![]() In this round, we've mostly tuned f2fs to provide better user experience for Android. Especially, we've worked on atomic write feature again with SQLite community in order to support it officially. And we added or modified several facilities to analyze and enhance IO behaviors. Major changes include: - add app/fs io stat - add inode checksum feature - support project/journalled quota - enhance atomic write with new ioctl() which exposes feature set - enhance background gc/discard/fstrim flows with new gc_urgent mode - add F2FS_IOC_FS{GET,SET}XATTR - fix some quota flows -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCAAdFiEE00UqedjCtOrGVvQiQBSofoJIUNIFAlm4brsACgkQQBSofoJI UNK6dw/+Jd0j2whU5oxRcxZ6aL1Pj9fp2IdnGk1NbAI2mKAAlGknE/8CDS9OOMdO y8O0x3H271DXTMfHJAq2pAfJzcMhiT/Wmw2UsHvmHU0mPmfDcSBKEqPQj6Nbl483 4s1dyt20InfHsVaKhUWAhov14bxLSiQTfeFH0SL2qv/NTp1Xlp6mwQvKCrmNNxud coUL45Zk5uVAVckR0hsyfqudvdXM1LTDG0Y6/j0IaFtO9HqyAEgkILiSqL65TpBV 2OrXsTf0p2HN9g8vSUUouyD4Oj+q1OHt+VN7gw03xXm3TqAaqnkpIq/dtGLEPyM5 HD6Q2nDHDTLeKO2Ibi9C0f+bph4UqrCq/eoAjG1sM+6Sm+Hyf193FLR/E2R9aj8w ++lCoHUSf/krrMs9d+vnNWaTsKszAbAQRLiZaSHi21+0lcDZtYejNsm52LpDMAfO jzz+TTOvXTSlHWSlt8DRKVolNhMRFy9OYIJ0schYYD6FJldARmBMfcZosrhL1Xoh oU/bBaXwMv1XOWAOGCQbGrqREiciqXbKDGPQJq65Zvn60U6YzZf04wDbm0zXku5E x7S8kPxz8c/010JHIxvULZRamlvXSjFevbAa+QtNsEhlj6DkDSdisMj+w7/jU4Yx uInHojIq7ARJO0SBIoYFkz3+/2w++McCK0b/gpx1WHsN8I013zs= =w4KH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'f2fs-for-4.14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jaegeuk/f2fs Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim: "In this round, we've mostly tuned f2fs to provide better user experience for Android.

This directory attempts to document the ABI between the Linux kernel and userspace, and the relative stability of these interfaces. Due to the everchanging nature of Linux, and the differing maturity levels, these interfaces should be used by userspace programs in different ways. We have four different levels of ABI stability, as shown by the four different subdirectories in this location. Interfaces may change levels of stability according to the rules described below. The different levels of stability are: stable/ This directory documents the interfaces that the developer has defined to be stable. Userspace programs are free to use these interfaces with no restrictions, and backward compatibility for them will be guaranteed for at least 2 years. Most interfaces (like syscalls) are expected to never change and always be available. testing/ This directory documents interfaces that are felt to be stable, as the main development of this interface has been completed. The interface can be changed to add new features, but the current interface will not break by doing this, unless grave errors or security problems are found in them. Userspace programs can start to rely on these interfaces, but they must be aware of changes that can occur before these interfaces move to be marked stable. Programs that use these interfaces are strongly encouraged to add their name to the description of these interfaces, so that the kernel developers can easily notify them if any changes occur (see the description of the layout of the files below for details on how to do this.) obsolete/ This directory documents interfaces that are still remaining in the kernel, but are marked to be removed at some later point in time. The description of the interface will document the reason why it is obsolete and when it can be expected to be removed. removed/ This directory contains a list of the old interfaces that have been removed from the kernel. Every file in these directories will contain the following information: What: Short description of the interface Date: Date created KernelVersion: Kernel version this feature first showed up in. Contact: Primary contact for this interface (may be a mailing list) Description: Long description of the interface and how to use it. Users: All users of this interface who wish to be notified when it changes. This is very important for interfaces in the "testing" stage, so that kernel developers can work with userspace developers to ensure that things do not break in ways that are unacceptable. It is also important to get feedback for these interfaces to make sure they are working in a proper way and do not need to be changed further. How things move between levels: Interfaces in stable may move to obsolete, as long as the proper notification is given. Interfaces may be removed from obsolete and the kernel as long as the documented amount of time has gone by. Interfaces in the testing state can move to the stable state when the developers feel they are finished. They cannot be removed from the kernel tree without going through the obsolete state first. It's up to the developer to place their interfaces in the category they wish for it to start out in. Notable bits of non-ABI, which should not under any circumstances be considered stable: - Kconfig. Userspace should not rely on the presence or absence of any particular Kconfig symbol, in /proc/config.gz, in the copy of .config commonly installed to /boot, or in any invocation of the kernel build process. - Kernel-internal symbols. Do not rely on the presence, absence, location, or type of any kernel symbol, either in System.map files or the kernel binary itself. See Documentation/process/stable-api-nonsense.rst.
