Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core:

   - Add dedicated kmem_cache for typical/small skb->head, avoid having
     to access struct page at kfree time, and improve memory use.

   - Introduce sysctl to set default RPS configuration for new netdevs.

   - Define Netlink protocol specification format which can be used to
     describe messages used by each family and auto-generate parsers.
     Add tools for generating kernel data structures and uAPI headers.

   - Expose all net/core sysctls inside netns.

   - Remove 4s sleep in netpoll if carrier is instantly detected on
     boot.

   - Add configurable limit of MDB entries per port, and port-vlan.

   - Continue populating drop reasons throughout the stack.

   - Retire a handful of legacy Qdiscs and classifiers.

  Protocols:

   - Support IPv4 big TCP (TSO frames larger than 64kB).

   - Add IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE socket option, to control local port range
     on socket by socket basis.

   - Track and report in procfs number of MPTCP sockets used.

   - Support mixing IPv4 and IPv6 flows in the in-kernel MPTCP path
     manager.

   - IPv6: don't check net.ipv6.route.max_size and rely on garbage
     collection to free memory (similarly to IPv4).

   - Support Penultimate Segment Pop (PSP) flavor in SRv6 (RFC8986).

   - ICMP: add per-rate limit counters.

   - Add support for user scanning requests in ieee802154.

   - Remove static WEP support.

   - Support minimal Wi-Fi 7 Extremely High Throughput (EHT) rate
     reporting.

   - WiFi 7 EHT channel puncturing support (client & AP).

  BPF:

   - Add a rbtree data structure following the "next-gen data structure"
     precedent set by recently added linked list, that is, by using
     kfunc + kptr instead of adding a new BPF map type.

   - Expose XDP hints via kfuncs with initial support for RX hash and
     timestamp metadata.

   - Add BPF_F_NO_TUNNEL_KEY extension to bpf_skb_set_tunnel_key to
     better support decap on GRE tunnel devices not operating in collect
     metadata.

   - Improve x86 JIT's codegen for PROBE_MEM runtime error checks.

   - Remove the need for trace_printk_lock for bpf_trace_printk and
     bpf_trace_vprintk helpers.

   - Extend libbpf's bpf_tracing.h support for tracing arguments of
     kprobes/uprobes and syscall as a special case.

   - Significantly reduce the search time for module symbols by
     livepatch and BPF.

   - Enable cpumasks to be used as kptrs, which is useful for tracing
     programs tracking which tasks end up running on which CPUs in
     different time intervals.

   - Add support for BPF trampoline on s390x and riscv64.

   - Add capability to export the XDP features supported by the NIC.

   - Add __bpf_kfunc tag for marking kernel functions as kfuncs.

   - Add cgroup.memory=nobpf kernel parameter option to disable BPF
     memory accounting for container environments.

  Netfilter:

   - Remove the CLUSTERIP target. It has been marked as obsolete for
     years, and we still have WARN splats wrt races of the out-of-band
     /proc interface installed by this target.

   - Add 'destroy' commands to nf_tables. They are identical to the
     existing 'delete' commands, but do not return an error if the
     referenced object (set, chain, rule...) did not exist.

  Driver API:

   - Improve cpumask_local_spread() locality to help NICs set the right
     IRQ affinity on AMD platforms.

   - Separate C22 and C45 MDIO bus transactions more clearly.

   - Introduce new DCB table to control DSCP rewrite on egress.

   - Support configuration of Physical Layer Collision Avoidance (PLCA)
     Reconciliation Sublayer (RS) (802.3cg-2019). Modern version of
     shared medium Ethernet.

   - Support for MAC Merge layer (IEEE 802.3-2018 clause 99). Allowing
     preemption of low priority frames by high priority frames.

   - Add support for controlling MACSec offload using netlink SET.

   - Rework devlink instance refcounts to allow registration and
     de-registration under the instance lock. Split the code into
     multiple files, drop some of the unnecessarily granular locks and
     factor out common parts of netlink operation handling.

   - Add TX frame aggregation parameters (for USB drivers).

   - Add a new attr TCA_EXT_WARN_MSG to report TC (offload) warning
     messages with notifications for debug.

   - Allow offloading of UDP NEW connections via act_ct.

   - Add support for per action HW stats in TC.

   - Support hardware miss to TC action (continue processing in SW from
     a specific point in the action chain).

