"In this cycle, we've applied relatively small number of patches which
fix subtle corner cases mainly, while introducing a new mount option
to be able to fragment the disk intentionally for performance tests.
Enhancements:
- add a mount option to fragmente on-disk layout to understand the
performance
- support direct IO for multi-partitions
- add a fault injection of dquot_initialize
Bug fixes:
- address some lockdep complaints
- fix a deadlock issue with quota
- fix a memory tuning condition
- fix compression condition to improve the ratio
- fix disabling compression on the non-empty compressed file
- invalidate cached pages before IPU/DIO writes
And, we've added some minor clean-ups as usual"

Pull erofs updates from Gao Xiang:
"There are some new features available for this cycle. Firstly, EROFS
LZMA algorithm support, specifically called MicroLZMA, is available as
an option for embedded devices, LiveCDs and/or as the secondary
auxiliary compression algorithm besides the primary algorithm in one
file.
In order to better support the LZMA fixed-sized output compression,
especially for 4KiB pcluster size (which has lowest memory pressure
thus useful for memory-sensitive scenarios), Lasse introduced a new
LZMA header/container format called MicroLZMA to minimize the original
LZMA1 header (for example, we don't need to waste 4-byte dictionary
size and another 8-byte uncompressed size, which can be calculated by
fs directly, for each pcluster) and enable EROFS fixed-sized output
compression.
Note that MicroLZMA can also be later used by other things in addition
to EROFS too where wasting minimal amount of space for headers is
important and it can be only compiled by enabling XZ_DEC_MICROLZMA.
MicroLZMA has been supported by the latest upstream XZ embedded [1] &
XZ utils [2], apply the latest related XZ embedded upstream patches by
the XZ author Lasse here.
Secondly, multiple device is also supported in this cycle, which is
designed for multi-layer container images. By working together with
inter-layer data deduplication and compression, we can achieve the
next high-performance container image solution. Our team will announce
the new Nydus container image service [3] implementation with new RAFS
v6 (EROFS-compatible) format in Open Source Summit 2021 China [4]
soon.
Besides, the secondary compression head support and readmore
decompression strategy are also included in this cycle. There are also
some minor bugfixes and cleanups, as always.

- support multiple devices for multi-layer container images;

Pull memory folios from Matthew Wilcox:
"Add memory folios, a new type to represent either order-0 pages or the
head page of a compound page. This should be enough infrastructure to
support filesystems converting from pages to folios.
The point of all this churn is to allow filesystems and the page cache
to manage memory in larger chunks than PAGE_SIZE. The original plan
was to use compound pages like THP does, but I ran into problems with
some functions expecting only a head page while others expect the
precise page containing a particular byte.
The folio type allows a function to declare that it's expecting only a
head page. Almost incidentally, this allows us to remove various calls
to VM_BUG_ON(PageTail(page)) and compound_head().
This converts just parts of the core MM and the page cache. For 5.17,
we intend to convert various filesystems (XFS and AFS are ready; other
filesystems may make it) and also convert more of the MM and page
cache to folios. For 5.18, multi-page folios should be ready.
The multi-page folios offer some improvement to some workloads. The
80% win is real, but appears to be an artificial benchmark (postgres
startup, which isn't a serious workload). Real workloads (eg building
the kernel, running postgres in a steady state, etc) seem to benefit
between 0-10%. I haven't heard of any performance losses as a result
of this series. Nobody has done any serious performance tuning; I
imagine that tweaking the readahead algorithm could provide some more
interesting wins. There are also other places where we could choose to
create large folios and currently do not, such as writes that are
larger than PAGE_SIZE.

Added two options into "mode=" mount option to make it possible for
developers to simulate filesystem fragmentation/after-GC situation
itself. The developers use these modes to understand filesystem
fragmentation/after-GC condition well, and eventually get some
insights to handle them better.
"fragment:segment": f2fs allocates a new segment in ramdom position.
With this, we can simulate the after-GC condition.
"fragment:block" : We can scatter block allocation with
"max_fragment_chunk" and "max_fragment_hole" sysfs
nodes. f2fs will allocate 1..<max_fragment_chunk>
blocks in a chunk and make a hole in the length of
1..<max_fragment_hole> by turns in a newly allocated
free segment. Plus, this mode implicitly enables
"fragment:segment" option for more randomness.

In order to support multi-layer container images, add multiple
device feature to EROFS. Two ways are available to use for now:
- Devices can be mapped into 32-bit global block address space;
- Device ID can be specified with the chunk indexes format.
Note that it assumes no extent would cross device boundary and mkfs
should take care of it seriously.
In the future, a dedicated device manager could be introduced then
thus extra devices can be automatically scanned by UUID as well.

fscrypt currently requires a 512-bit master key when AES-256-XTS is
used, since AES-256-XTS keys are 512-bit and fscrypt requires that the
master key be at least as long any key that will be derived from it.
However, this is overly strict because AES-256-XTS doesn't actually have
a 512-bit security strength, but rather 256-bit. The fact that XTS
takes twice the expected key size is a quirk of the XTS mode. It is
sufficient to use 256 bits of entropy for AES-256-XTS, provided that it
is first properly expanded into a 512-bit key, which HKDF-SHA512 does.
Therefore, relax the check of the master key size to use the security
strength of the derived key rather than the size of the derived key
(except for v1 encryption policies, which don't use HKDF).
Besides making things more flexible for userspace, this is needed in
order for the use of a KDF which only takes a 256-bit key to be
introduced into the fscrypt key hierarchy. This will happen with
hardware-wrapped keys support, as all known hardware which supports that
feature uses an SP800-108 KDF using AES-256-CMAC, so the wrapped keys
are wrapped 256-bit AES keys. Moreover, there is interest in fscrypt
supporting the same type of AES-256-CMAC based KDF in software as an
alternative to HKDF-SHA512. There is no security problem with such
features, so fix the key length check to work properly with them.

Currently the fscrypt inline encryption support is documented in the
"Implementation details" section, and it doesn't go into much detail.
It's really more than just an "implementation detail" though, as there
is a user-facing mount option. Also, hardware-wrapped key support (an
upcoming feature) will depend on inline encryption and will affect the
on-disk format; by definition that's not just an implementation detail.
Therefore, move this documentation into its own section and expand it.
