Pull ext4 updates from Ted Ts'o:
 "This merge request includes the dax-4.0-iomap-pmd branch which is
  needed for both ext4 and xfs dax changes to use iomap for DAX. It also
  includes the fscrypt branch which is needed for ubifs encryption work
  as well as ext4 encryption and fscrypt cleanups.

  Lots of cleanups and bug fixes, especially making sure ext4 is robust
  against maliciously corrupted file systems --- especially maliciously
  corrupted xattr blocks and a maliciously corrupted superblock. Also
  fix ext4 support for 64k block sizes so it works well on ppcle. Fixed
  mbcache so we don't miss some common xattr blocks that can be merged"

Adds the new BLKREPORTZONE and BLKRESETZONE ioctls for respectively
obtaining the zone configuration of a zoned block device and resetting
the write pointer of sequential zones of a zoned block device.

The BLKREPORTZONE ioctl maps directly to a single call of the function
blkdev_report_zones. The zone information result is passed as an array
of struct blk_zone identical to the structure used internally for
processing the REQ_OP_ZONE_REPORT operation.  The BLKRESETZONE ioctl
maps to a single call of the blkdev_reset_zones function.

    &lt; XFS has gained super CoW powers! &gt;
     ----------------------------------

Pull XFS support for shared data extents from Dave Chinner:
 "This is the second part of the XFS updates for this merge cycle.  This
  pullreq contains the new shared data extents feature for XFS.

  Given the complexity and size of this change I am expecting - like the
  addition of reverse mapping last cycle - that there will be some
  follow-up bug fixes and cleanups around the -rc3 stage for issues that
  I'm sure will show up once the code hits a wider userbase.

  What it is:

  At the most basic level we are simply adding shared data extents to
  XFS - i.e. a single extent on disk can now have multiple owners. To do
  this we have to add new on-disk features to both track the shared
  extents and the number of times they've been shared. This is done by
  the new "refcount" btree that sits in every allocation group. When we
  share or unshare an extent, this tree gets updated.

  Along with this new tree, the reverse mapping tree needs to be updated
  to track each owner or a shared extent. This also needs to be updated
  ever share/unshare operation. These interactions at extent allocation
  and freeing time have complex ordering and recovery constraints, so
  there's a significant amount of new intent-based transaction code to
  ensure that operations are performed atomically from both the runtime
  and integrity/crash recovery perspectives.

  We also need to break sharing when writes hit a shared extent - this
  is where the new copy-on-write implementation comes in. We allocate
  new storage and copy the original data along with the overwrite data
  into the new location. We only do this for data as we don't share
  metadata at all - each inode has it's own metadata that tracks the
  shared data extents, the extents undergoing CoW and it's own private
  extents.

  Of course, being XFS, nothing is simple - we use delayed allocation
  for CoW similar to how we use it for normal writes. ENOSPC is a
  significant issue here - we build on the reservation code added in
  4.8-rc1 with the reverse mapping feature to ensure we don't get
  spurious ENOSPC issues part way through a CoW operation. These
  mechanisms also help minimise fragmentation due to repeated CoW
  operations. To further reduce fragmentation overhead, we've also
  introduced a CoW extent size hint, which indicates how large a region
  we should allocate when we execute a CoW operation.

  With all this functionality in place, we can hook up .copy_file_range,
  .clone_file_range and .dedupe_file_range and we gain all the
  capabilities of reflink and other vfs provided functionality that
  enable manipulation to shared extents. We also added a fallocate mode
  that explicitly unshares a range of a file, which we implemented as an
  explicit CoW of all the shared extents in a file.

  As such, it's a huge chunk of new functionality with new on-disk
  format features and internal infrastructure. It warns at mount time as
  an experimental feature and that it may eat data (as we do with all
  new on-disk features until they stabilise). We have not released
  userspace suport for it yet - userspace support currently requires
  download from Darrick's xfsprogs repo and build from source, so the
  access to this feature is really developer/tester only at this point.
  Initial userspace support will be released at the same time the kernel
  with this code in it is released.

