Merge tag 'f2fs-for-5.12-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jaegeuk/f2fs

Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
 "We've added two major features: 1) compression level and 2)
  checkpoint_merge, in this round.

  Compression level expands 'compress_algorithm' mount option to accept
  parameter as format of <algorithm>:<level>, by this way, it gives a
  way to allow user to do more specified config on lz4 and zstd
  compression level, then f2fs compression can provide higher compress
  ratio.

  checkpoint_merge creates a kernel daemon and makes it to merge
  concurrent checkpoint requests as much as possible to eliminate
  redundant checkpoint issues. Plus, we can eliminate the sluggish issue
  caused by slow checkpoint operation when the checkpoint is done in a
  process context in a cgroup having low i/o budget and cpu shares.

  Enhancements:
   - add compress level for lz4 and zstd in mount option
   - checkpoint_merge mount option
   - deprecate f2fs_trace_io

  Bug fixes:
   - flush data when enabling checkpoint back
   - handle corner cases of mount options
   - missing ACL update and lock for I_LINKABLE flag
   - attach FIEMAP_EXTENT_MERGED in f2fs_fiemap
   - fix potential deadlock in compression flow
   - fix wrong submit_io condition

  As usual, we've cleaned up many code flows and fixed minor bugs"

checkpoint_merge When checkpoint is enabled, this can be used to create a kernel

we can eliminate the sluggish issue caused by slow checkpoint
operation when the checkpoint is done in a process context in
a cgroup having low i/o budget and cpu shares. To make this
do better, we set the default i/o priority of the kernel daemon
to "3", to give one higher priority than other kernel threads.
This is the same way to give a I/O priority to the jbd2
journaling thread of ext4 filesystem.
