Pull Ceph updates from Sage Weil:
 "A few groups of patches here.  Alex has been hard at work improving
  the RBD code, layout groundwork for understanding the new formats and
  doing layering.  Most of the infrastructure is now in place for the
  final bits that will come with the next window.

  There are a few changes to the data layout.  Jim Schutt's patch fixes
  some non-ideal CRUSH behavior, and a set of patches from me updates
  the client to speak a newer version of the protocol and implement an
  improved hashing strategy across storage nodes (when the server side
  supports it too).

  A pair of patches from Sam Lang fix the atomicity of open+create
  operations.  Several patches from Yan, Zheng fix various mds/client
  issues that turned up during multi-mds torture tests.

  A final set of patches expose file layouts via virtual xattrs, and
  allow the policies to be set on directories via xattrs as well
  (avoiding the awkward ioctl interface and providing a consistent
  interface for both kernel mount and ceph-fuse users)."

The mds now sends back a created inode if the create request
performed the create.  If the file already existed, no inode is
returned in the reply.  This allows ceph to set the created flag
in atomic_open so that permissions are properly checked in the case
that the file wasn't created by the create call to the mds.

To ensure compability with previous kernels, a feature for sending
back the inode in the create reply was added, so that the mds will
only send back the inode if the client indicates it supports the
feature.

The definitions for the ceph_mds_session and ceph_osd both contain
five fields related only to "authorizers."  Encapsulate those fields
into their own struct type, allowing for better isolation in some
upcoming patches.

Fix the #includes in "linux/ceph/osd_client.h" to lay out their more
complete canonical path.

Lockdep was reporting a possible circular lock dependency in
dentry_lease_is_valid().  That function needs to sample the
session's s_cap_gen and and s_cap_ttl fields coherently, but needs
to do so while holding a dentry lock.  The s_cap_lock field was
being used to protect the two fields, but that can't be taken while
holding a lock on a dentry within the session.

In most cases, the s_cap_gen and s_cap_ttl fields only get operated
on separately.  But in three cases they need to be updated together.
Implement a new lock to protect the spots updating both fields
atomically is required.

<title>ceph: use i_ceph_lock instead of i_lock</title>

We have been using i_lock to protect all kinds of data structures in the
ceph_inode_info struct, including lists of inodes that we need to iterate
over while avoiding races with inode destruction.  That requires grabbing
a reference to the inode with the list lock protected, but igrab() now
takes i_lock to check the inode flags.

Changing the list lock ordering would be a painful process.

However, using a ceph-specific i_ceph_lock in the ceph inode instead of
i_lock is a simple mechanical change and avoids the ordering constraints
imposed by igrab().

We carry a pin on the parent directory for the rename source and dest
dentries.  For the source it's r_locked_dir; we need to explicitly
reference the old_dentry parent as well, since the dentry's d_parent may
change between when the request was created and pinned and when it is
freed.

In e9964c10 we change cap flushing to do a delicate dance because some
inodes on the cap_dirty list could be in a migrating state (got EXPORT but
not IMPORT) in which we couldn't actually flush and move from
dirty-&gt;flushing, breaking the while (!empty) { process first } loop
structure.  It worked for a single sync thread, but was not reentrant and
triggered infinite loops when multiple syncers came along.

Instead, move inodes with dirty to a separate cap_dirty_migrating list
when in the limbo export-but-no-import state, allowing us to go back to
the simple loop structure (which was reentrant).  This is cleaner and more
robust.

Audited the cap_dirty users and this looks fine:
list_empty(&amp;ci-&gt;i_dirty_item) is still a reliable indicator of whether we
have dirty caps (which list we're on is irrelevant) and list_del_init()
calls still do the right thing.
