f2fs-for-5.1
f2fs-for-5.1-rc1 We've continued mainly to fix bugs in this round, as f2fs has been shipped in more devices. Especially, we've focused on stabilizing checkpoint=disable feature, and provided some interfaces for QA. Enhancement: - expose FS_NOCOW_FL for pin_file - run discard jobs at unmount time with timeout - tune discarding thread to avoid idling which consumes power - some checking codes to address vulnerabilities - give random value to i_generation - shutdown with more flags for QA Bug fix: - clean up stale objects when mount is failed along with checkpoint=disable - fix system being stuck due to wrong count by atomic writes - handle some corrupted disk cases - fix a deadlock in f2fs_read_inline_dir We've also added some minor build errors and clean-up patches.

f2fs-for-4.21
f2fs-for-4.21-rc1 In this round, we've focused on bug fixes since Pixel devices have been shipping with f2fs. Some of them were related to hardware encryption support which are actually not an issue in mainline, but would be better to merge them in order to avoid potential bugs. Enhancement: - do GC sub-sections when the section is large - add a flag in ioctl(SHUTDOWN) to trigger fsck for QA - use kvmalloc() in order to give another chance to avoid ENOMEM Bug fix: - fix accessing memory boundaries in a malformed iamge - GC gives stale unencrypted block - GC counts in large sections - detect idle time more precisely - block allocation of DIO writes - race conditions between write_begin and write_checkpoint - allow GCs for node segments via ioctl() There are various clean-ups and minor bug fixes as well.
