With this ioctl available, what is the exact procedure to write and then later
securely erase a file on f2fs?  In particular, how can the user prevent f2fs
from making multiple copies of file data blocks as part of garbage collection?

Why can the request_queue be NULL here?

Is it valid to check f2fs_is_atomic_file() and f2fs_compressed_file() outside of
inode_lock()?

Isn't this redundant with mnt_want_write_file()?

Also, shouldn't write access to the file be required, i.e.
(filp->f_mode & FMODE_WRITE)?  Then the f2fs_readonly() and
mnt_want_write_file() checks would be unnecessary.

Doesn't this check have to be serialized with remount?

Need to reject unknown flags:

	if (flags & ~F2FS_TRIM_FILE_MASK)
		return -EINVAL;

->i_size is stable while holding inode_lock().  So just use ->i_size instead of
i_size_read().

This can be simplified to:

	pg_end = DIV_ROUND_UP(file_size, PAGE_SIZE);
