Merge tag 'for-f2fs-3.14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jaegeuk/f2fs
Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
"In this round, a couple of sysfs entries were introduced to tune the
f2fs at runtime.
In addition, f2fs starts to support inline_data and improves the
read/write performance in some workloads by refactoring bio-related
flows.
This patch-set includes the following major enhancement patches.
- support inline_data
- refactor bio operations such as merge operations and rw type
assignment
- enhance the direct IO path
- enhance bio operations
- truncate a node page when it becomes obsolete
- add sysfs entries: small_discards, max_victim_search, and
in-place-update
- add a sysfs entry to control max_victim_search
The other bug fixes are as follows.
- fix a bug in truncate_partial_nodes
- avoid warnings during sparse and build process
- fix error handling flows
- fix potential bit overflows
And, there are a bunch of cleanups"
