Linus Torvalds ef510682af f2fs-for-5.18
In this cycle, f2fs has some performance improvements for Android workloads such
 as using read-unfair rwsems and adding some sysfs entries to control GCs and
 discard commands in more details. In addtiion, it has some tunings to improve
 the recovery speed after sudden power-cut.
 
 Enhancement:
  - add reader-unfair rwsems with F2FS_UNFAIR_RWSEM
   : will replace with generic API support
  - adjust to make the readahead/recovery flow more efficiently
  - sysfs entries to control issue speeds of GCs and Discard commands
  - enable idmapped mounts
 
 Bug fix:
  - correct wrong error handling routines
  - fix missing conditions in quota
  - fix a potential deadlock between writeback and block plug routines
  - fix a deadlock btween freezefs and evict_inode
 
 We've added some boundary checks to avoid kernel panics on corrupted images,
 and several minor code clean-ups.

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.
