Pull ext4 updates from Ted Ts'o:
 "Major changes for 3.14 include support for the newly added ZERO_RANGE
  and COLLAPSE_RANGE fallocate operations, and scalability improvements
  in the jbd2 layer and in xattr handling when the extended attributes
  spill over into an external block.

  Other than that, the usual clean ups and minor bug fixes"

mm + fs: store shadow entries in page cache

2014-04-03T23:21:01+00:00

Reclaim will be leaving shadow entries in the page cache radix tree upon
evicting the real page.  As those pages are found from the LRU, an
iput() can lead to the inode being freed concurrently.  At this point,
reclaim must no longer install shadow pages because the inode freeing
code needs to ensure the page tree is really empty.

Add an address_space flag, AS_EXITING, that the inode freeing code sets
under the tree lock before doing the final truncate.  Reclaim will check
for this flag before installing shadow pages.

fs: push sync_filesystem() down to the file system's remount_fs()

2014-03-13T14:14:33+00:00

Previously, the no-op "mount -o mount /dev/xxx" operation when the
file system is already mounted read-write causes an implied,
unconditional syncfs().  This seems pretty stupid, and it's certainly
documented or guaraunteed to do this, nor is it particularly useful,
except in the case where the file system was mounted rw and is getting
remounted read-only.

However, it's possible that there might be some file systems that are
actually depending on this behavior.  In most file systems, it's
probably fine to only call sync_filesystem() when transitioning from
read-write to read-only, and there are some file systems where this is
not needed at all (for example, for a pseudo-filesystem or something
like romfs).

hpfs: optimize quad buffer loading

2014-02-03T00:24:07+00:00

HPFS needs to load 4 consecutive 512-byte sectors when accessing the
directory nodes or bitmaps.  We can't switch to 2048-byte block size
because files are allocated in the units of 512-byte sectors.

Previously, the driver would allocate a 2048-byte area using kmalloc,
copy the data from four buffers to this area and eventually copy them
back if they were modified.

In the current implementation of the buffer cache, buffers are allocated
in the pagecache.  That means that 4 consecutive 512-byte buffers are
stored in consecutive areas in the kernel address space.  So, we don't
need to allocate extra memory and copy the content of the buffers there.

This patch optimizes the code to avoid copying the buffers.  It checks
if the four buffers are stored in contiguous memory - if they are not,
it falls back to allocating a 2048-byte area and copying data there.

hpfs: remember free space

2014-02-03T00:24:07+00:00

Previously, hpfs scanned all bitmaps each time the user asked for free
space using statfs.  This patch changes it so that hpfs scans the
bitmaps only once, remembes the free space and on next invocation of
statfs it returns the value instantly.

New versions of wine are hammering on the statfs syscall very heavily,
making some games unplayable when they're stored on hpfs, with load
times in minutes.

This should be backported to the stable kernels because it fixes
user-visible problem (excessive level load times in wine).

hpfs: implement prefetch to improve performance

2013-07-04T18:22:46+00:00

This patch implements prefetch to improve performance.  It helps mostly
when scanning the bitmaps to calculate free space.
