Assuming the disk layout as below,

disk0: 0            --- 0x00035abfff
disk1: 0x00035ac000 --- 0x00037abfff
disk2: 0x00037ac000 --- 0x00037ebfff

and we want to read data from offset=13568 having len=128 across the block
devices, we can illustrate the block addresses like below.

0 .. 0x00037ac000 ------------------- 0x00037ebfff, 0x00037ec000 -------
          |          ^            ^                                ^
          |   fofs   0            13568                            13568+128
          |       ------------------------------------------------------
          |   LBA    0x37e8aa9    0x37ebfa9                        0x37ec029
          --- map    0x3caa9      0x3ffa9

In this example, we should give the relative map of the target block device
ranging from 0x3caa9 to 0x3ffa9 where the length should be calculated by
0x37ebfff + 1 - 0x37ebfa9.

In the below equation, however, map-&gt;m_pblk was supposed to be the original
address instead of the one from the target block address.

 - map-&gt;m_len = min(map-&gt;m_len, dev-&gt;end_blk + 1 - map-&gt;m_pblk);

<title>f2fs: don't call iput() from f2fs_drop_inode()</title>

iput() calls the problematic routine, which does a -&gt;i_count inc/dec
cycle. Undoing it with iput() recurses into the problem.

Note f2fs should not be playing games with the refcount to begin with,
but that will be handled later. Right now solve the immediate
regression.

Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
 "This focuses on two primary updates for Android devices.

  First, it sets hash-based file name lookup as the default method to
  improve performance, while retaining an option to fall back to a
  linear lookup.

  Second, it resolves a persistent issue with the 'checkpoint=enable'
  feature.

  The update further boosts performance by prefetching node blocks,
  merging FUA writes more efficiently, and optimizing block allocation
  policies.

  The release is rounded out by a comprehensive set of bug fixes that
  address memory safety, data integrity, and potential system hangs,
  along with minor documentation and code clean-ups.

  Enhancements:
   - add mount option and sysfs entry to tune the lookup mode
   - dump more information and add a timeout when enabling/disabling
     checkpoints
   - readahead node blocks in F2FS_GET_BLOCK_PRECACHE mode
   - merge FUA command with the existing writes
   - allocate HOT_DATA for IPU writes
   - Use allocate_section_policy to control write priority in
     multi-devices setups
   - add reserved nodes for privileged users
   - Add bggc_io_aware to adjust the priority of BG_GC when issuing IO
   - show the list of donation files

  Bug fixes:
   - add missing dput() when printing the donation list
   - fix UAF issue in f2fs_merge_page_bio()
   - add sanity check on ei.len in __update_extent_tree_range()
   - fix infinite loop in __insert_extent_tree()
   - fix zero-sized extent for precache extents
   - fix to mitigate overhead of f2fs_zero_post_eof_page()
   - fix to avoid migrating empty section
   - fix to truncate first page in error path of f2fs_truncate()
   - fix to update map-&gt;m_next_extent correctly in f2fs_map_blocks()
   - fix wrong layout information on 16KB page
   - fix to do sanity check on node footer for non inode dnode
   - fix to avoid NULL pointer dereference in
     f2fs_check_quota_consistency()
   - fix to detect potential corrupted nid in free_nid_list
   - fix to clear unusable_cap for checkpoint=enable
   - fix to zero data after EOF for compressed file correctly
   - fix to avoid overflow while left shift operation
   - fix condition in __allow_reserved_blocks()"

Pull vfs inode updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains a series I originally wrote and that Eric brought over
  the finish line. It moves out the i_crypt_info and i_verity_info
  pointers out of 'struct inode' and into the fs-specific part of the
  inode.

  So now the few filesytems that actually make use of this pay the price
  in their own private inode storage instead of forcing it upon every
  user of struct inode.

  The pointer for the crypt and verity info is simply found by storing
  an offset to its address in struct fsverity_operations and struct
  fscrypt_operations. This shrinks struct inode by 16 bytes.

  I hope to move a lot more out of it in the future so that struct inode
  becomes really just about very core stuff that we need, much like
  struct dentry and struct file, instead of the dumping ground it has
  become over the years.

