Pull Ceph updates from Sage Weil:
 "There are several patches from Ilya fixing RBD allocation lifecycle
  issues, a series adding a nocephx_sign_messages option (and associated
  bug fixes/cleanups), several patches from Zheng improving the
  (directory) fsync behavior, a big improvement in IO for direct-io
  requests when striping is enabled from Caifeng, and several other
  small fixes and cleanups"

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sage/ceph-client:
  libceph: clear msg-&gt;con in ceph_msg_release() only
  libceph: add nocephx_sign_messages option
  libceph: stop duplicating client fields in messenger
  libceph: drop authorizer check from cephx msg signing routines

<title>mm, fs: introduce mapping_gfp_constraint()</title>

There are many places which use mapping_gfp_mask to restrict a more
generic gfp mask which would be used for allocations which are not
directly related to the page cache but they are performed in the same
context.

Let's introduce a helper function which makes the restriction explicit and
easier to track.  This patch doesn't introduce any functional changes.

We can use msg-&gt;con instead - at the point we sign an outgoing message
or check the signature on the incoming one, msg-&gt;con is always set.  We
wouldn't know how to sign a message without an associated session (i.e.
msg-&gt;con == NULL) and being able to sign a message using an explicitly
provided authorizer is of no use.

If we get a unsafe reply for request that created/modified inode,
add the unsafe request to a list in the newly created/modified
inode. So we can make fsync() wait these unsafe requests.

Previously we add request to i_unsafe_dirops when registering
request. So ceph_fsync() also waits for imcomplete requests.
This is unnecessary, ceph_fsync() only needs to wait unsafe
requests.

Both ceph_sync_direct_write and ceph_sync_read iterate iovec elements
one by one, send one OSD request for each iovec. This is sub-optimal,
We can combine serveral iovec into one page vector, and send an OSD
request for the whole page vector.

create_request_message() computes the maximum length of a message,
but uses the wrong type for the time stamp: sizeof(struct timespec)
may be 8 or 16 depending on the architecture, while sizeof(struct
ceph_timespec) is always 8, and that is what gets put into the
message.

Found while auditing the uses of timespec for y2038 problems.

locks API function, use the check within locks_lock_inode_wait().  This
