Pull fuse updates from Miklos Szeredi:
 "This is the start of improving fuse scalability.

  An input queue and a processing queue is split out from the monolithic
  fuse connection, each of those having their own spinlock.  The end of
  the patchset adds the ability to clone a fuse connection.  This means,
  that instead of having to read/write requests/answers on a single fuse
  device fd, the fuse daemon can have multiple distinct file descriptors
  open.  Each of those can be used to receive requests and send answers,
  currently the only constraint is that a request must be answered on
  the same fd as it was read from.

  This can be extended further to allow binding a device clone to a
  specific CPU or NUMA node.

  Based on a patchset by Srinivas Eeda and Ashish Samant.  Thanks to
  Ashish for the review of this series"

Use flags for representing the state in fuse_req.  This is needed since
req-&gt;list will be protected by different locks in different states, hence
we'll want the state itself to be split into distinct bits, each protected
with the relevant lock in that state.

FUSE_REQ_INIT is actually the same state as FUSE_REQ_PENDING and
FUSE_REQ_READING and FUSE_REQ_WRITING can be merged into a common

Finer grained locking will mean there's no single lock to protect
modification of bitfileds in fuse_req.

So move to using bitops.  Can use the non-atomic variants for those which
happen while the request definitely has only one reference.

file_remove_suid() is a misnomer since it removes also file capabilities
stored in xattrs and sets S_NOSEC flag. Also should_remove_suid() tells
something else than whether file_remove_suid() call is necessary which
leads to bugs.

<title>writeback: move backing_dev_info-&gt;bdi_stat[] into bdi_writeback</title>

<id>93f78d882865cb90020d0f80a9523c99cf46924c</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, a bdi (backing_dev_info) embeds single wb (bdi_writeback)
and the role of the separation is unclear.  For cgroup support for
writeback IOs, a bdi will be updated to host multiple wb's where each
wb serves writeback IOs of a different cgroup on the bdi.  To achieve
that, a wb should carry all states necessary for servicing writeback
IOs for a cgroup independently.

This patch moves bdi-&gt;bdi_stat[] into wb.

* enum bdi_stat_item is renamed to wb_stat_item and the prefix of all
  enums is changed from BDI_ to WB_.

* BDI_STAT_BATCH() -&gt; WB_STAT_BATCH()

* [__]{add|inc|dec|sum}_wb_stat(bdi, ...) -&gt; [__]{add|inc}_wb_stat(wb, ...)

* bdi_stat[_error]() -&gt; wb_stat[_error]()

* bdi_writeout_inc() -&gt; wb_writeout_inc()

* stat init is moved to bdi_wb_init() and bdi_wb_exit() is added and
  frees stat.

* As there's still only one bdi_writeback per backing_dev_info, all
  uses of bdi-&gt;stat[] are mechanically replaced with bdi-&gt;wb.stat[]
  introducing no behavior changes.
