1dfeb76847 ocfs2: add a mount option journal_async_commit on ocfs2 filesystem
Add a mount option to support JBD2 feature:

JBD2_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_ASYNC_COMMIT.  When this feature is opened, journal
commit block can be written to disk without waiting for descriptor blocks,
which can improve journal commit performance.  This option will enable
'journal_checksum' internally.

Using the fs_mark benchmark, using journal_async_commit shows a 50%
improvement, the files per second go up from 215.2 to 317.5.

test script:
fs_mark  -d  /mnt/ocfs2/  -s  10240  -n  1000

default:
FSUse%        Count         Size    Files/sec     App Overhead
     0         1000        10240        215.2            17878

with journal_async_commit option:
FSUse%        Count         Size    Files/sec     App Overhead
     0         1000        10240        317.5            17881

8650b8a058 nfsd: pNFS block layout driver
Add a small shim between core nfsd and filesystems to translate the
somewhat cumbersome pNFS data structures and semantics to something
more palatable for Linux filesystems.

Thanks to Rick McNeal for the old prototype pNFS blocklayout server
code, which gave a lot of inspiration to this version even if no

dd22f551ac block: Change direct_access calling convention
In order to support accesses to larger chunks of memory, pass in a
'size' parameter (counted in bytes), and return the amount available at
that address.

Add a new helper function, bdev_direct_access(), to handle common
functionality including partition handling, checking the length requested
is positive, checking for the sector being page-aligned, and checking
the length of the request does not pass the end of the partition.

8ce74dd605 Merge tag 'trace-seq-file-cleanup' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace into for-next
Pull the beginning of seq_file cleanup from Steven:
  "I'm looking to clean up the seq_file code and to eventually merge the
  trace_seq code with seq_file as well, since they basically do the same thing.

  Part of this process is to remove the return code of seq_printf() and friends
  as they are rather inconsistent. It is better to use the new function
  seq_has_overflowed() if you want to stop processing when the buffer
  is full. Note, if the buffer is full, the seq_file code will throw away
  the contents, allocate a bigger buffer, and then call your code again
  to fill in the data. The only thing that breaking out of the function
  early does is to save a little time which is probably never noticed.

  I started with patches from Joe Perches and modified them as well.
  There's many more places that need to be updated before we can convert
  seq_printf() and friends to return void. But this patch set introduces
  the seq_has_overflowed() and does some initial updates."

9761536e1d debugfs: Have debugfs_print_regs32() return void
The seq_printf() will soon just return void, and seq_has_overflowed()
should be used instead to see if the seq can no longer accept input.

As the return value of debugfs_print_regs32() has no users and
the seq_file descriptor should be checked with seq_has_overflowed()
instead of return values of functions, it is better to just have
debugfs_print_regs32() also return void.

The return values of seq_printf/puts/putc are frequently misused.

functions.

Move the seq_overflow() to a global inlined function called
seq_has_overflowed() that can be used by the users of seq_file() calls.

et al.  Add a description of seq_has_overflowed().

4e07ad6406 vfs: fix typo in s_op->alloc_inode() documentation
The function which calls s_op->alloc_inode() is not inode_alloc(), but
instead alloc_inode() which lives in fs/inode.c .

The typo was there from the beginning from 5ea626aa (VFS: update
documentation, 2005) - there was no standalone inode_alloc() for the
whole kernel history.

c45198eda2 locks: move freeing of leases outside of i_lock
There was only one place where we still could free a file_lock while
holding the i_lock -- lease_modify. Add a new list_head argument to the
lm_change operation, pass in a private list when calling it, and fix
those callers to dispose of the list once the lock has been dropped.

e6f5c78930 locks: plumb a "priv" pointer into the setlease routines
In later patches, we're going to add a new lock_manager_operation to
finish setting up the lease while still holding the i_lock.  To do
this, we'll need to pass a little bit of info in the fcntl setlease
case (primarily an fasync structure). Plumb the extra pointer into
there in advance of that.

We declare this pointer as a void ** to make it clear that this is
private info, and that the caller isn't required to set this unless
the lm_setup specifically requires it.

c1ce1b02bb f2fs: give an option to enable in-place-updates during fsync to users
If user wrote F2FS_IPU_FSYNC:4 in /sys/fs/f2fs/ipu_policy, f2fs_sync_file
only starts to try in-place-updates.
And, if the number of dirty pages is over /sys/fs/f2fs/min_fsync_blocks, it
keeps out-of-order manner. Otherwise, it triggers in-place-updates.

This may be used by storage showing very high random write performance.

For example, it can be used when,

Seq. writes (Data) + wait + Seq. writes (Node)

is pretty much slower than,

Rand. writes (Data)
