Merge tag 'for-f2fs-4.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jaegeuk/f2fs
Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim: "The major change in this version is mitigating cpu overheads on write paths by replacing redundant inode page updates with mark_inode_dirty calls. And we tried to reduce lock contentions as well to improve filesystem scalability. Other feature is setting F2FS automatically when detecting host-managed SMR. Enhancements: - ioctl to move a range of data between files - inject orphan inode errors - avoid flush commands congestion - support lazytime Bug fixes: - return proper results for some dentry operations - fix deadlock in add_link failure - disable extent_cache for fcollapse/finsert" * tag 'for-f2fs-4.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jaegeuk/f2fs: (68 commits) f2fs: clean up coding style and redundancy f2fs: get victim segment again after new cp f2fs: handle error case with f2fs_bug_on f2fs: avoid data race when deciding checkpoin in f2fs_sync_file f2fs: support an ioctl to move a range of data blocks f2fs: fix to report error number of f2fs_find_entry f2fs: avoid memory allocation failure due to a long length f2fs: reset default idle interval value f2fs: use blk_plug in all the possible paths f2fs: fix to avoid data update racing between GC and DIO f2fs: add maximum prefree segments f2fs: disable extent_cache for fcollapse/finsert inodes f2fs: refactor __exchange_data_block for speed up f2fs: fix ERR_PTR returned by bio f2fs: avoid mark_inode_dirty f2fs: move i_size_write in f2fs_write_end f2fs: fix to avoid redundant discard during fstrim f2fs: avoid mismatching block range for discard f2fs: fix incorrect f_bfree calculation in ->statfs f2fs: use percpu_rw_semaphore ...