  The new code causes 5-6 new failures with xfstests - these aren't
  serious functional failures but things the output of tests changing
  slightly due to perturbations in layouts, space usage, etc. OTOH,
  we've added 150+ new tests to xfstests that specifically exercise this
  new functionality so it's got far better test coverage than any
  functionality we've previously added to XFS.

  Darrick has done a pretty amazing job getting us to this stage, and
  special mention also needs to go to Christoph (review, testing,
  improvements and bug fixes) and Brian (caught several intricate bugs
  during review) for the effort they've also put in.

  Summary:

   - unshare range (FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE) support for fallocate

   - copy-on-write extent size hints (FS_XFLAG_COWEXTSIZE) for fsxattr
     interface

   - shared extent support for XFS

<title>locks: fix file locking on overlayfs</title>

This patch allows flock, posix locks, ofd locks and leases to work
correctly on overlayfs.

Instead of using the underlying inode for storing lock context use the
overlay inode.  This allows locks to be persistent across copy-up.

This is done by introducing locks_inode() helper and using it instead of
file_inode() to get the inode in locking code.  For non-overlayfs the two
are equivalent, except for an extra pointer dereference in locks_inode().

Since lock operations are in "struct file_operations" we must also make
sure not to call underlying filesystem's lock operations.  Introcude a
super block flag MS_NOREMOTELOCK to this effect.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "The bulk of this update was stabilized before the merge window and
  appeared in -next.  The "device dax" implementation was revised this
  week in response to review feedback, and to address failures detected
  by the recently expanded ndctl unit test suite.

  Not included in this pull request are two dax topic branches (dax
  error handling, and dax radix-tree locking).  These topics were
  deferred to get a few more days of -next integration testing, and to
  coordinate a branch baseline with Ted and the ext4 tree.  Vishal and
  Ross will send the error handling and locking topics respectively in
  the next few days.

  This branch has received a positive build result from the kbuild robot
  across 226 configs.

  Summary:

   - Device DAX for persistent memory: Device DAX is the device-centric
     analogue of Filesystem DAX (CONFIG_FS_DAX).  It allows memory
     ranges to be allocated and mapped without need of an intervening
     file system.  Device DAX is strict, precise and predictable.
     Specifically this interface:

      a) Guarantees fault granularity with respect to a given page size
         (pte, pmd, or pud) set at configuration time.

      b) Enforces deterministic behavior by being strict about what
         fault scenarios are supported.

     Persistent memory is the first target, but the mechanism is also
     targeted for exclusive allocations of performance/feature
     differentiated memory ranges.

   - Support for the HPE DSM (device specific method) command formats.
     This enables management of these first generation devices until a
     unified DSM specification materializes.

   - Further ACPI 6.1 compliance with support for the common dimm
     identifier format.

   - Various fixes and cleanups across the subsystem"

This is the per-I/O equivalent of O_DSYNC and O_SYNC, and very useful for
all kinds of file servers and storage targets.

Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
 "New Features:
   - uplift filesystem encryption into fs/crypto/
   - give sysfs entries to control memroy consumption

  Enhancements:
   - aio performance by preallocating blocks in -&gt;write_iter
   - use writepages lock for only WB_SYNC_ALL
   - avoid redundant inline_data conversion
   - enhance forground GC
   - use wait_for_stable_page as possible
   - speed up SEEK_DATA and fiiemap

  Bug Fixes:
   - corner case in terms of -ENOSPC for inline_data
   - hung task caused by long latency in shrinker
   - corruption between atomic write and f2fs_trace_pid
   - avoid garbage lengths in dentries
   - revoke atomicly written pages if an error occurs

  In addition, there are various minor bug fixes and clean-ups"

* tag 'for-f2fs-4.6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jaegeuk/f2fs: (81 commits)
