f2fs: support age threshold based garbage collection
There are several issues in current background GC algorithm: - valid blocks is one of key factors during cost overhead calculation, so if segment has less valid block, however even its age is young or it locates hot segment, CB algorithm will still choose the segment as victim, it's not appropriate. - GCed data/node will go to existing logs, no matter in-there datas' update frequency is the same or not, it may mix hot and cold data again. - GC alloctor mainly use LFS type segment, it will cost free segment more quickly. This patch introduces a new algorithm named age threshold based garbage collection to solve above issues, there are three steps mainly: 1. select a source victim: - set an age threshold, and select candidates beased threshold: e.g. 0 means youngest, 100 means oldest, if we set age threshold to 80 then select dirty segments which has age in range of [80, 100] as candiddates; - set candidate_ratio threshold, and select candidates base...
