Pul xfs updates from Dave Chinner:
 "There's a couple of small API changes to the core DAX code which
  required small changes to the ext2 and ext4 code bases, but otherwise
  everything is within the XFS codebase.

  This update contains:

   - A new sparse on-disk inode record format to allow small extents to
     be used for inode allocation when free space is fragmented.

   - DAX support.  This includes minor changes to the DAX core code to
     fix problems with lock ordering and bufferhead mapping abuse.

   - transaction commit interface cleanup

   - removal of various unnecessary XFS specific type definitions

   - cleanup and optimisation of freelist preparation before allocation

   - various minor cleanups

   - bug fixes for
	- transaction reservation leaks
	- incorrect inode logging in unwritten extent conversion
	- mmap lock vs freeze ordering
	- remote symlink mishandling
	- attribute fork removal issues"

<title>dax: don't abuse get_block mapping for endio callbacks</title>

dax_fault() currently relies on the get_block callback to attach an
io completion callback to the mapping buffer head so that it can
run unwritten extent conversion after zeroing allocated blocks.

Instead of this hack, pass the conversion callback directly into
dax_fault() similar to the get_block callback. When the filesystem
allocates unwritten extents, it will set the buffer_unwritten()
flag, and hence the dax_fault code can call the completion function
in the contexts where it is necessary without overloading the
mapping buffer head.

Note: The changes to ext4 to use this interface are suspect at best.
In fact, the way ext4 did this end_io assignment in the first place
looks suspect because it only set a completion callback when there
wasn't already some other write() call taking place on the same
inode. The ext4 end_io code looks rather intricate and fragile with
all it's reference counting and passing to different contexts for
modification via inode private pointers that aren't protected by
locks...

<title>ext4 crypto: reorganize how we store keys in the inode</title>

<id>b7236e21d55ff9008737621c84dd8ee6c37c7c6d</id>
<content type='text'>
This is a pretty massive patch which does a number of different things:

1) The per-inode encryption information is now stored in an allocated
   data structure, ext4_crypt_info, instead of directly in the node.
   This reduces the size usage of an in-memory inode when it is not
   using encryption.

2) We drop the ext4_fname_crypto_ctx entirely, and use the per-inode
   encryption structure instead.  This remove an unnecessary memory
   allocation and free for the fname_crypto_ctx as well as allowing us
   to reuse the ctfm in a directory for multiple lookups and file
   creations.

3) We also cache the inode's policy information in the ext4_crypt_info
   structure so we don't have to continually read it out of the
   extended attributes.

4) We now keep the keyring key in the inode's encryption structure
   instead of releasing it after we are done using it to derive the
   per-inode key.  This allows us to test to see if the key has been
   revoked; if it has, we prevent the use of the derived key and free
   it.

5) When an inode is released (or when the derived key is freed), we
   will use memset_explicit() to zero out the derived key, so it's not
   left hanging around in memory.  This implies that when a user logs
   out, it is important to first revoke the key, and then unlink it,
   and then finally, to use "echo 3 &gt; /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches" to
   release any decrypted pages and dcache entries from the system
   caches.

6) All this, and we also shrink the number of lines of code by around
   100.  :-)

The original dax patchset split the ext2/4_file_operations because of the
two NULL splice_read/splice_write in the dax case.

In the vfs if splice_read/splice_write are NULL we then call
default_splice_read/write.

What we do here is make generic_file_splice_read aware of IS_DAX() so the
original ext2/4_file_operations can be used as is.

For write it appears that iter_file_splice_write is just fine.  It uses
the regular f_op-&gt;write(file,..) or new_sync_write(file, ...).

[v1]
Without this patch, c/mtime is not updated correctly when mmap'ed page is
first read from and then written to.

A new xfstest is submitted for testing this (generic/080)

[v2]
Jan Kara has pointed out that if we add the
sb_start/end_pagefault pair in the new pfn_mkwrite we
are then fixing another bug where: A user could start
writing to the page while filesystem is frozen.
