Merge tag 'f2fs-for-3.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jaegeuk/f2fs
Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
 "This patch-set introduces a couple of new features such as large
  sector size, FITRIM, and atomic/volatile writes.

  Several patches enhance power-off recovery and checkpoint routines.

  The fsck.f2fs starts to support fixing corrupted partitions with
  recovery hints provided by this patch-set.

  Summary:
   - retain some recovery information for fsck.f2fs
   - enhance checkpoint speed
   - enhance flush command management
   - bug fix for lseek
   - tune in-place-update policies
   - enhance roll-forward speed
   - revisit all the roll-forward and fsync rules
   - support larget sector size
   - support FITRIM
   - support atomic and volatile writes

  And several clean-ups and bug fixes are included"

  ipu_policy                   This parameter controls the policy of in-place
                               updates in f2fs. There are five policies:
-                               0: F2FS_IPU_FORCE, 1: F2FS_IPU_SSR,
-                               2: F2FS_IPU_UTIL,  3: F2FS_IPU_SSR_UTIL,
-                               4: F2FS_IPU_DISABLE.
+                               0x01: F2FS_IPU_FORCE, 0x02: F2FS_IPU_SSR,
+                               0x04: F2FS_IPU_UTIL,  0x08: F2FS_IPU_SSR_UTIL,
+                               0x10: F2FS_IPU_FSYNC.
 
  min_ipu_util                 This parameter controls the threshold to trigger
                               in-place-updates. The number indicates percentage
                               of the filesystem utilization, and used by
                               F2FS_IPU_UTIL and F2FS_IPU_SSR_UTIL policies.
 
+ min_fsync_blocks             This parameter controls the threshold to trigger
+                              in-place-updates when F2FS_IPU_FSYNC mode is set.
+			      The number indicates the number of dirty pages
+			      when fsync needs to flush on its call path. If
+			      the number is less than this value, it triggers
+			      in-place-updates.
+
  max_victim_search	      This parameter controls the number of trials to
 			      find a victim segment when conducting SSR and
 			      cleaning operations. The default value is 4096