   - Warn if old Wireless Extension user space interface is used with
     modern cfg80211/mac80211 drivers. Do not support Wireless
     Extensions for Wi-Fi 7 devices at all. Everyone should switch to
     using nl80211 interface instead.

   - Improve the CAN bit timing configuration. Use extack to return
     error messages directly to user space, update the SJW handling,
     including the definition of a new default value that will benefit
     CAN-FD controllers, by increasing their oscillator tolerance.

+==========================================
+WHAT IS Flash-Friendly File System (F2FS)?
+==========================================
+
+NAND flash memory-based storage devices, such as SSD, eMMC, and SD cards, have
+been equipped on a variety systems ranging from mobile to server systems. Since
+they are known to have different characteristics from the conventional rotating
+disks, a file system, an upper layer to the storage device, should adapt to the
+changes from the sketch in the design level.
+
+F2FS is a file system exploiting NAND flash memory-based storage devices, which
+is based on Log-structured File System (LFS). The design has been focused on
+addressing the fundamental issues in LFS, which are snowball effect of wandering
+tree and high cleaning overhead.
+
+Since a NAND flash memory-based storage device shows different characteristic
+according to its internal geometry or flash memory management scheme, namely FTL,
+F2FS and its tools support various parameters not only for configuring on-disk
+layout, but also for selecting allocation and cleaning algorithms.
+
+The following git tree provides the file system formatting tool (mkfs.f2fs),
+a consistency checking tool (fsck.f2fs), and a debugging tool (dump.f2fs).
+