  On top of this are a various changes associated with the ongoing inode
  lifetime handling rework that multiple people are pushing forward:

   - Stop accessing inode-&gt;i_count directly in f2fs and gfs2. They
     simply should use the __iget() and iput() helpers

   - Make the i_state flags an enum

   - Rework the iput() logic

     Currently, if we are the last iput, and we have the I_DIRTY_TIME
     bit set, we will grab a reference on the inode again and then mark
     it dirty and then redo the put. This is to make sure we delay the
     time update for as long as possible

     We can rework this logic to simply dec i_count if it is not 1, and
     if it is do the time update while still holding the i_count
     reference

     Then we can replace the atomic_dec_and_lock with locking the
     -&gt;i_lock and doing atomic_dec_and_test, since we did the
     atomic_add_unless above

   - Add an icount_read() helper and convert everyone that accesses
     inode-&gt;i_count directly for this purpose to use the helper

   - Expand dump_inode() to dump more information about an inode helping
     in debugging

   - Add some might_sleep() annotations to iput() and associated

        the bounced page can be freed before

It can reproduce w/ below testcase:
Run below script in shell #1:
for ((i=1;i&gt;0;i++)) do xfs_io -f /mnt/f2fs/enc/file \
-c "pwrite 0 32k" -c "fdatasync"

for ((i=1;i&gt;0;i++)) do xfs_io -f /mnt/f2fs/enc/file \
-c "pwrite 0 32k" -c "fdatasync"

So, in f2fs_merge_page_bio(), let's avoid using fio-&gt;encrypted_page after
commit page into internal ipu cache.

<title>f2fs: readahead node blocks in F2FS_GET_BLOCK_PRECACHE mode</title>

<id>72bdca6231a35aaf3fc1f3ac174d5203621d9e7f</id>
<content type='text'>
In f2fs_precache_extents(), For large files, It requires reading many
node blocks. Instead of reading each node block with synchronous I/O,
this patch applies readahead so that node blocks can be fetched in
advance.

It reduces the overhead of repeated sync reads and improves efficiency
when precaching extents of large files.

I created a file with the same largest extent and executed the test.
For this experiment, I set the file's largest extent with an offset of 0
and a size of 1GB. I configured the remaining area with 100MB extents.

5GB test file:
dd if=/dev/urandom of=test1 bs=1m count=5120
cp test1 test2
fsync test1
dd if=test1 of=test2 bs=1m skip=1024 seek=1024 count=100 conv=notrunc
dd if=test1 of=test2 bs=1m skip=1224 seek=1224 count=100 conv=notrunc
...
dd if=test1 of=test2 bs=1m skip=5024 seek=5024 count=100 conv=notrunc
reboot

I also created 10GB and 20GB files with large extents using the same
method.

ioctl(F2FS_IOC_PRECACHE_EXTENTS) test results are as follows:
  +-----------+---------+---------+-----------+
  | File size | Before  | After   | Reduction |
  +-----------+---------+---------+-----------+
  | 5GB       | 101.8ms | 37.0ms  | 72.1%     |
  | 10GB      | 222.9ms | 56.0ms  | 74.9%     |
  | 20GB      | 446.2ms | 116.4ms | 73.9%     |
  +-----------+---------+---------+-----------+
Tested on a 256GB mobile device with an SM8750 chipset.

When we get wrong extent info data, and look up extent_node in rb tree,
it will cause infinite loop (CONFIG_F2FS_CHECK_FS=n). Avoiding this by
return NULL and print some kernel messages in that case.

Script to reproduce:
f2fs_io write 1 0 1881 rand dsync testfile
f2fs_io fallocate 0 7708672 4096 testfile
f2fs_io write 1 1881 1 rand buffered testfile
fsync testfile
umount
mount
f2fs_io precache_extents testfile

When the data layout is something like this:
dnode1:                     dnode2:
[0]      A                  [0]    NEW_ADDR
[1]      A+1                [1]    0x0
...
[1016]   A+1016
[1017]   B (B!=A+1017)      [1017] 0x0

During precache_extents, we map the last block(valid blkaddr) in dnode1:
map-&gt;m_flags |= F2FS_MAP_MAPPED;
map-&gt;m_pblk = blkaddr(valid blkaddr);
map-&gt;m_len = 1;
then we goto next_dnode, meet the first block in dnode2(hole), goto sync_out:
map-&gt;m_flags &amp; F2FS_MAP_MAPPED == true, and we make zero-sized extent:

map-&gt;m_len = 1
ofs = start_pgofs - map-&gt;m_lblk = 1882 - 1881 = 1
ei.fofs = start_pgofs = 1882
ei.len = map-&gt;m_len - ofs = 1 - 1 = 0

Rebased on patch[1], this patch can cover these cases to avoid zero-sized extent:
A,B,C is valid blkaddr
case1:
dnode1:                     dnode2:
[0]      A                  [0]    NEW_ADDR
[1]      A+1                [1]    0x0
...                         ....
[1016]   A+1016
[1017]   B (B!=A+1017)      [1017] 0x0

case2:

[1]      A+1                [1]    C+1
