Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
 "In this round, we've added two features: F2FS_IOC_START_ATOMIC_REPLACE
  and a per-block age-based extent cache.

  F2FS_IOC_START_ATOMIC_REPLACE is a variant of the previous atomic
  write feature which guarantees a per-file atomicity. It would be more
  efficient than AtomicFile implementation in Android framework.

  The per-block age-based extent cache implements another type of extent
  cache in memory which keeps the per-block age in a file, so that block
  allocator could split the hot and cold data blocks more accurately.

  Enhancements:
   - introduce F2FS_IOC_START_ATOMIC_REPLACE
   - refactor extent_cache to add a new per-block-age-based extent cache support
   - introduce discard_urgent_util, gc_mode, max_ordered_discard sysfs knobs
   - add proc entry to show discard_plist info
   - optimize iteration over sparse directories
   - add barrier mount option

  Bug fixes:
   - avoid victim selection from previous victim section
   - fix to enable compress for newly created file if extension matches
   - set zstd compress level correctly
   - initialize locks early in f2fs_fill_super() to fix bugs reported by syzbot
   - correct i_size change for atomic writes
   - allow to read node block after shutdown
   - allow to set compression for inlined file
   - fix gc mode when gc_urgent_high_remaining is 1
   - should put a page when checking the summary info

  Minor fixes and various clean-ups in GC, discard, debugfs, sysfs, and
  doc"

Pull VFS acl updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains the work that builds a dedicated vfs posix acl api.

  The origins of this work trace back to v5.19 but it took quite a while
  to understand the various filesystem specific implementations in
  sufficient detail and also come up with an acceptable solution.

  As we discussed and seen multiple times the current state of how posix
  acls are handled isn't nice and comes with a lot of problems: The
  current way of handling posix acls via the generic xattr api is error
  prone, hard to maintain, and type unsafe for the vfs until we call
  into the filesystem's dedicated get and set inode operations.

  It is already the case that posix acls are special-cased to death all
  the way through the vfs. There are an uncounted number of hacks that
  operate on the uapi posix acl struct instead of the dedicated vfs
  struct posix_acl. And the vfs must be involved in order to interpret
  and fixup posix acls before storing them to the backing store, caching
  them, reporting them to userspace, or for permission checking.

  Currently a range of hacks and duct tape exist to make this work. As
  with most things this is really no ones fault it's just something that
  happened over time. But the code is hard to understand and difficult
  to maintain and one is constantly at risk of introducing bugs and
  regressions when having to touch it.

  Instead of continuing to hack posix acls through the xattr handlers
  this series builds a dedicated posix acl api solely around the get and
  set inode operations.

  Going forward, the vfs_get_acl(), vfs_remove_acl(), and vfs_set_acl()
  helpers must be used in order to interact with posix acls. They
  operate directly on the vfs internal struct posix_acl instead of
  abusing the uapi posix acl struct as we currently do. In the end this
  removes all of the hackiness, makes the codepaths easier to maintain,
  and gets us type safety.

  This series passes the LTP and xfstests suites without any
  regressions. For xfstests the following combinations were tested:
   - xfs
   - ext4
   - btrfs
   - overlayfs
   - overlayfs on top of idmapped mounts
   - orangefs
   - (limited) cifs

  There's more simplifications for posix acls that we can make in the
  future if the basic api has made it.

  A few implementation details:

   - The series makes sure to retain exactly the same security and
     integrity module permission checks. Especially for the integrity
     modules this api is a win because right now they convert the uapi
     posix acl struct passed to them via a void pointer into the vfs
     struct posix_acl format to perform permission checking on the mode.

     There's a new dedicated security hook for setting posix acls which
     passes the vfs struct posix_acl not a void pointer. Basing checking
     on the posix acl stored in the uapi format is really unreliable.
     The vfs currently hacks around directly in the uapi struct storing
     values that frankly the security and integrity modules can't
     correctly interpret as evidenced by bugs we reported and fixed in
     this area. It's not necessarily even their fault it's just that the
     format we provide to them is sub optimal.

   - Some filesystems like 9p and cifs need access to the dentry in
     order to get and set posix acls which is why they either only
     partially or not even at all implement get and set inode
     operations. For example, cifs allows setxattr() and getxattr()
     operations but doesn't allow permission checking based on posix
     acls because it can't implement a get acl inode operation.

     Thus, this patch series updates the set acl inode operation to take
     a dentry instead of an inode argument. However, for the get acl
     inode operation we can't do this as the old get acl method is
     called in e.g., generic_permission() and inode_permission(). These
     helpers in turn are called in various filesystem's permission inode
     operation. So passing a dentry argument to the old get acl inode
     operation would amount to passing a dentry to the permission inode
     operation which we shouldn't and probably can't do.

