Pull vfs updates from Al Viro:

 - more -&gt;d_init() stuff (work.dcache)

 - pathname resolution cleanups (work.namei)

 - a few missing iov_iter primitives - copy_from_iter_full() and
   friends. Either copy the full requested amount, advance the iterator
   and return true, or fail, return false and do _not_ advance the
   iterator. Quite a few open-coded callers converted (and became more
   readable and harder to fuck up that way) (work.iov_iter)

 - several assorted patches, the big one being logfs removal

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  logfs: remove from tree
  vfs: fix put_compat_statfs64() does not handle errors
  namei: fold should_follow_link() with the step into not-followed link
  namei: pass both WALK_GET and WALK_MORE to should_follow_link()
  namei: invert WALK_PUT logics
  namei: shift interpretation of LOOKUP_FOLLOW inside should_follow_link()
  namei: saner calling conventions for mountpoint_last()
  namei.c: get rid of user_path_parent()
  switch getfrag callbacks to ..._full() primitives
  make skb_add_data,{_nocache}() and skb_copy_to_page_nocache() advance only on success
  [iov_iter] new primitives - copy_from_iter_full() and friends
  don't open-code file_inode()
  ceph: switch to use of -&gt;d_init()
  ceph: unify dentry_operations instances
  lustre: switch to use of -&gt;d_init()

<title>vringh: kill off ACCESS_ONCE()</title>

Despite living under drivers/ vringh.c is also used as part of the userspace
virtio tools. Before we can kill off the ACCESS_ONCE()definition in the tools,
we must convert vringh.c to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE().

This patch does so, along with the required include of &lt;linux/compiler.h&gt; for
the relevant definitions. The userspace tools provide their own definitions in
their own &lt;linux/compiler.h&gt;.

When event index was enabled, we need to fetch used event from
userspace memory each time. This userspace fetch (with memory
barrier) could be saved sometime when 1) caching used event and 2)
if used event is ahead of new and old to new updating does not cross
it, we're sure there's no need to notify guest.

This will be useful for heavy tx load e.g guest pktgen test with Linux
driver shows ~3.5% improvement.

Several vhost functions were missing __user annotations
on pointers, causing sparse warnings. Fix this up.

sparse also warns about vhost_process_iotlb_msg which
is local and should be static. Fix that up as well.

    115 files changed, 673 insertions(+), 1522 deletions(-)

  The main changes were:

   - Rework and generalize the mutex code to remove per arch mutex
     primitives. (Peter Zijlstra)

   - Add vCPU preemption support: add an interface to query the
     preemption status of vCPUs and use it in locking primitives - this
     optimizes paravirt performance. (Pan Xinhui, Juergen Gross,
     Christian Borntraeger)

   - Introduce cpu_relax_yield() and remov cpu_relax_lowlatency() to
     clean up and improve the s390 lock yielding machinery and its core
     kernel impact. (Christian Borntraeger)

   - Micro-optimize mutexes some more. (Waiman Long)

   - Reluctantly add the to-be-deprecated mutex_trylock_recursive()
     interface on a temporary basis, to give the DRM code more time to
     get rid of its locking hacks. Any other users will be NAK-ed on
     sight. (We turned off the deprecation warning for the time being to
     not pollute the build log.) (Peter Zijlstra)

   - Improve the rtmutex code a bit, in light of recent long lived
     bugs/races. (Thomas Gleixner)

   - Misc fixes, cleanups"