+
+Background and Design issues
+============================
+
+Log-structured File System (LFS)
+--------------------------------
+"A log-structured file system writes all modifications to disk sequentially in
+a log-like structure, thereby speeding up  both file writing and crash recovery.
+The log is the only structure on disk; it contains indexing information so that
+files can be read back from the log efficiently. In order to maintain large free
+areas on disk for fast writing, we divide  the log into segments and use a
+segment cleaner to compress the live information from heavily fragmented
+segments." from Rosenblum, M. and Ousterhout, J. K., 1992, "The design and
+implementation of a log-structured file system", ACM Trans. Computer Systems
+10, 1, 26–52.
+
+Wandering Tree Problem
+----------------------
+In LFS, when a file data is updated and written to the end of log, its direct
+pointer block is updated due to the changed location. Then the indirect pointer
+block is also updated due to the direct pointer block update. In this manner,
+the upper index structures such as inode, inode map, and checkpoint block are
+also updated recursively. This problem is called as wandering tree problem [1],
+and in order to enhance the performance, it should eliminate or relax the update
+propagation as much as possible.
+
+[1] Bityutskiy, A. 2005. JFFS3 design issues. http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/
+
+Cleaning Overhead
+-----------------
+Since LFS is based on out-of-place writes, it produces so many obsolete blocks
+scattered across the whole storage. In order to serve new empty log space, it
+needs to reclaim these obsolete blocks seamlessly to users. This job is called
+as a cleaning process.
+
+The process consists of three operations as follows.
+
+1. A victim segment is selected through referencing segment usage table.
+2. It loads parent index structures of all the data in the victim identified by
+   segment summary blocks.
+3. It checks the cross-reference between the data and its parent index structure.
+4. It moves valid data selectively.
+
+This cleaning job may cause unexpected long delays, so the most important goal
+is to hide the latencies to users. And also definitely, it should reduce the
+amount of valid data to be moved, and move them quickly as well.
+
+Key Features
+============
+
+Flash Awareness
+---------------
+- Enlarge the random write area for better performance, but provide the high
+  spatial locality
+- Align FS data structures to the operational units in FTL as best efforts
+
+Wandering Tree Problem
+----------------------
+- Use a term, “node”, that represents inodes as well as various pointer blocks
+- Introduce Node Address Table (NAT) containing the locations of all the “node”
+  blocks; this will cut off the update propagation.
+
+Cleaning Overhead
+-----------------
+- Support a background cleaning process
+- Support greedy and cost-benefit algorithms for victim selection policies
+- Support multi-head logs for static/dynamic hot and cold data separation
+- Introduce adaptive logging for efficient block allocation
+
+Mount Options
+=============
+
+
+======================== ============================================================
+background_gc=%s	 Turn on/off cleaning operations, namely garbage
+			 collection, triggered in background when I/O subsystem is
+			 idle. If background_gc=on, it will turn on the garbage
+			 collection and if background_gc=off, garbage collection
+			 will be turned off. If background_gc=sync, it will turn
+			 on synchronous garbage collection running in background.
+			 Default value for this option is on. So garbage
+			 collection is on by default.
+gc_merge		 When background_gc is on, this option can be enabled to
+			 let background GC thread to handle foreground GC requests,
+			 it can eliminate the sluggish issue caused by slow foreground
+			 GC operation when GC is triggered from a process with limited
+			 I/O and CPU resources.
+nogc_merge		 Disable GC merge feature.
+disable_roll_forward	 Disable the roll-forward recovery routine
+norecovery		 Disable the roll-forward recovery routine, mounted read-
+			 only (i.e., -o ro,disable_roll_forward)
+discard/nodiscard	 Enable/disable real-time discard in f2fs, if discard is
+			 enabled, f2fs will issue discard/TRIM commands when a
+			 segment is cleaned.
+no_heap			 Disable heap-style segment allocation which finds free
+			 segments for data from the beginning of main area, while
+			 for node from the end of main area.
+nouser_xattr		 Disable Extended User Attributes. Note: xattr is enabled
+			 by default if CONFIG_F2FS_FS_XATTR is selected.
+noacl			 Disable POSIX Access Control List. Note: acl is enabled
+			 by default if CONFIG_F2FS_FS_POSIX_ACL is selected.
+active_logs=%u		 Support configuring the number of active logs. In the
+			 current design, f2fs supports only 2, 4, and 6 logs.
+			 Default number is 6.
+disable_ext_identify	 Disable the extension list configured by mkfs, so f2fs
+			 is not aware of cold files such as media files.
+inline_xattr		 Enable the inline xattrs feature.
+noinline_xattr		 Disable the inline xattrs feature.
+inline_xattr_size=%u	 Support configuring inline xattr size, it depends on
+			 flexible inline xattr feature.
+inline_data		 Enable the inline data feature: Newly created small (<~3.4k)
+			 files can be written into inode block.
+inline_dentry		 Enable the inline dir feature: data in newly created
+			 directory entries can be written into inode block. The
+			 space of inode block which is used to store inline
+			 dentries is limited to ~3.4k.
+noinline_dentry		 Disable the inline dentry feature.
+flush_merge		 Merge concurrent cache_flush commands as much as possible
+			 to eliminate redundant command issues. If the underlying
+			 device handles the cache_flush command relatively slowly,
+			 recommend to enable this option.
+nobarrier		 This option can be used if underlying storage guarantees
+			 its cached data should be written to the novolatile area.
+			 If this option is set, no cache_flush commands are issued
+			 but f2fs still guarantees the write ordering of all the
+			 data writes.
+barrier		 If this option is set, cache_flush commands are allowed to be
+			 issued.
+fastboot		 This option is used when a system wants to reduce mount
+			 time as much as possible, even though normal performance
+			 can be sacrificed.
+extent_cache		 Enable an extent cache based on rb-tree, it can cache
+			 as many as extent which map between contiguous logical
+			 address and physical address per inode, resulting in
+			 increasing the cache hit ratio. Set by default.
+noextent_cache		 Disable an extent cache based on rb-tree explicitly, see
+			 the above extent_cache mount option.
+noinline_data		 Disable the inline data feature, inline data feature is
+			 enabled by default.
+data_flush		 Enable data flushing before checkpoint in order to
+			 persist data of regular and symlink.
+reserve_root=%d		 Support configuring reserved space which is used for
+			 allocation from a privileged user with specified uid or
+			 gid, unit: 4KB, the default limit is 0.2% of user blocks.
+resuid=%d		 The user ID which may use the reserved blocks.
+resgid=%d		 The group ID which may use the reserved blocks.
+fault_injection=%d	 Enable fault injection in all supported types with
+			 specified injection rate.
+fault_type=%d		 Support configuring fault injection type, should be
+			 enabled with fault_injection option, fault type value
+			 is shown below, it supports single or combined type.

