<content type='text'>
No one checks the return value of debugfs_create_u32(), as it's not
needed, so make the return value void, so that no one tries to do so in
the future.

Pull orangefs updates from Mike Marshall:
 "A fix and two cleanups.

  Fix:

   - Christoph Hellwig noticed that some logic I added to
     orangefs_file_read_iter introduced a race condition, so he sent a
     reversion patch. I had to modify his patch since reverting at this
     point broke Orangefs.

  Cleanups:

   - Christoph Hellwig noticed that we were doing some unnecessary work
     in orangefs_flush, so he sent in a patch that removed the un-needed
     code.

   - Al Viro told me he had trouble building Orangefs. Orangefs should
     be easy to build, even for Al :-).

     I looked back at the test server build notes in orangefs.txt, just
     in case that's where the trouble really is, and found a couple of
     typos and made a couple of clarifications"

Pull ceph updates from Ilya Dryomov:
 "The main items are:

   - support for asynchronous create and unlink (Jeff Layton).

     Creates and unlinks are satisfied locally, without waiting for a
     reply from the MDS, provided the client has been granted
     appropriate caps (new in v15.y.z ("Octopus") release). This can be
     a big help for metadata heavy workloads such as tar and rsync.
     Opt-in with the new nowsync mount option.

   - multiple blk-mq queues for rbd (Hannes Reinecke and myself).

     When the driver was converted to blk-mq, we settled on a single
     blk-mq queue because of a global lock in libceph and some other
     technical debt. These have since been addressed, so allocate a
     queue per CPU to enhance parallelism.

   - don't hold onto caps that aren't actually needed (Zheng Yan).

     This has been our long-standing behavior, but it causes issues with
     some active/standby applications (synchronous I/O, stalls if the
     standby goes down, etc).

   - .snap directory timestamps consistent with ceph-fuse (Luis
     Henriques)"

* tag 'ceph-for-5.7-rc1' of git://github.com/ceph/ceph-client: (49 commits)
  ceph: fix snapshot directory timestamps
  ceph: wait for async creating inode before requesting new max size

Regular files opened with O_NONBLOCK allow read to return after a single
round-trip with the server instead of trying to fill buffer.
Add a few lines in 9p documentation to describe that.
