Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
 "In this round, we've mainly focused on discard, aka unmap, control
  along with fstrim for Android-specific usage model. In addition, we've
  fixed writepage flow which returned EAGAIN previously resulting in EIO
  of fsync(2) due to mapping's error state. In order to avoid old MM bug
  [1], we decided not to use __GFP_ZERO for the mapping for node and
  meta page caches. As always, we've cleaned up many places for future
  fsverity and symbol conflicts.

  Enhancements:
   - do discard/fstrim in lower priority considering fs utilization
   - split large discard commands into smaller ones for better responsiveness
   - add more sanity checks to address syzbot reports
   - add a mount option, fsync_mode=nobarrier, which can reduce # of cache flushes
   - clean up symbol namespace with modified function names
   - be strict on block allocation and IO control in corner cases

  Bug fixes:
   - don't use __GFP_ZERO for mappings
   - fix error reports in writepage to avoid fsync() failure
   - avoid selinux denial on CAP_RESOURCE on resgid/resuid
   - fix some subtle race conditions in GC/atomic writes/shutdown
   - fix overflow bugs in sanity_check_raw_super
   - fix missing bits on get_flags

  Clean-ups:
   - prepare the generic flow for future fsverity integration
   - fix some broken coding standard"

As Ted reported:

"Hi, I was looking at f2fs's sources recently, and I noticed that there
is a very large number of non-static symbols which don't have a f2fs
prefix.  There's well over a hundred (see attached below).

As one example, in fs/f2fs/dir.c there is:

unsigned char get_de_type(struct f2fs_dir_entry *de)

This function is clearly only useful for f2fs, but it has a generic
name.  This means that if any other file system tries to have the same
symbol name, there will be a symbol conflict and the kernel would not
successfully build.  It also means that when someone is looking f2fs
sources, it's not at all obvious whether a function such as
read_data_page(), invalidate_blocks(), is a generic kernel function
found in the fs, mm, or block layers, or a f2fs specific function.

You might want to fix this at some point.  Hopefully Kent's bcachefs
isn't similarly using genericly named functions, since that might
cause conflicts with f2fs's functions --- but just as this would be a
problem that we would rightly insist that Kent fix, this is something
that we should have rightly insisted that f2fs should have fixed
before it was integrated into the mainline kernel.

acquire_orphan_inode
add_ino_entry
add_orphan_inode
allocate_data_block
allocate_new_segments
alloc_nid
alloc_nid_done
alloc_nid_failed
available_free_memory
...."

This patch adds "f2fs_" prefix for all non-static symbols in order to:
a) avoid conflict with other kernel generic symbols;
b) to indicate the function is f2fs specific one instead of generic
one;

Previously, we allocate memory for sbi-&gt;gc_thread based on background
gc thread mount option, the memory can be released if we turn off
that mount option, but still there are several places access gc_thread
pointer without considering race condition, result in NULL point
dereference.

In order to fix this issue, use sb-&gt;s_umount to exclude those operations.

Now, we issue discard asynchronously in separated thread instead of in
checkpoint, after that, we won't encounter long latency in checkpoint
due to huge number of synchronous discard command handling, so, we don't
need to split checkpoint to do trim in batch, merge it and obsolete
related sysfs entry.

<content type='text'>
This patch introduces a new feature, F2FS_FEATURE_LOST_FOUND, which
is set by mkfs. mkfs creates a directory named lost+found, which saves
unreachable files. If fsck finds a file which has no parent, or its
parent is removed by fsck, the file will be placed under lost+found
directory by fsck.

lost+found directory could not be encrypted. As a result, the root
directory cannot be encrypted too. So if LOST_FOUND feature is enabled,
let's avoid to encrypt root directory.

<content type='text'>
This patch supports to recognize hot file extension in f2fs, so that we
can allocate proper hot segment location for its data, which can lead to
better hot/cold seperation in filesystem.

In addition, we changes a bit on query/add/del operation method for
extension_list sysfs entry as below:

- Query: cat /sys/fs/f2fs/&lt;disk&gt;/extension_list
- Add: echo 'extension' &gt; /sys/fs/f2fs/&lt;disk&gt;/extension_list
- Del: echo '!extension' &gt; /sys/fs/f2fs/&lt;disk&gt;/extension_list
- Add: echo '[h/c]extension' &gt; /sys/fs/f2fs/&lt;disk&gt;/extension_list
- Del: echo '[h/c]!extension' &gt; /sys/fs/f2fs/&lt;disk&gt;/extension_list
- [h] means add/del hot file extension
- [c] means add/del cold file extension
