Linus Torvalds 3da90b159b f2fs-for-4.16-rc1
In this round, we've followed up to support some generic features such as
 cgroup, block reservation, linking fscrypt_ops, delivering write_hints,
 and some ioctls. And, we could fix some corner cases in terms of power-cut
 recovery and subtle deadlocks.
 
 Enhancement:
  - bitmap operations to handle NAT blocks
  - readahead to improve readdir speed
  - switch to use fscrypt_*
  - apply write hints for direct IO
  - add reserve_root=%u,resuid=%u,resgid=%u to reserve blocks for root/uid/gid
  - modify b_avail and b_free to consider root reserved blocks
  - support cgroup writeback
  - support FIEMAP_FLAG_XATTR for fibmap
  - add F2FS_IOC_PRECACHE_EXTENTS to pre-cache extents
  - add F2FS_IOC_{GET/SET}_PIN_FILE to pin LBAs for data blocks
  - support inode creation time
 
 Bug fix:
  - sysfile-based quota operations
  - memory footprint accounting
  - allow to write data on partial preallocation case
  - fix deadlock case on fallocate
  - fix to handle fill_super errors
  - fix missing inode updates of fsync'ed file
  - recover renamed file which was fsycn'ed before
  - drop inmemory pages in corner error case
  - keep last_disk_size correctly
  - recover missing i_inline flags during roll-forward
 
 Various clean-up patches were added as well.
