Merge tag 'f2fs-for-5.16-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jaegeuk/f2fs
Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim: "In this cycle, we've applied relatively small number of patches which fix subtle corner cases mainly, while introducing a new mount option to be able to fragment the disk intentionally for performance tests. Enhancements: - add a mount option to fragmente on-disk layout to understand the performance - support direct IO for multi-partitions - add a fault injection of dquot_initialize Bug fixes: - address some lockdep complaints - fix a deadlock issue with quota - fix a memory tuning condition - fix compression condition to improve the ratio - fix disabling compression on the non-empty compressed file - invalidate cached pages before IPU/DIO writes And, we've added some minor clean-ups as usual" * tag 'f2fs-for-5.16-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jaegeuk/f2fs: f2fs: fix UAF in f2fs_available_free_memory f2fs: invalidate META_MAPPING before IPU/DIO write f2fs: support fault injection for dquot_initialize() f2fs: fix incorrect return value in f2fs_sanity_check_ckpt() f2fs: compress: disallow disabling compress on non-empty compressed file f2fs: compress: fix overwrite may reduce compress ratio unproperly f2fs: multidevice: support direct IO f2fs: introduce fragment allocation mode mount option f2fs: replace snprintf in show functions with sysfs_emit f2fs: include non-compressed blocks in compr_written_block f2fs: fix wrong condition to trigger background checkpoint correctly f2fs: fix to use WHINT_MODE f2fs: fix up f2fs_lookup tracepoints f2fs: set SBI_NEED_FSCK flag when inconsistent node block found f2fs: introduce excess_dirty_threshold() f2fs: avoid attaching SB_ACTIVE flag during mount f2fs: quota: fix potential deadlock f2fs: should use GFP_NOFS for directory inodes

=================== ===========
mode=%s Control block allocation mode which supports "adaptive"
and "lfs". In "lfs" mode, there should be no random
writes towards main area.
+ "fragment:segment" and "fragment:block" are newly added here.
+ These are developer options for experiments to simulate filesystem
+ fragmentation/after-GC situation itself. The developers use these
+ modes to understand filesystem fragmentation/after-GC condition well,
+ and eventually get some insights to handle them better.
+ In "fragment:segment", f2fs allocates a new segment in ramdom
+ position. With this, we can simulate the after-GC condition.
+ In "fragment:block", we can scatter block allocation with
+ "max_fragment_chunk" and "max_fragment_hole" sysfs nodes.
+ We added some randomness to both chunk and hole size to make
+ it close to realistic IO pattern. So, in this mode, f2fs will allocate
+ 1..<max_fragment_chunk> blocks in a chunk and make a hole in the
+ length of 1..<max_fragment_hole> by turns. With this, the newly
+ allocated blocks will be scattered throughout the whole partition.
+ Note that "fragment:block" implicitly enables "fragment:segment"
+ option for more randomness.
+ Please, use these options for your experiments and we strongly
+ recommend to re-format the filesystem after using these options.
io_bits=%u Set the bit size of write IO requests. It should be set
with "mode=lfs".
usrquota Enable plain user disk quota accounting.
