Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
"In this round, key enhancements focus on reducing inode management
memory overhead, introducing resizable tail sections with unified
pinned allocation, and boosting I/O throughput via parallel
multi-device flushes and asynchronous f2fs_write_end_io() execution.
We also add dynamic device alias reservations to allow on-the-fly
space donation from user partitions.
Alongside these features, critical bug fixes resolve folio race
conditions, lingering dirty flags, dentry and block counter leaks, and
potential deadloops in f2fs_fsync_node_pages(). Additional stability
patches address error-path handling across symlink, sync, and
rename/unlink operations, prevent pinned file fragmentation, and
correct segment migration and free section accounting in
free_segment_range.
Enhancements:
- reduce memory footprint of ino management
- support dynamic reserve/release for device aliasing
- issue multi-device flushes in parallel
- add a way to run f2fs_write_end_io() asynchronously
- support resizable tail section and unify pinned allocation
Bug fixes:
- fix to pass folio->index to f2fs_sanity_check_node_footer()
- fix folio_nr_pages() race after put in large folio invalidate
- fix to clear dirty flag on folio in error path
- accurately adjust free_sections during free_segment_range
- fix to avoid potential deadloop in f2fs_fsync_node_pages()
- fix the error path in symlink, device alias in rename/unlink,
f2fs_sync_fs
- fix to migrate all curseg types during free_segment_range
- fix to avoid pinfile fragment on fragment:{block, segment} mode
- fix valid block count leak on data block allocation failure
- fix dentry folio leak in find_in_level
- reject overlapping move range after len expansion
- fix some bugs related to file pinning, GC functions, i_size
And, the series includes a number of minor bug fixes"