     So instead of extending the existing inode operation Christoph
     suggested to add a new one. He also requested to ensure that the
     get and set acl inode operation taking a dentry are consistently
     named. So for this version the old get acl operation is renamed to
     -&gt;get_inode_acl() and a new -&gt;get_acl() inode operation taking a
     dentry is added. With this we can give both 9p and cifs get and set
     acl inode operations and in turn remove their complex custom posix
     xattr handlers.

     In the future I hope to get rid of the inode method duplication but
     it isn't like we have never had this situation. Readdir is just one
     example. And frankly, the overall gain in type safety and the more
     pleasant api wise are simply too big of a benefit to not accept
     this duplication for a while.

   - We've done a full audit of every codepaths using variant of the
     current generic xattr api to get and set posix acls and
     surprisingly it isn't that many places. There's of course always a
     chance that we might have missed some and if so I'm sure we'll find
     them soon enough.

     The crucial codepaths to be converted are obviously stacking
     filesystems such as ecryptfs and overlayfs.

     For a list of all callers currently using generic xattr api helpers
     see [2] including comments whether they support posix acls or not.

   - The old vfs generic posix acl infrastructure doesn't obey the
     create and replace semantics promised on the setxattr(2) manpage.
     This patch series doesn't address this. It really is something we
     should revisit later though.

  The patches are roughly organized as follows:

   (1) Change existing set acl inode operation to take a dentry
       argument (Intended to be a non-functional change)

   (2) Rename existing get acl method (Intended to be a non-functional
       change)

   (3) Implement get and set acl inode operations for filesystems that
       couldn't implement one before because of the missing dentry.
       That's mostly 9p and cifs (Intended to be a non-functional
       change)

   (4) Build posix acl api, i.e., add vfs_get_acl(), vfs_remove_acl(),
       and vfs_set_acl() including security and integrity hooks
       (Intended to be a non-functional change)

   (5) Implement get and set acl inode operations for stacking
       filesystems (Intended to be a non-functional change)

   (6) Switch posix acl handling in stacking filesystems to new posix
       acl api now that all filesystems it can stack upon support it.

   (7) Switch vfs to new posix acl api (semantical change)

   (8) Remove all now unused helpers

   (9) Additional regression fixes reported after we merged this into
       linux-next

  encouragement and input from Christoph"

<title>f2fs: reset wait_ms to default if any of the victims have been selected</title>

In non-foreground gc mode, if no victim is selected, the gc process
will wait for no_gc_sleep_time before waking up again. In this
subsequent time, even though a victim will be selected, the gc process

In non-foreground gc mode, if no victim is selected, the gc process
will wait for no_gc_sleep_time before waking up again. In this
subsequent time, even though a victim will be selected, the gc process
still waits for no_gc_sleep_time before waking up. The configuration
of wait_ms is not reasonable.

<title>f2fs: don't call f2fs_issue_discard_timeout() when discard_cmd_cnt is 0 in f2fs_put_super()</title>

No need to call f2fs_issue_discard_timeout() in f2fs_put_super,
when no discard command requires issue. Since the caller of
f2fs_issue_discard_timeout() usually judges the number of discard
commands before using it. Let's move this logic to
f2fs_issue_discard_timeout().

By the way, use f2fs_realtime_discard_enable to simplify the code.

Just like other data we count uses the number of bytes as the basic unit,
but discard uses the number of cmds as the statistical unit. In fact the
discard command contains the number of blocks, so let's change to the
number of bytes as the base unit.

<title>f2fs: add block_age-based extent cache</title>

This patch introduces a runtime hot/cold data separation method
for f2fs, in order to improve the accuracy for data temperature
classification, reduce the garbage collection overhead after
long-term data updates.

Enhanced hot/cold data separation can record data block update
frequency as "age" of the extent per inode, and take use of the age
info to indicate better temperature type for data block allocation:
 - It records total data blocks allocated since mount;
 - When file extent has been updated, it calculate the count of data
blocks allocated since last update as the age of the extent;
 - Before the data block allocated, it searches for the age info and
chooses the suitable segment for allocation.

Test and result:
 - Prepare: create about 30000 files
  * 3% for cold files (with cold file extension like .apk, from 3M to 10M)
  * 50% for warm files (with random file extension like .FcDxq, from 1K
to 4M)
  * 47% for hot files (with hot file extension like .db, from 1K to 256K)
 - create(5%)/random update(90%)/delete(5%) the files
  * total write amount is about 70G
  * fsync will be called for .db files, and buffered write will be used
for other files

The storage of test device is large enough(128G) so that it will not
switch to SSR mode during the test.

Benefit: dirty segment count increment reduce about 14%
 - before: Dirty +21110
 - after:  Dirty +18286
