Merge tag 'xfs-for-linus-4.8-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dgc/linux-xfs
Pull xfs updates from Dave Chinner:
"The major addition is the new iomap based block mapping
infrastructure. We've been kicking this about locally for years, but
there are other filesystems want to use it too (e.g. gfs2). Now it
is fully working, reviewed and ready for merge and be used by other
filesystems.
There are a lot of other fixes and cleanups in the tree, but those are
XFS internal things and none are of the scale or visibility of the
iomap changes. See below for details.
I am likely to send another pull request next week - we're just about
ready to merge some new functionality (on disk block->owner reverse
mapping infrastructure), but that's a huge chunk of code (74 files
changed, 7283 insertions(+), 1114 deletions(-)) so I'm keeping that
separate to all the "normal" pull request changes so they don't get
lost in the noise.
Summary of changes in this update:
- generic iomap based IO path infrastructure
- generic iomap based fiemap implementation
- xfs iomap based Io path implementation
- buffer error handling fixes
- tracking of in flight buffer IO for unmount serialisation
- direct IO and DAX io path separation and simplification
- shortform directory format definition changes for wider platform
compatibility
- various buffer cache fixes
- cleanups in preparation for rmap merge
- error injection cleanups and fixes
- log item format buffer memory allocation restructuring to prevent
rare OOM reclaim deadlocks
- sparse inode chunks are now fully supported"
