Linus Torvalds 4fc29c1aa3 The major change in this version is mitigating cpu overheads on write paths by
replacing redundant inode page updates with mark_inode_dirty calls. And we tried
 to reduce lock contentions as well to improve filesystem scalability.
 Other feature is setting F2FS automatically when detecting host-managed SMR.
 
 = Enhancement =
  - ioctl to move a range of data between files
  - inject orphan inode errors
  - avoid flush commands congestion
  - support lazytime
 
 = Bug fixes =
  - return proper results for some dentry operations
  - fix deadlock in add_link failure
  - disable extent_cache for fcollapse/finsert
