Merge tag 'f2fs-for-4.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jaegeuk/f2fs
Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
"In this round, we've mainly focused on discard, aka unmap, control
along with fstrim for Android-specific usage model. In addition, we've
fixed writepage flow which returned EAGAIN previously resulting in EIO
of fsync(2) due to mapping's error state. In order to avoid old MM bug
[1], we decided not to use __GFP_ZERO for the mapping for node and
meta page caches. As always, we've cleaned up many places for future
fsverity and symbol conflicts.
Enhancements:
- do discard/fstrim in lower priority considering fs utilization
- split large discard commands into smaller ones for better responsiveness
- add more sanity checks to address syzbot reports
- add a mount option, fsync_mode=nobarrier, which can reduce # of cache flushes
- clean up symbol namespace with modified function names
- be strict on block allocation and IO control in corner cases
Bug fixes:
- don't use __GFP_ZERO for mappings
- fix error reports in writepage to avoid fsync() failure
- avoid selinux denial on CAP_RESOURCE on resgid/resuid
- fix some subtle race conditions in GC/atomic writes/shutdown
- fix overflow bugs in sanity_check_raw_super
- fix missing bits on get_flags
Clean-ups:
- prepare the generic flow for future fsverity integration
- fix some broken coding standard"
