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.
Enhancement:
- 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 fix:
- 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)

When we create a directory with enable compression, all file write into
directory will try to compress.But sometimes we may know, new file
cannot meet compression ratio requirements.
We need a nocompress extension to skip those files to avoid unnecessary
compress page test.
After add nocompress_extension, the priority should be:
dir_flag < comp_extention,nocompress_extension < comp_file_flag,
no_comp_file_flag.
Priority in between FS_COMPR_FL, FS_NOCOMP_FS, extensions:
* compress_extension=so; nocompress_extension=zip; chattr +c dir;
touch dir/foo.so; touch dir/bar.zip; touch dir/baz.txt; then foo.so
and baz.txt should be compresse, bar.zip should be non-compressed.
chattr +c dir/bar.zip can enable compress on bar.zip.
* compress_extension=so; nocompress_extension=zip; chattr -c dir;
touch dir/foo.so; touch dir/bar.zip; touch dir/baz.txt; then foo.so
should be compresse, bar.zip and baz.txt should be non-compressed.
chattr+c dir/bar.zip; chattr+c dir/baz.txt; can enable compress on

In this round, we added a new mount option, "checkpoint_merge", which introduces
a kernel thread dealing with the f2fs checkpoints. Once we start to manage the
IO priority along with blk-cgroup, the checkpoint operation can be processed in
a lower priority under the process context. Since the checkpoint holds all the
filesystem operations, we give a higher priority to the checkpoint thread all
the time.
Enhancement:
- introduce gc_merge mount option to introduce a checkpoint thread
- improve to run discard thread efficiently
- allow modular compression algorithms
- expose # of overprivision segments to sysfs
- expose runtime compression stat to sysfs
Bug fix:
- fix OOB memory access by the node id lookup
- avoid touching checkpointed data in the checkpoint-disabled mode
- fix the resizing flow to avoid kernel panic and race conditions
- fix block allocation issues on pinned files
- address some swapfile issues
- fix hugtask problem and kernel panic during atomic write operations
- don't start checkpoint thread in RO
And, we've cleaned up some kernel coding style and build warnings. In addition,

Merge tag 'netfs-lib-20210426' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs
Pull network filesystem helper library updates from David Howells:
"Here's a set of patches for 5.13 to begin the process of overhauling
the local caching API for network filesystems. This set consists of
two parts:
(1) Add a helper library to handle the new VM readahead interface.
This is intended to be used unconditionally by the filesystem
(whether or not caching is enabled) and provides a common
framework for doing caching, transparent huge pages and, in the
future, possibly fscrypt and read bandwidth maximisation. It also
allows the netfs and the cache to align, expand and slice up a
read request from the VM in various ways; the netfs need only
provide a function to read a stretch of data to the pagecache and
the helper takes care of the rest.
(2) Add an alternative fscache/cachfiles I/O API that uses the kiocb
facility to do async DIO to transfer data to/from the netfs's
pages, rather than using readpage with wait queue snooping on one
side and vfs_write() on the other. It also uses less memory, since
it doesn't do buffered I/O on the backing file.
Note that this uses SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA to locate the data
available to be read from the cache. Whilst this is an improvement
from the bmap interface, it still has a problem with regard to a
modern extent-based filesystem inserting or removing bridging
blocks of zeros. Fixing that requires a much greater overhaul.
This is a step towards overhauling the fscache API. The change is
opt-in on the part of the network filesystem. A netfs should not try
to mix the old and the new API because of conflicting ways of handling
pages and the PG_fscache page flag and because it would be mixing DIO
with buffered I/O. Further, the helper library can't be used with the
old API.
This does not change any of the fscache cookie handling APIs or the
way invalidation is done at this time.
In the near term, I intend to deprecate and remove the old I/O API
(fscache_allocate_page{,s}(), fscache_read_or_alloc_page{,s}(),
fscache_write_page() and fscache_uncache_page()) and eventually
replace most of fscache/cachefiles with something simpler and easier
to follow.
This patchset contains the following parts:
- Some helper patches, including provision of an ITER_XARRAY iov
iterator and a function to do readahead expansion.
- Patches to add the netfs helper library.
- A patch to add the fscache/cachefiles kiocb API.
- A pair of patches to fix some review issues in the ITER_XARRAY and
read helpers as spotted by Al and Willy.
Jeff Layton has patches to add support in Ceph for this that he
intends for this merge window. I have a set of patches to support AFS
that I will post a separate pull request for.
With this, AFS without a cache passes all expected xfstests; with a
cache, there's an extra failure, but that's also there before these
patches. Fixing that probably requires a greater overhaul. Ceph also
passes the expected tests.
I also have patches in a separate branch to tidy up the handling of
PG_fscache/PG_private_2 and their contribution to page refcounting in
the core kernel here, but I haven't included them in this set and will
route them separately"

There's a substantial amount of boilerplate in filesystems handling
FS_IOC_[GS]ETFLAGS/ FS_IOC_FS[GS]ETXATTR ioctls.
Also due to userspace buffers being involved in the ioctl API this is
difficult to stack, as shown by overlayfs issues related to these ioctls.
Introduce a new internal API named "fileattr" (fsxattr can be confused with
xattr, xflags is inappropriate, since this is more than just flags).
There's significant overlap between flags and xflags and this API handles
the conversions automatically, so filesystems may choose which one to use.
In ->fileattr_get() a hint is provided to the filesystem whether flags or
xattr are being requested by userspace, but in this series this hint is
ignored by all filesystems, since generating all the attributes is cheap.
If a filesystem doesn't implemement the fileattr API, just fall back to
f_op->ioctl(). When all filesystems are converted, the fallback can be
removed.
32bit compat ioctls are now handled by the generic code as well.

Commit a888db3101 ("ovl: fix regression with re-formatted lower
squashfs") attempted to fix a regression with existing setups that
use a practice that we are trying to discourage.
The discourage part was described this way in the commit message:
"To avoid the reported regression while still allowing the new features
with single lower squashfs, do not allow decoding origin with lower null
uuid unless user opted-in to one of the new features that require
following the lower inode of non-dir upper (index, xino, metacopy)."
The three mentioned features are disabled by default in Kconfig, so
it was assumed that if they are enabled, the user opted-in for them.
Apparently, distros started to configure CONFIG_OVERLAY_FS_XINO_AUTO=y
some time ago, so users upgrading their kernels can still be affected
by said regression even though they never opted-in for any new feature.
To fix this, treat "xino=on" as "user opted-in", but not "xino=auto".
Since we are changing the behavior of "xino=auto" to no longer follow
to lower origin with null uuid, take this one step further and disable
xino in that corner case. To be consistent, disable xino also in cases
of lower fs without file handle support and upper fs without xattr
support.
Update documentation w.r.t the new "xino=auto" behavior and fix the out
dated bits of documentation regarding "xino" and regarding offline
modifications to lower layers.

This adds support for encryption with casefolding.
Since the name on disk is case preserving, and also encrypted, we can no
longer just recompute the hash on the fly. Additionally, to avoid
leaking extra information from the hash of the unencrypted name, we use
siphash via an fscrypt v2 policy.
The hash is stored at the end of the directory entry for all entries
inside of an encrypted and casefolded directory apart from those that
deal with '.' and '..'. This way, the change is backwards compatible
with existing ext4 filesystems.
