<title>NFSv4.1/pnfs: Separate out metadata and data consistency for pNFS</title>

<content type='text'>
The LAYOUTCOMMIT operation means different things to different layout types.
For blocks and objects, it is both a data and metadata consistency operation.
For files and flexfiles, it is only a metadata consistency operation.

This patch separates out the 2 cases, allowing the files/flexfiles layout
drivers to optimise away the data consistency calls to layoutcommit.

<title>NFSv4.1: Convert pNFS deviceid to use kfree_rcu()</title>

Use of synchronize_rcu() when unmounting and potentially freeing a lot
of deviceids is problematic. There really is no reason why we can't just
use kfree_rcu() here.

This is needed to support mirrored writes - the first write can't just
trash the lseg, we need to keep it around until all mirrors have
written.

Pull VFS changes from Al Viro:
 "First pile out of several (there _definitely_ will be more).  Stuff in
  this one:

   - unification of d_splice_alias()/d_materialize_unique()

   - iov_iter rewrite

   - killing a bunch of -&gt;f_path.dentry users (and f_dentry macro).

     Getting that completed will make life much simpler for
     unionmount/overlayfs, since then we'll be able to limit the places
     sensitive to file _dentry_ to reasonably few.  Which allows to have
     file_inode(file) pointing to inode in a covered layer, with dentry
     pointing to (negative) dentry in union one.

     Still not complete, but much closer now.

   - crapectomy in lustre (dead code removal, mostly)

   - "let's make seq_printf return nothing" preparations

   - assorted cleanups and fixes

  There _definitely_ will be more piles"

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (63 commits)
  copy_from_iter_nocache()
  new helper: iov_iter_kvec()
  csum_and_copy_..._iter()
  iov_iter.c: handle ITER_KVEC directly
  iov_iter.c: convert copy_to_iter() to iterate_and_advance

Use the number of pages in the pagecache mapping instead of the

Commit 3a6fd1f004fc (pnfs/blocklayout: remove read-modify-write handling
in bl_write_pagelist) introduced a bogus assignment pg_index = pg_index
in variable initialization. AFAICS it's just a typo so remove it.
