Linus Torvalds 44b4d13b70 f2fs-for-6.13-rc1
This series introduces a device aliasing feature where user can carve out
 partitions but reclaim the space back by deleting aliased file in root dir.
 In addition to that, there're numerous minor bug fixes in zoned device support,
 checkpoint=disable, extent cache management, fiemap, and lazytime mount option.
 The full list of noticeable changes can be found below.
 
 Enhancement:
  - introduce device aliasing file
  - add stats in debugfs to show multiple devices
  - add a sysfs node to limit max read extent count per-inode
  - modify f2fs_is_checkpoint_ready logic to allow more data to be written with the CP disable
  - decrease spare area for pinned files for zoned devices
 
 Bug fix:
  - Revert "f2fs: remove unreachable lazytime mount option parsing"
  - adjust unusable cap before checkpoint=disable mode
  - fix to drop all discards after creating snapshot on lvm device
  - fix to shrink read extent node in batches
  - fix changing cursegs if recovery fails on zoned device
  - fix to adjust appropriate length for fiemap
  - fix fiemap failure issue when page size is 16KB
  - fix to avoid forcing direct write to use buffered IO on inline_data inode
  - fix to map blocks correctly for direct write
  - fix to account dirty data in __get_secs_required()
  - fix null-ptr-deref in f2fs_submit_page_bio()
  - f2fs: compress: fix inconsistent update of i_blocks in release_compress_blocks and reserve_compress_blocks

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
