Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
 "In this cycle, f2fs has some performance improvements for Android
  workloads such as using read-unfair rwsems and adding some sysfs
  entries to control GCs and discard commands in more details. In
  addtiion, it has some tunings to improve the recovery speed after
  sudden power-cut.

  Enhancement:
   - add reader-unfair rwsems with F2FS_UNFAIR_RWSEM: will replace with
     generic API support
   - adjust to make the readahead/recovery flow more efficiently
   - sysfs entries to control issue speeds of GCs and Discard commands
   - enable idmapped mounts

  Bug fix:
   - correct wrong error handling routines
   - fix missing conditions in quota
   - fix a potential deadlock between writeback and block plug routines
   - fix a deadlock btween freezefs and evict_inode

  We've added some boundary checks to avoid kernel panics on corrupted
  images, and several minor code clean-ups"

We need a mid level of gc urgent mode to do GC forcibly in a period
of given gc_urgent_sleep_time, but not like using greedy GC approach
and switching to SSR mode such as gc urgent high mode. This can be
used for more aggressive periodic storage clean up.

This adds a sysfs entry to call checkpoint during fsync() in order to avoid
long elapsed time to run roll-forward recovery when booting the device.
Default value doesn't enforce the limitation which is same as before.

This patch exposes max_discard_request, min_discard_issue_time,
mid_discard_issue_time, and max_discard_issue_time in sysfs. This will
allow the user to fine tune discard operations.

f2fs rw_semaphores work better if writers can starve readers,
especially for the checkpoint thread, because writers are strictly
more important than reader threads. This prevents significant priority
inversion between low-priority readers that blocked while trying to
acquire the read lock and a second acquisition of the write lock that
might be blocking high priority work.

Turn the CONFIG_UNICODE symbol into a tristate that generates some always
built in code and remove the confusing CONFIG_UNICODE_UTF8_DATA symbol.

Note that a lot of the IS_ENABLED() checks could be turned from cpp
statements into normal ifs, but this change is intended to be fairly
mechanic, so that should be cleaned up later.

Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
 "In this round, we've tried to address some performance issues in
  f2fs_checkpoint and direct IO flows. Also, there was a work to enhance
  the page cache management used for compression. Other than them, we've
  done typical work including sysfs, code clean-ups, tracepoint, sanity
  check, in addition to bug fixes on corner cases.

  Enhancements:
   - use iomap for direct IO
   - try to avoid lock contention to improve f2fs_ckpt speed
   - avoid unnecessary memory allocation in compression flow
   - POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED drops the page cache containing compression
     pages
   - add some sysfs entries (gc_urgent_high_remaining, pending_discard)

  Bug fixes:
   - try not to expose unwritten blocks to user by DIO (this was added
     to avoid merge conflict; another patch is coming to address other
     missing case)
   - relax minor error condition for file pinning feature used in
     Android OTA
   - fix potential deadlock case in compression flow
   - should not truncate any block on pinned file

  In addition, we've done some code clean-ups and tracepoint/sanity
  check improvement"
