Merge tag 'for-f2fs-4.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jaegeuk/f2fs
Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
 "This series adds two ioctls to control cached data and fragmented
  files.  Most of the rest fixes missing error cases and bugs that we
  have not covered so far.  Summary:

  Enhancements:
   - support an ioctl to execute online file defragmentation
   - support an ioctl to flush cached data
   - speed up shrinking of extent_cache entries
   - handle broken superblock
   - refector dirty inode management infra
   - revisit f2fs_map_blocks to handle more cases
   - reduce global lock coverage
   - add detecting user's idle time

  Major bug fixes:
   - fix data race condition on cached nat entries
   - fix error cases of volatile and atomic writes"
