…l/git/jaegeuk/f2fs

Pull new F2FS filesystem from Jaegeuk Kim:
 "Introduce a new file system, Flash-Friendly File System (F2FS), to
  Linux 3.8.

  Highlights:
   - Add initial f2fs source codes
   - Fix an endian conversion bug
   - Fix build failures on random configs
   - Fix the power-off-recovery routine
   - Minor cleanup, coding style, and typos patches"

From the Kconfig help text:

  F2FS is based on Log-structured File System (LFS), which supports
  versatile "flash-friendly" features. The design has been focused on
  addressing the fundamental issues in LFS, which are snowball effect
  of wandering tree and high cleaning overhead.

  Since flash-based storages show different characteristics according to
  the internal geometry or flash memory management schemes aka FTL, F2FS
  and tools support various parameters not only for configuring on-disk
  layout, but also for selecting allocation and cleaning algorithms.

and there's an article by Neil Brown about it on lwn.net:
