Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
 "Another round of various bug fixes came in. Damien improved SMR drive
  support a bit, and Chao replaced BUG_ON() with reporting errors to
  user since we've not hit from users but did hit from crafted images.
  We've found a disk layout bug in large_nat_bits feature which supports
  very large NAT entries enabled at mkfs. If the feature is enabled, it
  will give a notice to run fsck to correct the on-disk layout.

  Enhancements:
   - reduce memory consumption for SMR drive
   - better discard handling for multiple partitions
   - tracepoints for f2fs_file_write_iter/f2fs_filemap_fault
   - allow to change CP_CHKSUM_OFFSET
   - detect wrong layout of large_nat_bitmap feature
   - enhance checking valid data indices

  Bug fixes:
   - Multiple partition support for SMR drive
   - deadlock problem in f2fs_balance_fs_bg
   - add boundary checks to fix abnormal behaviors on fuzzed images
   - inline_xattr space calculations
   - replace f2fs_bug_on with errors

  In addition, this series contains various memory boundary check and
  sanity check of on-disk consistency"

Previously, f2fs_is_valid_blkaddr(, blkaddr, DATA_GENERIC) will check
whether @blkaddr locates in main area or not.

That check is weak, since the block address in range of main area can
point to the address which is not valid in segment info table, and we
can not detect such condition, we may suffer worse corruption as system
continues running.

So this patch introduce DATA_GENERIC_ENHANCE to enhance the sanity check
which trigger SIT bitmap check rather than only range check.

This patch did below changes as wel:
- set SBI_NEED_FSCK in f2fs_is_valid_blkaddr().
- get rid of is_valid_data_blkaddr() to avoid panic if blkaddr is invalid.
- introduce verify_fio_blkaddr() to wrap fio {new,old}_blkaddr validation check.
- spread blkaddr check in:
 * f2fs_get_node_info()
 * __read_out_blkaddrs()
 * f2fs_submit_page_read()
 * ra_data_block()
 * do_recover_data()

This patch can fix bug reported from bugzilla below:

= Update by Jaegeuk Kim =

DATA_GENERIC_ENHANCE enhanced to validate block addresses on read/write paths.
But, xfstest/generic/446 compalins some generated kernel messages saying invalid
bitmap was detected when reading a block. The reaons is, when we get the
block addresses from extent_cache, there is no lock to synchronize it from
truncating the blocks in parallel.

This patch introduces f2fs_read_single_page() to wrap core operations
of reading one page in f2fs_mpage_readpages().

In addition, if we failed in f2fs_mpage_readpages(), propagate error
number to f2fs_read_data_page(), for f2fs_read_data_pages() path,
always return success.

As Hagbard Celine reported:

Hi, this is a long standing bug that I've hit before on older kernels,
but I was not able to get the syslog saved because of the nature of
the bug. This time I had booted form a pen-drive, and was able to save
the log to it's efi-partition.
What i did to trigger it was to create a partition and format it f2fs,
then mount it with options:
"rw,relatime,lazytime,background_gc=on,disable_ext_identify,discard,heap,user_xattr,inline_xattr,acl,inline_data,inline_dentry,flush_merge,data_flush,extent_cache,mode=adaptive,active_logs=6,whint_mode=fs-based,alloc_mode=default,fsync_mode=strict".
Then I unpacked a big .tar.xz to the partition (I used a
gentoo-stage3-tarball as I was in process of installing Gentoo).

Same options just without data_flush gives no problems.

As Hagbard Celine reported:

Hi, this is a long standing bug that I've hit before on older kernels,
but I was not able to get the syslog saved because of the nature of
the bug. This time I had booted form a pen-drive, and was able to save
the log to it's efi-partition.
What i did to trigger it was to create a partition and format it f2fs,
then mount it with options:
"rw,relatime,lazytime,background_gc=on,disable_ext_identify,discard,heap,user_xattr,inline_xattr,acl,inline_data,inline_dentry,flush_merge,data_flush,extent_cache,mode=adaptive,active_logs=6,whint_mode=fs-based,alloc_mode=default,fsync_mode=strict".
Then I unpacked a big .tar.xz to the partition (I used a
gentoo-stage3-tarball as I was in process of installing Gentoo).

Same options just without data_flush gives no problems.

The root cause is that we run into an infinite recursive calling in
between f2fs_balance_fs_bg and writepage() as described below:

- f2fs_write_data_pages		--- A
 - __write_data_page
  - f2fs_balance_fs
   - f2fs_balance_fs_bg		--- B
    - f2fs_sync_dirty_inodes
     - filemap_fdatawrite
      - f2fs_write_data_pages	--- A
...
          - f2fs_balance_fs_bg	--- B
...

In order to fix this issue, let's detect such condition in __write_data_page()
and just skip calling f2fs_balance_fs() recursively.

<title>f2fs: Fix use of number of devices</title>

For a single device mount using a zoned block device, the zone
information for the device is stored in the sbi-&gt;devs single entry
array and sbi-&gt;s_ndevs is set to 1. This differs from a single device
mount using a regular block device which does not allocate sbi-&gt;devs
and sets sbi-&gt;s_ndevs to 0.

However, sbi-&gt;s_devs == 0 condition is used throughout the code to
differentiate a single device mount from a multi-device mount where
sbi-&gt;s_ndevs is always larger than 1. This results in problems with
single zoned block device volumes as these are treated as multi-device
mounts but do not have the start_blk and end_blk information set. One
of the problem observed is skipping of zone discard issuing resulting in
write commands being issued to full zones or unaligned to a zone write
pointer.

Fix this problem by simply treating the cases sbi-&gt;s_ndevs == 0 (single
regular block device mount) and sbi-&gt;s_ndevs == 1 (single zoned block
device mount) in the same manner. This is done by introducing the
helper function f2fs_is_multi_device() and using this helper in place
of direct tests of sbi-&gt;s_ndevs value, improving code readability.

Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
 "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.

  Enhancements:
   - 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 fixes:
   - 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 error fixes and clean-up patches"
