This patch adds a dynamic management feature to the existing device aliasing functionality. It allows users to dynamically reserve or release specific devices from the filesystem's free pool at runtime through new ioctls. To support this, three new ioctls are introduced: - F2FS_IOC_RESERVE_DEV_ALIAS: This reclaims the space occupied by a device aliasing file. It first performs a capacity check, resets GC victim information for the target range, marks the segments as in-use to prevent new allocations, and then triggers GC to migrate existing valid data out of the range. Finally, it reserves these blocks in the SIT to effectively exclude the device from the usable capacity. - F2FS_IOC_RELEASE_DEV_ALIAS: This releases the reserved space of a previously reserved device aliasing file. It truncates the blocks associated with the file, which makes them available for general filesystem allocation again. - F2FS_IOC_GET_DEV_ALIAS_STATUS: This retrieves the current aliasing status of a device aliasing file, returning whether the file is released (inactive alias) or reserved (active alias, with blocks fully allocated on the device).
