Merge tag 'f2fs-for-5.17-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jaegeuk/f2fs
Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
"In this round, we've tried to address some performance issues in
f2fs_checkpoint and direct IO flows. Also, there was a work to enhance
the page cache management used for compression. Other than them, we've
done typical work including sysfs, code clean-ups, tracepoint, sanity
check, in addition to bug fixes on corner cases.
Enhancements:
- use iomap for direct IO
- try to avoid lock contention to improve f2fs_ckpt speed
- avoid unnecessary memory allocation in compression flow
- POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED drops the page cache containing compression
pages
- add some sysfs entries (gc_urgent_high_remaining, pending_discard)
Bug fixes:
- try not to expose unwritten blocks to user by DIO (this was added
to avoid merge conflict; another patch is coming to address other
missing case)
- relax minor error condition for file pinning feature use...
