f2fs-for-5.9-rc1
f2fs-for-5.9-rc1 In this round, we've added two small interfaces, 1) GC_URGENT_LOW mode for performance, and 2) F2FS_IOC_SEC_TRIM_FILE ioctl for security. The new GC mode allows Android to run some lower priority GCs in background, while new ioctl discards user information without race condition when the account is removed. In addition, some patches were merged to address latency-related issues. We've fixed some compression-related bug fixes as well as edge race conditions. Enhancement: - add GC_URGENT_LOW mode in gc_urgent - introduce F2FS_IOC_SEC_TRIM_FILE ioctl - bypass racy readahead to improve read latencies - shrink node_write lock coverage to avoid long latency Bug fix: - fix missing compression flag control, i_size, and mount option - fix deadlock between quota writes and checkpoint - remove inode eviction path in synchronous path to avoid deadlock - fix to wait GCed compressed page writeback - fix a kernel panic in f2fs_is_compressed_page - check page dirty status before writeback - wait page writeback before update in node page write flow - fix a race condition between f2fs_write_end_io and f2fs_del_fsync_node_entry We've added some minor sanity checks and refactored trivial code blocks for better readability and debugging information.

f2fs-for-5.8
f2fs-for-5.8-rc1 In this round, we've added some knobs to enhance compression feature and harden testing environment. In addition, we've fixed several bugs reported from Android devices such as long discarding latency, device hanging during quota_sync, etc. Enhancement: - support lzo-rle algorithm - add two ioctls to release and reserve blocks for compression - support partial truncation/fiemap on compressed file - introduce sysfs entries to attach IO flags explicitly - add iostat trace point along with read io stat Bug fix: - fix long discard latency - flush quota data by f2fs_quota_sync correctly - fix to recover parent inode number for power-cut recovery - fix lz4/zstd output buffer budget - parse checkpoint mount option correctly - avoid inifinite loop to wait for flushing node/meta pages - manage discard space correctly And some refactoring and clean up patches were added.
