Linus Torvalds 50b8b3f85a This merge window saw the the following new featuers added to ext4:
* Direct I/O via iomap (required the iomap-for-next branch from Darrick
    as a prereq).
  * Support for using dioread-nolock where the block size < page size.
  * Support for encryption for file systems where the block size < page size.
  * Rework of journal credits handling so a revoke-heavy workload will
    not cause the journal to run out of space.
  * Replace bit-spinlocks with spinlocks in jbd2
 
 Also included were some bug fixes and cleanups, mostly to clean up
 corner cases from fuzzed file systems and error path handling.
