Pull ceph updates from Sage Weil:
 "The big item here is support for inline data for CephFS and for
  message signatures from Zheng.  There are also several bug fixes,
  including interrupted flock request handling, 0-length xattrs, mksnap,
  cached readdir results, and a message version compat field.  Finally
  there are several cleanups from Ilya, Dan, and Markus.

  Note that there is another series coming soon that fixes some bugs in
  the RBD 'lingering' requests, but it isn't quite ready yet"

rbd: don't treat CEPH_OSD_OP_DELETE as extent op

2014-12-17T17:09:51+00:00

CEPH_OSD_OP_DELETE is not an extent op, stop treating it as such.  This
sneaked in with discard patches - it's one of the three osd ops (the
other two are CEPH_OSD_OP_TRUNCATE and CEPH_OSD_OP_ZERO) that discard
is implemented with.

ceph, rbd: delete unnecessary checks before two function calls

2014-12-17T17:09:50+00:00

The functions ceph_put_snap_context() and iput() test whether their
argument is NULL and then return immediately. Thus the test around the
call is not needed.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

2014-12-15T00:10:09+00:00

Pull driver core update from Greg KH:
 "Here's the set of driver core patches for 3.19-rc1.

  They are dominated by the removal of the .owner field in platform
  drivers.  They touch a lot of files, but they are "simple" changes,
  just removing a line in a structure.

  Other than that, a few minor driver core and debugfs changes.  There
  are some ath9k patches coming in through this tree that have been
  acked by the wireless maintainers as they relied on the debugfs
  changes.

  Everything has been in linux-next for a while"

Pull block driver core update from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the pull request for the core block IO changes for 3.19.  Not
  a huge round this time, mostly lots of little good fixes:

   - Fix a bug in sysfs blktrace interface causing a NULL pointer
     dereference, when enabled/disabled through that API.  From Arianna
     Avanzini.

   - Various updates/fixes/improvements for blk-mq:

        - A set of updates from Bart, mostly fixing buts in the tag
          handling.

        - Cleanup/code consolidation from Christoph.

        - Extend queue_rq API to be able to handle batching issues of IO
          requests. NVMe will utilize this shortly. From me.

        - A few tag and request handling updates from me.

        - Cleanup of the preempt handling for running queues from Paolo.

        - Prevent running of unmapped hardware queues from Ming Lei.

        - Move the kdump memory limiting check to be in the correct
          location, from Shaohua.

        - Initialize all software queues at init time from Takashi. This
          prevents a kobject warning when CPUs are brought online that
          weren't online when a queue was registered.

   - Single writeback fix for I_DIRTY clearing from Tejun.  Queued with
     the core IO changes, since it's just a single fix.

   - Version X of the __bio_add_page() segment addition retry from
     Maurizio.  Hope the Xth time is the charm.

   - Documentation fixup for IO scheduler merging from Jan.

   - Introduce (and use) generic IO stat accounting helpers for non-rq
     drivers, from Gu Zheng.

   - Kill off artificial limiting of max sectors in a request from
     Christoph"

zram: use DEVICE_ATTR_[RW|RO|WO] to define zram sys device attribute

2014-12-13T20:42:50+00:00

In current zram, we use DEVICE_ATTR() to define sys device attributes.
SO, we need to set (S_IRUGO | S_IWUSR) permission and other arguments
manually.  Linux already provids the macro DEVICE_ATTR_[RW|RO|WO] to
define sys device attribute.  It is simple and readable.

This patch uses kernel defined macro DEVICE_ATTR_[RW|RO|WO] to define
zram device attribute.

mm/zram: correct ZRAM_ZERO flag bit position

2014-12-13T20:42:50+00:00

In struct zram_table_entry, the element *value* contains obj size and obj
zram flags.  Bit 0 to bit (ZRAM_FLAG_SHIFT - 1) represent obj size, and
bit ZRAM_FLAG_SHIFT to the highest bit of unsigned long represent obj
zram_flags.  So the first zram flag(ZRAM_ZERO) should be from
ZRAM_FLAG_SHIFT instead of (ZRAM_FLAG_SHIFT + 1).

This patch fixes this cosmetic issue.

Also fix a typo, "page in now accessed" -> "page is now accessed"

zram: implement rw_page operation of zram

2014-12-13T20:42:50+00:00

This patch implements rw_page operation for zram block device.

I implemented the feature in zram and tested it.  Test bed was the G2, LG
electronic mobile device, whtich has msm8974 processor and 2GB memory.

With a memory allocation test program consuming memory, the system
generates swap.

Operating time of swap_write_page() was measured.

--------------------------------------------------
|             |   operating time   | improvement |
|             |  (20 runs average) |             |
--------------------------------------------------
|with patch   |    1061.15 us      |    +2.4%    |
--------------------------------------------------
|without patch|    1087.35 us      |             |
--------------------------------------------------

Each test(with paged_io,with BIO) result set shows normal distribution and
has equal variance.  I mean the two values are valid result to compare.  I
can say operation with paged I/O(without BIO) is faster 2.4% with
confidence level 95%.
