Pull new zonefs file system from Damien Le Moal:
"Zonefs is a very simple file system exposing each zone of a zoned
block device as a file.
Unlike a regular file system with native zoned block device support
(e.g. f2fs or the on-going btrfs effort), zonefs does not hide the
sequential write constraint of zoned block devices to the user. As a
result, zonefs is not a POSIX compliant file system. Its goal is to
simplify the implementation of zoned block devices support in
applications by replacing raw block device file accesses with a richer
file based API, avoiding relying on direct block device file ioctls
which may be more obscure to developers.
One example of this approach is the implementation of LSM
(log-structured merge) tree structures (such as used in RocksDB and
LevelDB) on zoned block devices by allowing SSTables to be stored in a
zone file similarly to a regular file system rather than as a range of
sectors of a zoned device. The introduction of the higher level
construct "one file is one zone" can help reducing the amount of
changes needed in the application while at the same time allowing the
use of zoned block devices with various programming languages other
than C.
Zonefs IO management implementation uses the new iomap generic code.
Zonefs has been successfully tested using a functional test suite
(available with zonefs userland format tool on github) and a prototype
implementation of LevelDB on top of zonefs"

Pull vfs file system parameter updates from Al Viro:
"Saner fs_parser.c guts and data structures. The system-wide registry
of syntax types (string/enum/int32/oct32/.../etc.) is gone and so is
the horror switch() in fs_parse() that would have to grow another case
every time something got added to that system-wide registry.
New syntax types can be added by filesystems easily now, and their
namespace is that of functions - not of system-wide enum members. IOW,
they can be shared or kept private and if some turn out to be widely
useful, we can make them common library helpers, etc., without having
to do anything whatsoever to fs_parse() itself.
And we already get that kind of requests - the thing that finally
pushed me into doing that was "oh, and let's add one for timeouts -
things like 15s or 2h". If some filesystem really wants that, let them
do it. Without somebody having to play gatekeeper for the variants
blessed by direct support in fs_parse(), TYVM.
Quite a bit of boilerplate is gone. And IMO the data structures make a
lot more sense now. -200LoC, while we are at it"

Its behaviour is identical to that of fs_value_is_filename.
It makes no sense, anyway - LOOKUP_EMPTY affects nothing
whatsoever once the pathname has been imported from userland.
And both fs_value_is_filename and fs_value_is_filename_empty
carry an already imported pathname.

Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
"In this series, we've implemented transparent compression
experimentally. It supports LZO and LZ4, but will add more later as we
investigate in the field more.
At this point, the feature doesn't expose compressed space to user
directly in order to guarantee potential data updates later to the
space. Instead, the main goal is to reduce data writes to flash disk
as much as possible, resulting in extending disk life time as well as
relaxing IO congestion.
Alternatively, we're also considering to add ioctl() to reclaim
compressed space and show it to user after putting the immutable bit.
Enhancements:
- add compression support
- avoid unnecessary locks in quota ops
- harden power-cut scenario for zoned block devices
- use private bio_set to avoid IO congestion
- replace GC mutex with rwsem to serialize callers
Bug fixes:
- fix dentry consistency and memory corruption in rename()'s error case
- fix wrong swap extent reports
- fix casefolding bugs
- change lock coverage to avoid deadlock
- avoid GFP_KERNEL under f2fs_lock_op
And, we've cleaned up sysfs entries to prepare no debugfs"
