Merge tag 'for-f2fs-4.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jaegeuk/f2fs
Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim: "This series adds two ioctls to control cached data and fragmented files. Most of the rest fixes missing error cases and bugs that we have not covered so far. Summary: Enhancements: - support an ioctl to execute online file defragmentation - support an ioctl to flush cached data - speed up shrinking of extent_cache entries - handle broken superblock - refector dirty inode management infra - revisit f2fs_map_blocks to handle more cases - reduce global lock coverage - add detecting user's idle time Major bug fixes: - fix data race condition on cached nat entries - fix error cases of volatile and atomic writes" * tag 'for-f2fs-4.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jaegeuk/f2fs: (87 commits) f2fs: should unset atomic flag after successful commit f2fs: fix wrong memory condition check f2fs: monitor the number of background checkpoint f2fs: detect idle time depending on user behavior f2fs: introduce time and interval facility f2fs: skip releasing nodes in chindless extent tree f2fs: use atomic type for node count in extent tree f2fs: recognize encrypted data in f2fs_fiemap f2fs: clean up f2fs_balance_fs f2fs: remove redundant calls f2fs: avoid unnecessary f2fs_balance_fs calls f2fs: check the page status filled from disk f2fs: introduce __get_node_page to reuse common code f2fs: check node id earily when readaheading node page f2fs: read isize while holding i_mutex in fiemap Revert "f2fs: check the node block address of newly allocated nid" f2fs: cover more area with nat_tree_lock f2fs: introduce max_file_blocks in sbi f2fs crypto: check CONFIG_F2FS_FS_XATTR for encrypted symlink f2fs: introduce zombie list for fast shrinking extent trees ...