+			 ===================	  ===========
+mode=%s			 Control block allocation mode which supports "adaptive"
+			 and "lfs". In "lfs" mode, there should be no random
+			 writes towards main area.
+			 "fragment:segment" and "fragment:block" are newly added here.
+			 These are developer options for experiments 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.
+			 In "fragment:segment", f2fs allocates a new segment in ramdom
+			 position. With this, we can simulate the after-GC condition.
+			 In "fragment:block", we can scatter block allocation with
+			 "max_fragment_chunk" and "max_fragment_hole" sysfs nodes.
+			 We added some randomness to both chunk and hole size to make
+			 it close to realistic IO pattern. So, in this mode, 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. With this, the newly
+			 allocated blocks will be scattered throughout the whole partition.
+			 Note that "fragment:block" implicitly enables "fragment:segment"
+			 option for more randomness.
+			 Please, use these options for your experiments and we strongly
+			 recommend to re-format the filesystem after using these options.
+io_bits=%u		 Set the bit size of write IO requests. It should be set
+			 with "mode=lfs".
+usrquota		 Enable plain user disk quota accounting.
+grpquota		 Enable plain group disk quota accounting.
+prjquota		 Enable plain project quota accounting.
+usrjquota=<file>	 Appoint specified file and type during mount, so that quota
+grpjquota=<file>	 information can be properly updated during recovery flow,
+prjjquota=<file>	 <quota file>: must be in root directory;
+jqfmt=<quota type>	 <quota type>: [vfsold,vfsv0,vfsv1].
+offusrjquota		 Turn off user journalled quota.
+offgrpjquota		 Turn off group journalled quota.
+offprjjquota		 Turn off project journalled quota.
+quota			 Enable plain user disk quota accounting.
+noquota			 Disable all plain disk quota option.
+alloc_mode=%s		 Adjust block allocation policy, which supports "reuse"
+			 and "default".
+fsync_mode=%s		 Control the policy of fsync. Currently supports "posix",
+			 "strict", and "nobarrier". In "posix" mode, which is
+			 default, fsync will follow POSIX semantics and does a
+			 light operation to improve the filesystem performance.
+			 In "strict" mode, fsync will be heavy and behaves in line
+			 with xfs, ext4 and btrfs, where xfstest generic/342 will
+			 pass, but the performance will regress. "nobarrier" is
+			 based on "posix", but doesn't issue flush command for
+			 non-atomic files likewise "nobarrier" mount option.
+test_dummy_encryption
+test_dummy_encryption=%s
+			 Enable dummy encryption, which provides a fake fscrypt
+			 context. The fake fscrypt context is used by xfstests.
+			 The argument may be either "v1" or "v2", in order to
+			 select the corresponding fscrypt policy version.
+checkpoint=%s[:%u[%]]	 Set to "disable" to turn off checkpointing. Set to "enable"
+			 to reenable checkpointing. Is enabled by default. While
+			 disabled, any unmounting or unexpected shutdowns will cause
+			 the filesystem contents to appear as they did when the
+			 filesystem was mounted with that option.
+			 While mounting with checkpoint=disabled, the filesystem must
+			 run garbage collection to ensure that all available space can
+			 be used. If this takes too much time, the mount may return
+			 EAGAIN. You may optionally add a value to indicate how much
+			 of the disk you would be willing to temporarily give up to
+			 avoid additional garbage collection. This can be given as a
+			 number of blocks, or as a percent. For instance, mounting
+			 with checkpoint=disable:100% would always succeed, but it may
+			 hide up to all remaining free space. The actual space that
+			 would be unusable can be viewed at /sys/fs/f2fs/<disk>/unusable
+			 This space is reclaimed once checkpoint=enable.
+checkpoint_merge	 When checkpoint is enabled, this can be used to create a kernel
+			 daemon and make 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. 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.
