Currently f2fs stats are only available from /d/f2fs/status. This patch
adds some of the f2fs stats to sysfs so that they are accessible even
when debugfs is not mounted.

The following sysfs nodes are added:
-/sys/fs/f2fs/&lt;disk&gt;/free_segments
-/sys/fs/f2fs/&lt;disk&gt;/cp_foreground_calls
-/sys/fs/f2fs/&lt;disk&gt;/cp_background_calls
-/sys/fs/f2fs/&lt;disk&gt;/gc_foreground_calls
-/sys/fs/f2fs/&lt;disk&gt;/gc_background_calls
-/sys/fs/f2fs/&lt;disk&gt;/moved_blocks_foreground
-/sys/fs/f2fs/&lt;disk&gt;/moved_blocks_background
-/sys/fs/f2fs/&lt;disk&gt;/avg_vblocks

This patch tries to support compression in f2fs.

- New term named cluster is defined as basic unit of compression, file can
be divided into multiple clusters logically. One cluster includes 4 &lt;&lt; n
(n &gt;= 0) logical pages, compression size is also cluster size, each of
cluster can be compressed or not.

- In cluster metadata layout, one special flag is used to indicate cluster
is compressed one or normal one, for compressed cluster, following metadata
maps cluster to [1, 4 &lt;&lt; n - 1] physical blocks, in where f2fs stores
data including compress header and compressed data.

- In order to eliminate write amplification during overwrite, F2FS only
support compression on write-once file, data can be compressed only when
all logical blocks in file are valid and cluster compress ratio is lower
than specified threshold.

- To enable compression on regular inode, there are three ways:
* chattr +c file
* chattr +c dir; touch dir/file
* mount w/ -o compress_extension=ext; touch file.ext

Compress metadata layout:
                             [Dnode Structure]
             +-----------------------------------------------+
             | cluster 1 | cluster 2 | ......... | cluster N |

Changelog:

20190326:
- fix error handling of read_end_io().
- remove unneeded comments in f2fs_encrypt_one_page().

20190327:
- fix wrong use of f2fs_cluster_is_full() in f2fs_mpage_readpages().
- don't jump into loop directly to avoid uninitialized variables.
- add TODO tag in error path of f2fs_write_cache_pages().

20190328:
- fix wrong merge condition in f2fs_read_multi_pages().
- check compressed file in f2fs_post_read_required().

20190401

  it shows low performance due to schedule overhead of multiple
  workqueue executing orderly.

20190921
- compress: support buffered overwrite
C: compress cluster flag
V: valid block address
N: NEW_ADDR

One cluster contain 4 blocks

 before overwrite   after overwrite

- CVNN		-&gt;	CVNN
- CVNN		-&gt;	CVVV

- CVVV		-&gt;	CVNN
- CVVV		-&gt;	CVVV

20191029
- add kconfig F2FS_FS_COMPRESSION to isolate compression related
codes, add kconfig F2FS_FS_{LZO,LZ4} to cover backend algorithm.
note that: will remove lzo backend if Jaegeuk agreed that too.

<content type='text'>
Expose in /sys/fs/f2fs/&lt;blockdev&gt;/main_blkaddr the block address where the
main area starts. This allows user mode programs to determine:

- That pinned files that are made exclusively of fully allocated 2MB
  segments will never be unpinned by the file system.

- Where the main area starts. This is required by programs that want to
  verify if a file is made exclusively of 2MB f2fs segments, the alignment
  boundary for segments starts at this address. Testing for 2MB alignment
  relative to the start of the device is incorrect, because for some
  filesystems main_blkaddr is not at a 2MB boundary relative to the start
  of the device.

The entry will be used when validating reliable pinning file feature proposed
by "f2fs: support aligned pinned file".

<content type='text'>
Add charset encoding to f2fs to support casefolding. It is modeled after
the same feature introduced in commit c83ad55eaa91 ("ext4: include charset
encoding information in the superblock")

Currently this is not compatible with encryption, similar to the current
ext4 imlpementation. This will change in the future.

&gt;From the ext4 patch:
"""
The s_encoding field stores a magic number indicating the encoding
format and version used globally by file and directory names in the
filesystem.  The s_encoding_flags defines policies for using the charset
encoding, like how to handle invalid sequences.  The magic number is
mapped to the exact charset table, but the mapping is specific to ext4.
Since we don't have any commitment to support old encodings, the only
encoding I am supporting right now is utf8-12.1.0.

The current implementation prevents the user from enabling encoding and
per-directory encryption on the same filesystem at the same time.  The
incompatibility between these features lies in how we do efficient
directory searches when we cannot be sure the encryption of the user
provided fname will match the actual hash stored in the disk without
decrypting every directory entry, because of normalization cases.  My
quickest solution is to simply block the concurrent use of these
features for now, and enable it later, once we have a better solution.

<title>f2fs: add fs-verity support</title>

Add fs-verity support to f2fs.  fs-verity is a filesystem feature that
enables transparent integrity protection and authentication of read-only
files.  It uses a dm-verity like mechanism at the file level: a Merkle
tree is used to verify any block in the file in log(filesize) time.  It
is implemented mainly by helper functions in fs/verity/.  See
Documentation/filesystems/fsverity.rst for the full documentation.

The f2fs support for fs-verity consists of:

- Adding a filesystem feature flag and an inode flag for fs-verity.

- Implementing the fsverity_operations to support enabling verity on an
  inode and reading/writing the verity metadata.

- Updating -&gt;readpages() to verify data as it's read from verity files
  and to support reading verity metadata pages.

- Updating -&gt;write_begin(), -&gt;write_end(), and -&gt;writepages() to support
  writing verity metadata pages.

- Calling the fs-verity hooks for -&gt;open(), -&gt;setattr(), and -&gt;ioctl().

Like ext4, f2fs stores the verity metadata (Merkle tree and
fsverity_descriptor) past the end of the file, starting at the first 64K
boundary beyond i_size.  This approach works because (a) verity files
are readonly, and (b) pages fully beyond i_size aren't visible to
userspace but can be read/written internally by f2fs with only some
relatively small changes to f2fs.  Extended attributes cannot be used
because (a) f2fs limits the total size of an inode's xattr entries to
4096 bytes, which wouldn't be enough for even a single Merkle tree
block, and (b) f2fs encryption doesn't encrypt xattrs, yet the verity
metadata *must* be encrypted when the file is because it contains hashes
of the plaintext data.
