Merge tag 'for-linus-v3.8-rc1' of git://oss.sgi.com/xfs/xfs
Pull xfs update from Ben Myers:
"There is plenty going on, including the cleanup of xfssyncd, metadata
verifiers, CRC infrastructure for the log, tracking of inodes with
speculative allocation, a cleanup of xfs_fs_subr.c, fixes for
XFS_IOC_ZERO_RANGE, and important fix related to log replay (only
update the last_sync_lsn when a transaction completes), a fix for
deadlock on AGF buffers, documentation and comment updates, and a few
more cleanups and fixes.
Details:
- remove the xfssyncd mess
- only update the last_sync_lsn when a transaction completes
- zero allocation_args on the kernel stack
- fix AGF/alloc workqueue deadlock
- silence uninitialised f.file warning
- Update inode alloc comments
- Update mount options documentation
- report projid32bit feature in geometry call
- speculative preallocation inode tracking
- fix attr tree double split corruption
- fix broken error handling in xfs_vm_writepage
- drop buffer io reference when a bad bio is built
- add more attribute tree trace points
- growfs infrastructure changes for 3.8
- fs/xfs/xfs_fs_subr.c die die die
- add CRC infrastructure
- add CRC checks to the log
- Remove description of nodelaylog mount option from xfs.txt
- inode allocation should use unmapped buffers
- byte range granularity for XFS_IOC_ZERO_RANGE
- fix direct IO nested transaction deadlock
- fix stray dquot unlock when reclaiming dquots
- fix sparse reported log CRC endian issue"
Fix up trivial conflict in fs/xfs/xfs_fsops.c due to the same patch
having been applied twice (commits eaef854335ce and 1375cb65e87b: "xfs:
growfs: don't read garbage for new secondary superblocks") with later
updates to the affected code in the XFS tree.
