Linus Torvalds 3e48a11675 f2fs-for-7.0-rc1
In this development cycle, we focused on several key performance optimizations:
 1) introducing large folio support to enhance read speeds for immutable files,
 2) reducing checkpoint=enable latency by flushing only committed dirty pages,
 and 3) implementing tracepoints to diagnose and resolve lock priority inversion.
 Additionally, we introduced the packed_ssa feature to optimize the SSA footprint
 when utilizing large block sizes.
 
 Enhancement:
  - support large folio for immutable non-compressed case
  - support non-4KB block size without packed_ssa feature
  - optimize f2fs_enable_checkpoint() to avoid long delay
  - optimize f2fs_overwrite_io() for f2fs_iomap_begin
  - optimize NAT block loading during checkpoint write
  - add write latency stats for NAT and SIT blocks in f2fs_write_checkpoint
  - pin files do not require sbi->writepages lock for ordering
  - avoid f2fs_map_blocks() for consecutive holes in readpages
  - flush plug periodically during GC to maximize readahead effect
  - add tracepoints to catch lock overheads
  - add several sysfs entries to tune internal lock priorities
 
 Bug fix:
  - fix lock priority inversion issue
  - fix incomplete block usage in compact SSA summaries
  - fix to show simulate_lock_timeout correctly
  - fix to avoid mapping wrong physical block for swapfile
  - fix IS_CHECKPOINTED flag inconsistency issue caused by concurrent atomic
    commit and checkpoint writes
  - fix to avoid UAF in f2fs_write_end_io()
