Merge tag 'f2fs-for-5.14-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jaegeuk/f2fs
Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
"In this round, we've improved the compression support especially for
Android such as allowing compression for mmap files, replacing the
immutable bit with internal bit to prohibits data writes explicitly,
and adding a mount option, "compress_cache", to improve random reads.
And, we added "readonly" feature to compact the partition w/
compression enabled, which will be useful for Android RO partitions.
Enhancements:
- support compression for mmap file
- use an f2fs flag instead of IMMUTABLE bit for compression
- support RO feature w/ extent_cache
- fully support swapfile with file pinning
- improve atgc tunability
- add nocompress extensions to unselect files for compression
Bug fixes:
- fix false alaram on iget failure during GC
- fix race condition on global pointers when there are multiple f2fs
instances
- add MODULE_SOFTDEP for initramfs
As usual, we've also cleaned up some places for better code
readability (e.g., sysfs/feature, debugging messages, slab cache
name, and docs)"
