Linus Torvalds c5d9ab85eb f2fs update for 6.9-rc1
In this round, there are a number of updates on mainly two areas: Zoned block
 device support and Per-file compression. For example, we've found several issues
 to support Zoned block device especially having large sections regarding to GC
 and file pinning used for Android devices. In compression side, we've fixed many
 corner race conditions that had broken the design assumption.
 
 Enhancement:
  - Support file pinning for Zoned block device having large section
  - Enhance the data recovery after sudden power cut on Zoned block device
  - Add more error injection cases to easily detect the kernel panics
  - add a proc entry show the entire disk layout
  - Improve various error paths paniced by BUG_ON in block allocation and GC
  - support SEEK_DATA and SEEK_HOLE for compression files
 
 Bug fix:
  - fix to avoid use-after-free issue in f2fs_filemap_fault
  - fix some race conditions to break the atomic write design assumption
  - fix to truncate meta inode pages forcely
  - resolve various per-file compression issues wrt the space management and
    compression policies
  - fix some swap-related bugs
 
 In addition, we removed deprecated codes such as io_bits and heap_allocation,
 and also fixed minor error handling routines with neat debugging messages.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the ReStructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
