Linus Torvalds fe6f0ed0da f2fs-for-4.19-rc1
In this round, we've tuned f2fs to improve general performance by serializing
 block allocation and enhancing discard flows like fstrim which avoids user IO
 contention. And we've added fsync_mode=nobarrier which gives an option to user
 where it skips issuing cache_flush commands to underlying flash storage. And
 there are many bug fixes related to fuzzed images, revoked atomic writes, quota
 ops, and minor direct IO.
 
 Enhancement:
  - add fsync_mode=nobarrier which bypasses cache_flush command
  - enhance the discarding flow which avoids user IOs and issues in LBA order
  - readahead some encrypted blocks during GC
  - enable in-memory inode checksum to verify the blocks if F2FS_CHECK_FS is set
  - enhance nat_bits behavior
  - set -o discard by default
  - set REQ_RAHEAD to bio in ->readpages
 
 Bug fixes:
  - fix a corner case to corrupt atomic_writes revoking flow
  - revisit i_gc_rwsem to fix race conditions
  - fix some dio behaviors captured by xfstests
  - correct handling errors given by quota-related failures
  - add many sanity check flows to avoid fuzz test failures
  - add more error number propagation to their callers
  - fix several corner cases to continue fault injection w/ shutdown loop