+nocheckpoint_merge	 Disable checkpoint merge feature.
+compress_algorithm=%s	 Control compress algorithm, currently f2fs supports "lzo",
+			 "lz4", "zstd" and "lzo-rle" algorithm.
+compress_algorithm=%s:%d Control compress algorithm and its compress level, now, only
+			 "lz4" and "zstd" support compress level config.
+			 algorithm	level range
+			 lz4		3 - 16
+			 zstd		1 - 22
+compress_log_size=%u	 Support configuring compress cluster size. The size will
+			 be 4KB * (1 << %u). The default and minimum sizes are 16KB.
+compress_extension=%s	 Support adding specified extension, so that f2fs can enable
+			 compression on those corresponding files, e.g. if all files
+			 with '.ext' has high compression rate, we can set the '.ext'
+			 on compression extension list and enable compression on
+			 these file by default rather than to enable it via ioctl.
+			 For other files, we can still enable compression via ioctl.
+			 Note that, there is one reserved special extension '*', it
+			 can be set to enable compression for all files.
+nocompress_extension=%s	 Support adding specified extension, so that f2fs can disable
+			 compression on those corresponding files, just contrary to compression extension.
+			 If you know exactly which files cannot be compressed, you can use this.
+			 The same extension name can't appear in both compress and nocompress
+			 extension at the same time.
+			 If the compress extension specifies all files, the types specified by the
+			 nocompress extension will be treated as special cases and will not be compressed.
+			 Don't allow use '*' to specifie all file in nocompress extension.
+			 After add nocompress_extension, the priority should be:
+			 dir_flag < comp_extention,nocompress_extension < comp_file_flag,no_comp_file_flag.
+			 See more in compression sections.
+
+compress_chksum		 Support verifying chksum of raw data in compressed cluster.
+compress_mode=%s	 Control file compression mode. This supports "fs" and "user"
+			 modes. In "fs" mode (default), f2fs does automatic compression
+			 on the compression enabled files. In "user" mode, f2fs disables
+			 the automaic compression and gives the user discretion of
+			 choosing the target file and the timing. The user can do manual
+			 compression/decompression on the compression enabled files using
+			 ioctls.
+compress_cache		 Support to use address space of a filesystem managed inode to
+			 cache compressed block, in order to improve cache hit ratio of
+			 random read.
+inlinecrypt		 When possible, encrypt/decrypt the contents of encrypted
+			 files using the blk-crypto framework rather than
+			 filesystem-layer encryption. This allows the use of
+			 inline encryption hardware. The on-disk format is
+			 unaffected. For more details, see
+			 Documentation/block/inline-encryption.rst.
+atgc			 Enable age-threshold garbage collection, it provides high
+			 effectiveness and efficiency on background GC.
+discard_unit=%s		 Control discard unit, the argument can be "block", "segment"
+			 and "section", issued discard command's offset/size will be
+			 aligned to the unit, by default, "discard_unit=block" is set,
+			 so that small discard functionality is enabled.
+			 For blkzoned device, "discard_unit=section" will be set by
+			 default, it is helpful for large sized SMR or ZNS devices to
+			 reduce memory cost by getting rid of fs metadata supports small
+			 discard.
+memory=%s		 Control memory mode. This supports "normal" and "low" modes.
+			 "low" mode is introduced to support low memory devices.
+			 Because of the nature of low memory devices, in this mode, f2fs
+			 will try to save memory sometimes by sacrificing performance.
+			 "normal" mode is the default mode and same as before.
+age_extent_cache	 Enable an age extent cache based on rb-tree. It records
+			 data block update frequency of the extent per inode, in
+			 order to provide better temperature hints for data block
+			 allocation.

