por_fsstress reports inconsistent status in orphan inode, the root cause
of this is in f2fs_write_raw_pages() we decrease i_compr_blocks incorrectly
due to wrong calculation in f2fs_compressed_blocks().
So this patch exposes below two functions based on __f2fs_cluster_blocks:
- f2fs_compressed_blocks: get count of compressed blocks in compressed cluster
- f2fs_cluster_blocks: get count of valid blocks (including reserved blocks)
in compressed cluster.
Then use f2fs_compress_blocks() to get correct compressed blocks count in
f2fs_write_raw_pages().

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

As Geert Uytterhoeven reported:
for parameter HZ/50 in congestion_wait(BLK_RW_ASYNC, HZ/50);
On some platforms, HZ can be less than 50, then unexpected 0 timeout
jiffies will be set in congestion_wait().
This patch introduces a macro DEFAULT_IO_TIMEOUT to wrap a determinate
value with msecs_to_jiffies(20) to instead HZ/50 to avoid such issue.
Quoted from Geert Uytterhoeven:
"A timeout of HZ means 1 second.
HZ/50 means 20 ms, but has the risk of being zero, if HZ < 50.
If you want to use a timeout of 20 ms, you best use msecs_to_jiffies(20),
as that takes care of the special cases, and never returns 0."

Zonefs is a very simple file system exposing each zone of a zoned block
device as a file.
Unlike a regular file system with native zoned block device support
(e.g. f2fs or the on-going btrfs effort), zonefs does not hide the
sequential write constraint of zoned block devices to the user. As a
result, zonefs is not a POSIX compliant file system. Its goal is to
simplify the implementation of zoned block devices support in
applications by replacing raw block device file accesses with a richer
file based API, avoiding relying on direct block device file ioctls
which may be more obscure to developers.
One example of this approach is the implementation of LSM
(log-structured merge) tree structures (such as used in RocksDB and
LevelDB) on zoned block devices by allowing SSTables to be stored in a
zone file similarly to a regular file system rather than as a range of
sectors of a zoned device. The introduction of the higher level
construct "one file is one zone" can help reducing the amount of changes
needed in the application while at the same time allowing the use of
zoned block devices with various programming languages other than C.
Zonefs IO management implementation uses the new iomap generic code.
Zonefs has been successfully tested using a functional test suite
(available with zonefs userland format tool on github) and a prototype
implementation of LevelDB on top of zonefs.

Pull vboxfs from Al Viro:
"This is the VirtualBox guest shared folder support by Hans de Goede,
with fixups for fs_parse folded in to avoid bisection hazards from
those API changes..."
* 'work.vboxsf' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
fs: Add VirtualBox guest shared folder (vboxsf) support
VirtualBox hosts can share folders with guests, this commit adds a
VFS driver implementing the Linux-guest side of this, allowing folders
exported by the host to be mounted under Linux.
This driver depends on the guest <-> host IPC functions exported by
the vboxguest driver.

One patch in the compat-ioctl series broke 32-bit rootfs for multiple
people testing on 64-bit kernels. Let's fix it in -rc1 before others
run into the same issue.

Pull vfs file system parameter updates from Al Viro:
"Saner fs_parser.c guts and data structures. The system-wide registry
of syntax types (string/enum/int32/oct32/.../etc.) is gone and so is
the horror switch() in fs_parse() that would have to grow another case
every time something got added to that system-wide registry.
New syntax types can be added by filesystems easily now, and their
namespace is that of functions - not of system-wide enum members. IOW,
they can be shared or kept private and if some turn out to be widely
useful, we can make them common library helpers, etc., without having
to do anything whatsoever to fs_parse() itself.
And we already get that kind of requests - the thing that finally
pushed me into doing that was "oh, and let's add one for timeouts -
things like 15s or 2h". If some filesystem really wants that, let them
do it. Without somebody having to play gatekeeper for the variants
blessed by direct support in fs_parse(), TYVM.
Quite a bit of boilerplate is gone. And IMO the data structures make a
lot more sense now. -200LoC, while we are at it"
