Use cmpxchg() to atomically set i_flags instead of clearing out the
S_IMMUTABLE, S_APPEND, etc. flags and then setting them from the
EXT4_IMMUTABLE_FL, EXT4_APPEND_FL flags, since this opens up a race
where an immutable file has the immutable flag cleared for a brief
window of time.

Pull xfs update from Ben Myers:
 "This is primarily bug fixes, many of which you already have.  New
  stuff includes a series to decouple the in-memory and on-disk log
  format, helpers in the area of inode clusters, and i_version handling.

  We decided to try to use more topic branches this release, so there
  are some merge commits in there on account of that.  I'm afraid I
  didn't do a good job of putting meaningful comments in the first
  couple of merges.  Sorry about that.  I think I have the hang of it
  now.

  For 3.14-rc1 there are fixes in the areas of remote attributes,
  discard, growfs, memory leaks in recovery, directory v2, quotas, the
  MAINTAINERS file, allocation alignment, extent list locking, and in
  xfs_bmapi_allocate.  There are cleanups in xfs_setsize_buftarg,
  removing unused macros, quotas, setattr, and freeing of inode
  clusters.  The in-memory and on-disk log format have been decoupled, a
  common helper to calculate the number of blocks in an inode cluster
  has been added, and handling of i_version has been pulled into the
  filesystems that use it.

   - cleanup in xfs_setsize_buftarg
   - removal of remaining unused flags for vop toss/flush/flushinval
   - fix for memory corruption in xfs_attrlist_by_handle
   - fix for out-of-date comment in xfs_trans_dqlockedjoin
   - fix for discard if range length is less than one block
   - fix for overrun of agfl buffer using growfs on v4 superblock
     filesystems
   - pull i_version handling out into the filesystems that use it
   - don't leak recovery items on error
   - fix for memory leak in xfs_dir2_node_removename
   - several cleanups for quotas
   - fix bad assertion in xfs_qm_vop_create_dqattach
   - cleanup for xfs_setattr_mode, and add xfs_setattr_time
   - fix quota assert in xfs_setattr_nonsize
   - fix an infinite loop when turning off group/project quota before
     user quota
   - fix for temporary buffer allocation failure in xfs_dir2_block_to_sf
     with large directory block sizes
   - fix Dave's email address in MAINTAINERS
   - cleanup calculation of freed inode cluster blocks
   - fix alignment of initial file allocations to match filesystem
     geometry
   - decouple in-memory and on-disk log format
   - introduce a common helper to calculate the number of filesystem
     blocks in an inode cluster
   - fixes for extent list locking
   - fix for off-by-one in xfs_attr3_rmt_verify
   - fix for missing destroy_work_on_stack in xfs_bmapi_allocate"

This is harmless, since ext4_walk_page_buffers only passes the handle
onto the callback function, and in this call site the function in
question, bput_one(), doesn't actually use the handle.  But there's no
point passing in an invalid handle, and it creates a Coverity warning,
so let's just clean it up.

After applied this commit (d23142c6), ext4 has supported punch hole for
a file system with bigalloc feature.  But we forgot to enable it.  This

<title>ext4: fix deadlock when writing in ENOSPC conditions</title>

Akira-san has been reporting rare deadlocks of his machine when running
xfstests test 269 on ext4 filesystem. The problem turned out to be in
ext4_da_reserve_metadata() and ext4_da_reserve_space() which called
ext4_should_retry_alloc() while holding i_data_sem. Since
ext4_should_retry_alloc() can force a transaction commit, this is a
lock ordering violation and leads to deadlocks.

Fix the problem by just removing the retry loops. These functions should
just report ENOSPC to the caller (e.g. ext4_da_write_begin()) and that
function must take care of retrying after dropping all necessary locks.

ext4_da_reserve_metadata() and ext4_da_reserve_space() which called
ext4_should_retry_alloc() while holding i_data_sem. Since
ext4_should_retry_alloc() can force a transaction commit, this is a
lock ordering violation and leads to deadlocks.

Fix the problem by just removing the retry loops. These functions should
just report ENOSPC to the caller (e.g. ext4_da_write_begin()) and that
function must take care of retrying after dropping all necessary locks.

Currently notify_change directly updates i_version for size updates,
which not only is counter to how all other fields are updated through
struct iattr, but also breaks XFS, which need inode updates to happen
under its own lock, and synchronized to the structure that gets written
to the log.

Remove the update in the common code, and it to btrfs and ext4,
XFS already does a proper updaste internally and currently gets a
double update with the existing code.

IMHO this is 3.13 and -stable material and should go in through the XFS
tree.
