Pull NFS client updates from Trond Myklebust:
 "Highlights include:

  Stable bugfixes:
   - Fix use after free in write error path
   - Use GFP_NOIO for two allocations in writeback
   - Fix a hang in OPEN related to server reboot
   - Check the result of nfs4_pnfs_ds_connect
   - Fix an rcu lock leak

  Features:
   - Removal of the unmaintained and unused OSD pNFS layout
   - Cleanup and removal of lots of unnecessary dprintk()s
   - Cleanup and removal of some memory failure paths now that GFP_NOFS
     is guaranteed to never fail.
   - Remove the v3-only data server limitation on pNFS/flexfiles

  Bugfixes:
   - RPC/RDMA connection handling bugfixes
   - Copy offload: fixes to ensure the copied data is COMMITed to disk.
   - Readdir: switch back to using the -&gt;iterate VFS interface
   - File locking fixes from Ben Coddington
   - Various use-after-free and deadlock issues in pNFS
   - Write path bugfixes"

Pull overlayfs update from Miklos Szeredi:
 "The biggest part of this is making st_dev/st_ino on the overlay behave
  like a normal filesystem (i.e. st_ino doesn't change on copy up,
  st_dev is the same for all files and directories). Currently this only
  works if all layers are on the same filesystem, but future work will
  move the general case towards more sane behavior.

  There are also miscellaneous fixes, including fixes to handling
  append-only files. There's a small change in the VFS, but that only
  has an effect on overlayfs, since otherwise file-&gt;f_path.dentry-&gt;inode
  and file_inode(file) are always the same"

* 'overlayfs-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs:
  ovl: update documentation w.r.t. constant inode numbers
  ovl: persistent inode numbers for upper hardlinks

<title>fs: semove set but not checked AOP_FLAG_UNINTERRUPTIBLE flag</title>

Commit afddba49d18f ("fs: introduce write_begin, write_end, and
perform_write aops") introduced AOP_FLAG_UNINTERRUPTIBLE flag which was
checked in pagecache_write_begin(), but that check was removed by
4e02ed4b4a2f ("fs: remove prepare_write/commit_write").

Between these two commits, commit d9414774dc0c ("cifs: Convert cifs to
new aops.") added a check in cifs_write_begin(), but that check was soon
removed by commit a98ee8c1c707 ("[CIFS] fix regression in
cifs_write_begin/cifs_write_end").

Therefore, AOP_FLAG_UNINTERRUPTIBLE flag is checked nowhere.  Let's
remove this flag.  This patch has no functionality changes.

Show MADV_FREE pages info of each vma in smaps.  The interface is for
diganose or monitoring purpose, userspace could use it to understand
what happens in the application.  Since userspace could dirty MADV_FREE
pages without notice from kernel, this interface is the only place we
can get accurate accounting info about MADV_FREE pages.

Show MADV_FREE pages info of each vma in smaps.  The interface is for
diganose or monitoring purpose, userspace could use it to understand
what happens in the application.  Since userspace could dirty MADV_FREE
pages without notice from kernel, this interface is the only place we
can get accurate accounting info about MADV_FREE pages.

Pull livepatch updates from Jiri Kosina:

 - a per-task consistency model is being added for architectures that
   support reliable stack dumping (extending this, currently rather
   trivial set, is currently in the works).

   This extends the nature of the types of patches that can be applied
   by live patching infrastructure. The code stems from the design
   proposal made [1] back in November 2014. It's a hybrid of SUSE's
   kGraft and RH's kpatch, combining advantages of both: it uses
   kGraft's per-task consistency and syscall barrier switching combined
   with kpatch's stack trace switching. There are also a number of
   fallback options which make it quite flexible.

   Most of the heavy lifting done by Josh Poimboeuf with help from
   Miroslav Benes and Petr Mladek

 - module load time patch optimization from Zhou Chengming

 - a few assorted small fixes

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jikos/livepatching:
  livepatch: add missing printk newlines
  livepatch: Cancel transition a safe way for immediate patches
  livepatch: Reduce the time of finding module symbols
  livepatch: make klp_mutex proper part of API
  livepatch: allow removal of a disabled patch
  livepatch: add /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/patch_state
  livepatch: change to a per-task consistency model
  livepatch: store function sizes
  livepatch: use kstrtobool() in enabled_store()
  livepatch: move patching functions into patch.c
  livepatch: remove unnecessary object loaded check
  livepatch: separate enabled and patched states
  livepatch/s390: add TIF_PATCH_PENDING thread flag
  livepatch/s390: reorganize TIF thread flag bits
  livepatch/powerpc: add TIF_PATCH_PENDING thread flag
  livepatch/x86: add TIF_PATCH_PENDING thread flag
  livepatch: create temporary klp_update_patch_state() stub
  x86/entry: define _TIF_ALLWORK_MASK flags explicitly
  stacktrace/x86: add function for detecting reliable stack traces

Pull documentation update from Jonathan Corbet:
 "A reasonably busy cycle for documentation this time around. There is a
  new guide for user-space API documents, rather sparsely populated at
  the moment, but it's a start. Markus improved the infrastructure for
  converting diagrams. Mauro has converted much of the USB documentation
  over to RST. Plus the usual set of fixes, improvements, and tweaks.

  There's a bit more than the usual amount of reaching out of
  Documentation/ to fix comments elsewhere in the tree; I have acks for
  those where I could get them"
