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"
