Pull xfs update from Dave Chinner:
 "This update contains:

   - RENAME_WHITEOUT support

   - conversion of per-cpu superblock accounting to use generic counters

   - new inode mmap lock so that we can lock page faults out of
     truncate, hole punch and other direct extent manipulation functions
     to avoid racing mmap writes from causing data corruption

   - rework of direct IO submission and completion to solve data
     corruption issue when running concurrent extending DIO writes.
     Also solves problem of running IO completion transactions in
     interrupt context during size extending AIO writes.

   - FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE support for inserting holes into a file via
     direct extent manipulation to avoid needing to copy data within the
     file

   - attribute block header field overflow fix for 64k block size
     filesystems

   - Lots of changes to log messaging to be more informative and concise
     when errors occur.  Also prevent a lot of unnecessary log spamming
     due to cascading failures in error conditions.

   - lots of cleanups and bug fixes

  One thing of note is the direct IO fixes that we merged last week
  after the window opened.  Even though a little late, they fix a user
  reported data corruption and have been pretty well tested.  I figured
  there was not much point waiting another 2 weeks for -rc1 to be
  released just so I could send them to you..."

* tag 'xfs-for-linus-4.1-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dgc/linux-xfs: (49 commits)
  xfs: using generic_file_direct_write() is unnecessary
  xfs: direct IO EOF zeroing needs to drain AIO
  xfs: DIO write completion size updates race

<title>proc: show locks in /proc/pid/fdinfo/X</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rtsrv.cs.unc.edu/cgit/cgit.cgi/litmus-rt.git/commit/?id=6c8c90319c0bb1c9e0b68e721359b89ae4f28465'/>
<id>6c8c90319c0bb1c9e0b68e721359b89ae4f28465</id>
<content type='text'>
Let's show locks which are associated with a file descriptor in
its fdinfo file.

Currently we don't have a reliable way to determine who holds a lock.  We
can find some information in /proc/locks, but PID which is reported there
can be wrong.  For example, a process takes a lock, then forks a child and
dies.  In this case /proc/locks contains the parent pid, which can be
reused by another process.

$ cat /proc/locks
...
6: FLOCK  ADVISORY  WRITE 324 00:13:13431 0 EOF
...

$ ps -C rpcbind
  PID TTY          TIME CMD
  332 ?        00:00:00 rpcbind

$ cat /proc/332/fdinfo/4
pos:	0
flags:	0100000
mnt_id:	22
lock:	1: FLOCK  ADVISORY  WRITE 324 00:13:13431 0 EOF

$ ls -l /proc/332/fd/4
lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Mar  5 14:43 /proc/332/fd/4 -&gt; /run/rpcbind.lock

$ ls -l /proc/324/fd/
total 0
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 27 14:50 0 -&gt; /dev/pts/0
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 27 14:50 1 -&gt; /dev/pts/0
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 27 14:49 2 -&gt; /dev/pts/0

You can see that the process with the 324 pid doesn't hold the lock.

This information is required for proper dumping and restoring file
locks.

Let's show locks which are associated with a file descriptor in
its fdinfo file.

Currently we don't have a reliable way to determine who holds a lock.  We
can find some information in /proc/locks, but PID which is reported there
can be wrong.  For example, a process takes a lock, then forks a child and
dies.  In this case /proc/locks contains the parent pid, which can be
reused by another process.

$ cat /proc/locks
...
6: FLOCK  ADVISORY  WRITE 324 00:13:13431 0 EOF
...

$ ps -C rpcbind
  PID TTY          TIME CMD
  332 ?        00:00:00 rpcbind

$ cat /proc/332/fdinfo/4
pos:	0
flags:	0100000
mnt_id:	22
lock:	1: FLOCK  ADVISORY  WRITE 324 00:13:13431 0 EOF

$ ls -l /proc/332/fd/4
lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Mar  5 14:43 /proc/332/fd/4 -&gt; /run/rpcbind.lock

$ ls -l /proc/324/fd/
total 0
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 27 14:50 0 -&gt; /dev/pts/0
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 27 14:50 1 -&gt; /dev/pts/0
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 27 14:49 2 -&gt; /dev/pts/0

You can see that the process with the 324 pid doesn't hold the lock.

This information is required for proper dumping and restoring file
locks.

<title>mm: new pfn_mkwrite same as page_mkwrite for VM_PFNMAP</title>

This will allow FS that uses VM_PFNMAP | VM_MIXEDMAP (no page structs) to
get notified when access is a write to a read-only PFN.

This can happen if we mmap() a file then first mmap-read from it to
page-in a read-only PFN, than we mmap-write to the same page.

We need this functionality to fix a DAX bug, where in the scenario above
we fail to set ctime/mtime though we modified the file.  An xfstest is
attached to this patchset that shows the failure and the fix.  (A DAX
patch will follow)

This functionality is extra important for us, because upon dirtying of a
pmem page we also want to RDMA the page to a remote cluster node.

We define a new pfn_mkwrite and do not reuse page_mkwrite because
  1 - The name ;-)
  2 - But mainly because it would take a very long and tedious
      audit of all page_mkwrite functions of VM_MIXEDMAP/VM_PFNMAP
      users. To make sure they do not now CRASH. For example current
      DAX code (which this is for) would crash.
      If we would want to reuse page_mkwrite, We will need to first
      patch all users, so to not-crash-on-no-page. Then enable this
      patch. But even if I did that I would not sleep so well at night.
      Adding a new vector is the safest thing to do, and is not that
      expensive. an extra pointer at a static function vector per driver.
      Also the new vector is better for performance, because else we
      Will call all current Kernel vectors, so to:
        check-ha-no-page-do-nothing and return.

No need to call it from do_shared_fault because do_wp_page is called to
change pte permissions anyway.
