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"

  - fscrypt_zeroout_range
 c. after IOs:
  - fscrypt_decrypt_bio_pages
  - fscrypt_pullback_bio_page
  - fscrypt_restore_control_page

3. policy.c supporting context management.
 a. For ioctls:
  - fscrypt_process_policy
  - fscrypt_get_policy
 b. For context permission
  - fscrypt_has_permitted_context
  - fscrypt_inherit_context

4. keyinfo.c to handle permissions
  - fscrypt_get_encryption_info
  - fscrypt_free_encryption_info

5. fname.c to support filename encryption
 a. general wrapper functions
  - fscrypt_fname_disk_to_usr
  - fscrypt_fname_usr_to_disk
  - fscrypt_setup_filename
  - fscrypt_free_filename

 b. specific filename handling functions
  - fscrypt_fname_alloc_buffer

Dynamically enabling DAX requires that the page cache first be flushed
and invalidated.  This must occur atomically with the change of DAX mode
otherwise we confuse the fsync/msync tracking and violate data
durability guarantees.  Eliminate the possibilty of DAX-disabled to
DAX-enabled transitions for now and revisit this for the next cycle.

Pull more xfs updates from Dave Chinner:
 "This is the second update for XFS that I mentioned in the original
  pull request last week.

  It contains a revert for a suspend regression in 4.4 and a fix for a
  long standing log recovery issue that has been further exposed by all
  the log recovery changes made in the original 4.5 merge.

  There is one more thing in this pull request - one that I forgot to
  merge into the origin.  That is, pulling the XFS_IOC_FS[GS]ETXATTR
  ioctl up to the VFS level so that other filesystems can also use it
  for modifying project quota IDs

  Summary:

   - promotion of XFS_IOC_FS[GS]ETXATTR ioctl to the vfs level so that
     it can be shared with other filesystems.  The ext4 project quota
     functionality is the first target for this.  The commits in this
     series have not been updated with review or final SOB tags because
     the branch they were originally published in was needed by ext4.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "The bulk of this has appeared in -next and independently received a
  build success notification from the kbuild robot.  The 'for-4.5/block-
  dax' topic branch was rebased over the weekend to drop the "block
  device end-of-life" rework that Al would like to see re-implemented
  with a notifier, and to address bug reports against the badblocks
  integration.

  There is pending feedback against "libnvdimm: Add a poison list and
  export badblocks" received last week.  Linda identified some localized
  fixups that we will handle incrementally.

  Summary:

   - Media error handling: The 'badblocks' implementation that
     originated in md-raid is up-levelled to a generic capability of a
     block device.  This initial implementation is limited to being
     consulted in the pmem block-i/o path.  Later, 'badblocks' will be
     consulted when creating dax mappings.

   - Raw block device dax: For virtualization and other cases that want
     large contiguous mappings of persistent memory, add the capability
     to dax-mmap a block device directly.

   - Increased /dev/mem restrictions: Add an option to treat all
     io-memory as IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE, i.e. disable /dev/mem access
     while a driver is actively using an address range.  This behavior
     is controlled via the new CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM option and can be
     overridden by the existing "iomem=relaxed" kernel command line
     option.

   - Miscellaneous fixes include a 'pfn'-device huge page alignment fix,
     block device shutdown crash fix, and other small libnvdimm fixes"

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "The bulk of this has appeared in -next and independently received a
  build success notification from the kbuild robot.  The 'for-4.5/block-
  dax' topic branch was rebased over the weekend to drop the "block
  device end-of-life" rework that Al would like to see re-implemented
  with a notifier, and to address bug reports against the badblocks
  integration.

  There is pending feedback against "libnvdimm: Add a poison list and
  export badblocks" received last week.  Linda identified some localized
  fixups that we will handle incrementally.

  Summary:

   - Media error handling: The 'badblocks' implementation that
     originated in md-raid is up-levelled to a generic capability of a
     block device.  This initial implementation is limited to being
     consulted in the pmem block-i/o path.  Later, 'badblocks' will be
     consulted when creating dax mappings.

   - Raw block device dax: For virtualization and other cases that want
     large contiguous mappings of persistent memory, add the capability
     to dax-mmap a block device directly.

   - Increased /dev/mem restrictions: Add an option to treat all
     io-memory as IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE, i.e. disable /dev/mem access
     while a driver is actively using an address range.  This behavior
     is controlled via the new CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM option and can be
     overridden by the existing "iomem=relaxed" kernel command line
     option.

   - Miscellaneous fixes include a 'pfn'-device huge page alignment fix,
     block device shutdown crash fix, and other small libnvdimm fixes"

If an application wants exclusive access to all of the persistent memory
provided by an NVDIMM namespace it can use this raw-block-dax facility
to forgo establishing a filesystem.  This capability is targeted
primarily to hypervisors wanting to provision persistent memory for
guests.  It can be disabled / enabled dynamically via the new BLKDAXSET
ioctl.

<title>fs: clean up the flags definition in uapi/linux/fs.h</title>

Add an explanation for the flags used by FS_IOC_[GS]ETFLAGS and remind
people that changes should be revised by linux-fsdevel and linux-api.

Add flags that are used on-disk for ext4, and remove FS_DIRECTIO_FL
since it was used only by gfs2 and support was removed in 2008 in
commit c9f6a6bbc28 ("The ability to mark files for direct i/o access
when opened normally is both unused and pointless, so this patch
removes support for that feature.")  Now we have _two_ remaining flags
left.  But since we want to discourage people from assigning new
flags, that's OK.
