Merge tag 'f2fs-for-5.11-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jaegeuk/f2fs
Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim: "In this round, we've made more work into per-file compression support. For example, F2FS_IOC_GET | SET_COMPRESS_OPTION provides a way to change the algorithm or cluster size per file. F2FS_IOC_COMPRESS | DECOMPRESS_FILE provides a way to compress and decompress the existing normal files manually. There is also a new mount option, compress_mode=fs|user, which can control who compresses the data. Chao also added a checksum feature with a mount option so that we are able to detect any corrupted cluster. In addition, Daniel contributed casefolding with encryption patch, which will be used for Android devices. Summary: Enhancements: - add ioctls and mount option to manage per-file compression feature - support casefolding with encryption - support checksum for compressed cluster - avoid IO starvation by replacing mutex with rwsem - add sysfs, max_io_bytes, to control max bio size Bug fixes: - fix use-after-free issue when compression and fsverity are enabled - fix consistency corruption during fault injection test - fix data offset for lseek - get rid of buffer_head which has 32bits limit in fiemap - fix some bugs in multi-partitions support - fix nat entry count calculation in shrinker - fix some stat information And, we've refactored some logics and fix minor bugs as well" * tag 'f2fs-for-5.11-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jaegeuk/f2fs: (36 commits) f2fs: compress: fix compression chksum f2fs: fix shift-out-of-bounds in sanity_check_raw_super() f2fs: fix race of pending_pages in decompression f2fs: fix to account inline xattr correctly during recovery f2fs: inline: fix wrong inline inode stat f2fs: inline: correct comment in f2fs_recover_inline_data f2fs: don't check PAGE_SIZE again in sanity_check_raw_super() f2fs: convert to F2FS_*_INO macro f2fs: introduce max_io_bytes, a sysfs entry, to limit bio size f2fs: don't allow any writes on readonly mount f2fs: avoid race condition for shrinker count f2fs: add F2FS_IOC_DECOMPRESS_FILE and F2FS_IOC_COMPRESS_FILE f2fs: add compress_mode mount option f2fs: Remove unnecessary unlikely() f2fs: init dirty_secmap incorrectly f2fs: remove buffer_head which has 32bits limit f2fs: fix wrong block count instead of bytes f2fs: use new conversion functions between blks and bytes f2fs: rename logical_to_blk and blk_to_logical f2fs: fix kbytes written stat for multi-device case ...
