<title>lib/vsprintf.c: remove %Z support</title>

Now that %z is standartised in C99 there is no reason to support %Z.
Unlike %L it doesn't even make format strings smaller.

Use BUILD_BUG_ON in a couple ATM drivers.

In case anyone didn't notice lib/vsprintf.o is about half of SLUB which
is in my opinion is quite an achievement.  Hopefully this patch inspires
someone else to trim vsprintf.c more.

<title>mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros</title>

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

This promise never materialized.  And unlikely will.

We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE.  And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.

Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.

Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special.  They are
not.

The changes are pretty straight-forward:

 - &lt;foo&gt; &lt;&lt; (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -&gt; &lt;foo&gt;;

 - &lt;foo&gt; &gt;&gt; (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -&gt; &lt;foo&gt;;

 - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -&gt; PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

 - page_cache_get() -&gt; get_page();

 - page_cache_release() -&gt; put_page();

This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below.  For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.

The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.

There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach.  I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch.  Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

<title>osd fs: __r4w_get_page rely on PageUptodate for uptodate</title>

Commit 42cb14b110a5 ("mm: migrate dirty page without
clear_page_dirty_for_io etc") simplified the migration of a PageDirty
pagecache page: one stat needs moving from zone to zone and that's about
all.

It's convenient and safest for it to shift the PageDirty bit from old
page to new, just before updating the zone stats: before copying data
and marking the new PageUptodate.  This is all done while both pages are
isolated and locked, just as before; and just as before, there's a
moment when the new page is visible in the radix_tree, but not yet
PageUptodate.  What's new is that it may now be briefly visible as
PageDirty before it is PageUptodate.

When I scoured the tree to see if this could cause a problem anywhere,
the only places I found were in two similar functions __r4w_get_page():
which look up a page with find_get_page() (not using page lock), then
claim it's uptodate if it's PageDirty or PageWriteback or PageUptodate.

I'm not sure whether that was right before, but now it might be wrong
(on rare occasions): only claim the page is uptodate if PageUptodate.
Or perhaps the page in question could never be migratable anyway?

<title>NFSv4.1/pnfs: Separate out metadata and data consistency for pNFS</title>

The LAYOUTCOMMIT operation means different things to different layout types.
For blocks and objects, it is both a data and metadata consistency operation.
For files and flexfiles, it is only a metadata consistency operation.

This patch separates out the 2 cases, allowing the files/flexfiles layout
drivers to optimise away the data consistency calls to layoutcommit.

For read, we always use pg_mirrors[0], so this effectively gives us freedom

<title>nfs: add mirroring support to pgio layer</title>

This patch adds mirrored write support to the pgio layer. The default
is to use one mirror, but pgio callers may define callbacks to change
this to any value up to the (arbitrarily selected) limit of 16.

The basic idea is to break out members of nfs_pageio_descriptor that cannot
be shared between mirrored DSes and put them in a new structure.
