f2fs: delete duplicate information on sysfs nodes



This patch merges the sysfs node documentation present in
Documentation/filesystems/f2fs.txt and
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-fs-f2fs
and deletes the duplicate information from
Documentation/filesystems/f2fs.txt. This is to prevent having to update
both files when a new sysfs node is added for f2fs.
The patch also makes minor formatting changes to
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-fs-f2fs.

 reclaim_segments             This parameter controls the number of prefree
                              segments to be reclaimed. If the number of prefree
			      segments is larger than the number of segments
			      in the proportion to the percentage over total
			      volume size, f2fs tries to conduct checkpoint to
			      reclaim the prefree segments to free segments.
			      By default, 5% over total # of segments.

 main_blkaddr                 This value gives the first block address of
			      MAIN area in the partition.

 max_small_discards	      This parameter controls the number of discard
			      commands that consist small blocks less than 2MB.
			      The candidates to be discarded are cached until
			      checkpoint is triggered, and issued during the

			      unit size is 4KB, and 4 (=16KB) is set by default.
			      The maximum value is 128 (=512KB).

 reserved_blocks	      This parameter indicates the number of blocks that
			      f2fs reserves internally for root.

 batched_trim_sections	      This parameter controls the number of sections
                              to be trimmed out in batch mode when FITRIM

 min_fsync_blocks             This parameter controls the threshold to trigger
                              in-place-updates when F2FS_IPU_FSYNC mode is set.
			      The number indicates the number of dirty pages
			      when fsync needs to flush on its call path. If
			      the number is less than this value, it triggers
			      in-place-updates.

 min_seq_blocks		      This parameter controls the threshold to serialize
			      write IOs issued by multiple threads in parallel.

 min_hot_blocks		      This parameter controls the threshold to allocate
			      a hot data log for pending data blocks to write.

 min_ssr_sections	      This parameter adds the threshold when deciding
			      SSR block allocation. If this is large, SSR mode
			      will be enabled early.

 ram_thresh                   This parameter controls the memory footprint used
			      by free nids and cached nat entries. By default,
			      1 is set, which indicates 10 MB / 1 GB RAM.

 ra_nid_pages		      When building free nids, F2FS reads NAT blocks
			      ahead for speed up. Default is 0.

 dirty_nats_ratio	      Given dirty ratio of cached nat entries, F2FS
			      determines flushing them in background.

 max_victim_search	      This parameter controls the number of trials to
			      find a victim segment when conducting SSR and
			      cleaning operations. The default value is 4096
			      which covers 8GB block address range.

 migration_granularity	      For large-sized sections, F2FS can stop GC given
			      this granularity instead of reclaiming entire
			      section.

 dir_level                    This parameter controls the directory level to
			      support large directory. If a directory has a
			      number of files, it can reduce the file lookup
			      latency by increasing this dir_level value.
			      Otherwise, it needs to decrease this value to
			      reduce the space overhead. The default value is 0.

 cp_interval		      F2FS tries to do checkpoint periodically, 60 secs
			      by default.

 idle_interval		      F2FS detects system is idle, if there's no F2FS
			      operations during given interval, 5 secs by
			      default.

 discard_idle_interval	      F2FS detects the discard thread is idle, given
			      time interval. Default is 5 secs.

 gc_idle_interval	      F2FS detects the GC thread is idle, given time
			      interval. Default is 5 secs.

 umount_discard_timeout       When unmounting the disk, F2FS waits for finishing
			      queued discard commands which can take huge time.
			      This gives time out for it, 5 secs by default.

 iostat_enable		      This controls to enable/disable iostat in F2FS.

 readdir_ra		      This enables/disabled readahead of inode blocks
			      in readdir, and default is enabled.

 gc_pin_file_thresh	      This indicates how many GC can be failed for the
			      pinned file. If it exceeds this, F2FS doesn't
			      guarantee its pinning state. 2048 trials is set
			      by default.

 extension_list		      This enables to change extension_list for hot/cold
			      files in runtime.

 inject_rate		      This controls injection rate of arbitrary faults.

 inject_type		      This controls injection type of arbitrary faults.

 dirty_segments 	      This shows # of dirty segments.

 lifetime_write_kbytes	      This shows # of data written to the disk.

 features		      This shows current features enabled on F2FS.

 current_reserved_blocks      This shows # of blocks currently reserved.