+Design
+======
+
+On-disk Layout
+--------------
+
+F2FS divides the whole volume into a number of segments, each of which is fixed
+to 2MB in size. A section is composed of consecutive segments, and a zone
+consists of a set of sections. By default, section and zone sizes are set to one
+segment size identically, but users can easily modify the sizes by mkfs.
+
+F2FS splits the entire volume into six areas, and all the areas except superblock
+consist of multiple segments as described below::
+
+                                            align with the zone size <-|
+                 |-> align with the segment size
+     _________________________________________________________________________

+
+- Superblock (SB)
+   It is located at the beginning of the partition, and there exist two copies
+   to avoid file system crash. It contains basic partition information and some
+   default parameters of f2fs.
+
+- Checkpoint (CP)
+   It contains file system information, bitmaps for valid NAT/SIT sets, orphan
+   inode lists, and summary entries of current active segments.
+
+- Segment Information Table (SIT)
+   It contains segment information such as valid block count and bitmap for the
+   validity of all the blocks.
+
+- Node Address Table (NAT)
+   It is composed of a block address table for all the node blocks stored in
+   Main area.
+
+- Segment Summary Area (SSA)
+   It contains summary entries which contains the owner information of all the
+   data and node blocks stored in Main area.
+
+- Main Area
+   It contains file and directory data including their indices.
+
+In order to avoid misalignment between file system and flash-based storage, F2FS
+aligns the start block address of CP with the segment size. Also, it aligns the
+start block address of Main area with the zone size by reserving some segments
+in SSA area.
+
+Reference the following survey for additional technical details.
+https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroups/Kernel/Projects/FlashCardSurvey
+
+File System Metadata Structure
+------------------------------
+
+F2FS adopts the checkpointing scheme to maintain file system consistency. At
+mount time, F2FS first tries to find the last valid checkpoint data by scanning
+CP area. In order to reduce the scanning time, F2FS uses only two copies of CP.
+One of them always indicates the last valid data, which is called as shadow copy
+mechanism. In addition to CP, NAT and SIT also adopt the shadow copy mechanism.
+
+For file system consistency, each CP points to which NAT and SIT copies are
+valid, as shown as below::
+
+  +--------+----------+---------+
+  |   CP   |    SIT   |   NAT   |
+  +--------+----------+---------+
+  .         .          .          .
+  .            .              .              .
+  .               .                 .                 .
+  +-------+-------+--------+--------+--------+--------+
+  | CP #0 | CP #1 | SIT #0 | SIT #1 | NAT #0 | NAT #1 |
+  +-------+-------+--------+--------+--------+--------+
+     |             ^                          ^
+     |             |                          |
+     `----------------------------------------'
+
+Index Structure
+---------------
+
+The key data structure to manage the data locations is a "node". Similar to
+traditional file structures, F2FS has three types of node: inode, direct node,
+indirect node. F2FS assigns 4KB to an inode block which contains 923 data block
+indices, two direct node pointers, two indirect node pointers, and one double
+indirect node pointer as described below. One direct node block contains 1018
+data blocks, and one indirect node block contains also 1018 node blocks. Thus,
+one inode block (i.e., a file) covers::
+
+  4KB * (923 + 2 * 1018 + 2 * 1018 * 1018 + 1018 * 1018 * 1018) := 3.94TB.
+
+   Inode block (4KB)
+     |- data (923)
+     |- direct node (2)
+     |          `- data (1018)
+     |- indirect node (2)
+     |            `- direct node (1018)
+     |                       `- data (1018)
+     `- double indirect node (1)
+                         `- indirect node (1018)
+			              `- direct node (1018)
+	                                         `- data (1018)
+
+Note that all the node blocks are mapped by NAT which means the location of
+each node is translated by the NAT table. In the consideration of the wandering
+tree problem, F2FS is able to cut off the propagation of node updates caused by
+leaf data writes.
+
+Directory Structure
+-------------------
+
+A directory entry occupies 11 bytes, which consists of the following attributes.
+
+- hash		hash value of the file name
+- ino		inode number
+- len		the length of file name
+- type		file type such as directory, symlink, etc
+
+A dentry block consists of 214 dentry slots and file names. Therein a bitmap is
+used to represent whether each dentry is valid or not. A dentry block occupies
+4KB with the following composition.
+
+::
+
+  Dentry Block(4 K) = bitmap (27 bytes) + reserved (3 bytes) +
+	              dentries(11 * 214 bytes) + file name (8 * 214 bytes)
+
+                         [Bucket]
+             +--------------------------------+
+             |dentry block 1 | dentry block 2 |
+             +--------------------------------+
+             .               .
+       .                             .
+  .       [Dentry Block Structure: 4KB]       .

