, and
+ eventually get the insight to handle them better.
+ This supports "normal", "seg_random" and "blk_random:<num>" modes.
+ In "normal" mode (default), f2fs allocates blocks in the normal way.
+ In "seg_random", f2fs allocates a new segment in ramdom position.
+ With this, we can simulate the after-GC condition.
+ In "blk_random:<num>", we can make f2fs allocate only 1..<num>
+ blocks in a segment and forcibly change the segment randomly.
+ You can set the <num> within 1 .. <blocks per segment> number.
+ With this, the newly allocated blocks will be scatter throughout
+ the whole partition and we can simulate filesystem fragmentation
+ condition. Please, use this option for your experiments and we
+ strongly recommand a filesystem format after using this option.
