Merge tag 'for-f2fs-3.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jaegeuk/f2fs
Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
"This patch-set includes the following major enhancement patches.
- introduce large directory support
- introduce f2fs_issue_flush to merge redundant flush commands
- merge write IOs as much as possible aligned to the segment
- add sysfs entries to tune the f2fs configuration
- use radix_tree for the free_nid_list to reduce in-memory operations
- remove costly bit operations in f2fs_find_entry
- enhance the readahead flow for CP/NAT/SIT/SSA blocks
The other bug fixes are as follows:
- recover xattr node blocks correctly after sudden-power-cut
- fix to calculate the maximum number of node ids
- enhance to handle many error cases
And, there are a bunch of cleanups"