+		 .               .
+            .                          .
+            +------+------+-----+------+
+            | hash | ino  | len | type |
+            +------+------+-----+------+
+            [Dentry Structure: 11 bytes]
+
+F2FS implements multi-level hash tables for directory structure. Each level has
+a hash table with dedicated number of hash buckets as shown below. Note that
+"A(2B)" means a bucket includes 2 data blocks.
+
+::
+
+    ----------------------
+    A : bucket
+    B : block
+    N : MAX_DIR_HASH_DEPTH
+    ----------------------
+
+    level #0   | A(2B)
+	    |
+    level #1   | A(2B) - A(2B)
+	    |
+    level #2   | A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B)
+	.     |   .       .       .       .
+    level #N/2 | A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - A(2B) - ... - A(2B)
+	.     |   .       .       .       .
+    level #N   | A(4B) - A(4B) - A(4B) - A(4B) - A(4B) - ... - A(4B)
+
+The number of blocks and buckets are determined by::
+
+                            ,- 2, if n < MAX_DIR_HASH_DEPTH / 2,
+  # of blocks in level #n = |
+                            `- 4, Otherwise
+
+                             ,- 2^(n + dir_level),
+			     |        if n + dir_level < MAX_DIR_HASH_DEPTH / 2,
+  # of buckets in level #n = |
+                             `- 2^((MAX_DIR_HASH_DEPTH / 2) - 1),
+			              Otherwise
+
+When F2FS finds a file name in a directory, at first a hash value of the file
+name is calculated. Then, F2FS scans the hash table in level #0 to find the
+dentry consisting of the file name and its inode number. If not found, F2FS
+scans the next hash table in level #1. In this way, F2FS scans hash tables in
+each levels incrementally from 1 to N. In each level F2FS needs to scan only
+one bucket determined by the following equation, which shows O(log(# of files))
+complexity::
+
+  bucket number to scan in level #n = (hash value) % (# of buckets in level #n)
+
+In the case of file creation, F2FS finds empty consecutive slots that cover the
+file name. F2FS searches the empty slots in the hash tables of whole levels from
+1 to N in the same way as the lookup operation.
+
+The following figure shows an example of two cases holding children::
+
+       --------------> Dir <--------------
+       |                                 |
+    child                             child
+
+    child - child                     [hole] - child
+
+    child - child - child             [hole] - [hole] - child
+
+   Case 1:                           Case 2:
+   Number of children = 6,           Number of children = 3,
+   File size = 7                     File size = 7
+
+Default Block Allocation
+------------------------
+
+At runtime, F2FS manages six active logs inside "Main" area: Hot/Warm/Cold node
+and Hot/Warm/Cold data.
+
+- Hot node	contains direct node blocks of directories.
+- Warm node	contains direct node blocks except hot node blocks.
+- Cold node	contains indirect node blocks
+- Hot data	contains dentry blocks
+- Warm data	contains data blocks except hot and cold data blocks
+- Cold data	contains multimedia data or migrated data blocks
+
+LFS has two schemes for free space management: threaded log and copy-and-compac-
+tion. The copy-and-compaction scheme which is known as cleaning, is well-suited
+for devices showing very good sequential write performance, since free segments
+are served all the time for writing new data. However, it suffers from cleaning
+overhead under high utilization. Contrarily, the threaded log scheme suffers
+from random writes, but no cleaning process is needed. F2FS adopts a hybrid
+scheme where the copy-and-compaction scheme is adopted by default, but the
+policy is dynamically changed to the threaded log scheme according to the file
+system status.
+
+In order to align F2FS with underlying flash-based storage, F2FS allocates a
+segment in a unit of section. F2FS expects that the section size would be the
+same as the unit size of garbage collection in FTL. Furthermore, with respect
+to the mapping granularity in FTL, F2FS allocates each section of the active
+logs from different zones as much as possible, since FTL can write the data in
+the active logs into one allocation unit according to its mapping granularity.
+
+Cleaning process
+----------------
+
+F2FS does cleaning both on demand and in the background. On-demand cleaning is
+triggered when there are not enough free segments to serve VFS calls. Background
+cleaner is operated by a kernel thread, and triggers the cleaning job when the
+system is idle.
+
+F2FS supports two victim selection policies: greedy and cost-benefit algorithms.
+In the greedy algorithm, F2FS selects a victim segment having the smallest number
+of valid blocks. In the cost-benefit algorithm, F2FS selects a victim segment
+according to the segment age and the number of valid blocks in order to address
+log block thrashing problem in the greedy algorithm. F2FS adopts the greedy
+algorithm for on-demand cleaner, while background cleaner adopts cost-benefit
+algorithm.
+
+In order to identify whether the data in the victim segment are valid or not,
+F2FS manages a bitmap. Each bit represents the validity of a block, and the
+bitmap is composed of a bit stream covering whole blocks in main area.
+
+Fallocate(2) Policy
+-------------------
+
+The default policy follows the below POSIX rule.
+
+Allocating disk space
+    The default operation (i.e., mode is zero) of fallocate() allocates
+    the disk space within the range specified by offset and len.  The
+    file size (as reported by stat(2)) will be changed if offset+len is
+    greater than the file size.  Any subregion within the range specified
+    by offset and len that did not contain data before the call will be
+    initialized to zero.  This default behavior closely resembles the
+    behavior of the posix_fallocate(3) library function, and is intended
+    as a method of optimally implementing that function.
+
+However, once F2FS receives ioctl(fd, F2FS_IOC_SET_PIN_FILE) in prior to
+fallocate(fd, DEFAULT_MODE), it allocates on-disk block addressess having
+zero or random data, which is useful to the below scenario where:
+
+ 1. create(fd)
+ 2. ioctl(fd, F2FS_IOC_SET_PIN_FILE)
+ 3. fallocate(fd, 0, 0, size)
+ 4. address = fibmap(fd, offset)
+ 5. open(blkdev)
+ 6. write(blkdev, address)
+

