In this round, we've introduced native swap file support which can exploit DIO,
enhanced existing checkpoint=disable feature with additional mount option to
tune the triggering condition, and allowed user to preallocate physical blocks
in a pinned file which will be useful to avoid f2fs fragmentation in append-only
workloads. In addition, we've fixed subtle quota corruption issue.
Enhancement:
- add swap file support which uses DIO
- allocate blocks for pinned file
- allow SSR and mount option to enhance checkpoint=disable
- enhance IPU IOs
- add more sanity checks such as memory boundary access
Bug fix:
- quota corruption in very corner case of error-injected SPO case
- fix root_reserved on remount and some wrong counts
- add missing fsck flag
Some patches were also introduced to clean up ambiguous i_flags and debugging
messages codes.