+- New term named cluster is defined as basic unit of compression, file can
+  be divided into multiple clusters logically. One cluster includes 4 << n
+  (n >= 0) logical pages, compression size is also cluster size, each of
+  cluster can be compressed or not.
+
+- In cluster metadata layout, one special block address is used to indicate
+  a cluster is a compressed one or normal one; for compressed cluster, following
+  metadata maps cluster to [1, 4 << n - 1] physical blocks, in where f2fs
+  stores data including compress header and compressed data.
+
+- In order to eliminate write amplification during overwrite, F2FS only
+  support compression on write-once file, data can be compressed only when
+  all logical blocks in cluster contain valid data and compress ratio of
+  cluster data is lower than specified threshold.
+
+- To enable compression on regular inode, there are four ways:
+
+  * chattr +c file
+  * chattr +c dir; touch dir/file
+  * mount w/ -o compress_extension=ext; touch file.ext
+  * mount w/ -o compress_extension=*; touch any_file
+
+- To disable compression on regular inode, there are two ways:
+
+  * chattr -c file
+  * mount w/ -o nocompress_extension=ext; touch file.ext
+
+- Priority in between FS_COMPR_FL, FS_NOCOMP_FS, extensions:
+
+  * compress_extension=so; nocompress_extension=zip; chattr +c dir; touch
+    dir/foo.so; touch dir/bar.zip; touch dir/baz.txt; then foo.so and baz.txt
+    should be compresse, bar.zip should be non-compressed. chattr +c dir/bar.zip
+    can enable compress on bar.zip.
+  * compress_extension=so; nocompress_extension=zip; chattr -c dir; touch
+    dir/foo.so; touch dir/bar.zip; touch dir/baz.txt; then foo.so should be
+    compresse, bar.zip and baz.txt should be non-compressed.
+    chattr+c dir/bar.zip; chattr+c dir/baz.txt; can enable compress on bar.zip
+    and baz.txt.
+
+- At this point, compression feature doesn't expose compressed space to user
+  directly in order to guarantee potential data updates later to the space.
+  Instead, the main goal is to reduce data writes to flash disk as much as
+  possible, resulting in extending disk life time as well as relaxing IO
+  congestion. Alternatively, we've added ioctl(F2FS_IOC_RELEASE_COMPRESS_BLOCKS)
+  interface to reclaim compressed space and show it to user after setting a
+  special flag to the inode. Once the compressed space is released, the flag
+  will block writing data to the file until either the compressed space is
+  reserved via ioctl(F2FS_IOC_RESERVE_COMPRESS_BLOCKS) or the file size is
+  truncated to zero.

+Compression mode
+--------------------------
+
+f2fs supports "fs" and "user" compression modes with "compression_mode" mount option.
+With this option, f2fs provides a choice to select the way how to compress the
+compression enabled files (refer to "Compression implementation" section for how to
+enable compression on a regular inode).
+
+1) compress_mode=fs
+This is the default option. f2fs does automatic compression in the writeback of the
+compression enabled files.
+
+2) compress_mode=user
+This disables the automatic compression and gives the user discretion of choosing the
+target file and the timing. The user can do manual compression/decompression on the
+compression enabled files using F2FS_IOC_DECOMPRESS_FILE and F2FS_IOC_COMPRESS_FILE
+ioctls like the below.
+
+To decompress a file,
+
+fd = open(filename, O_WRONLY, 0);
+ret = ioctl(fd, F2FS_IOC_DECOMPRESS_FILE);
+
+To compress a file,
+
+fd = open(filename, O_WRONLY, 0);
+ret = ioctl(fd, F2FS_IOC_COMPRESS_FILE);
+
+NVMe Zoned Namespace devices
+----------------------------
+
+- ZNS defines a per-zone capacity which can be equal or less than the
+  zone-size. Zone-capacity is the number of usable blocks in the zone.
+  F2FS checks if zone-capacity is less than zone-size, if it is, then any
+  segment which starts after the zone-capacity is marked as not-free in
+  the free segment bitmap at initial mount time. These segments are marked
+  as permanently used so they are not allocated for writes and
+  consequently are not needed to be garbage collected. In case the
+  zone-capacity is not aligned to default segment size(2MB), then a segment
+  can start before the zone-capacity and span across zone-capacity boundary.
+  Such spanning segments are also considered as usable segments. All blocks
+  past the zone-capacity are considered unusable in these segments.
