hfs_bmap_free() frees the node via hfs_bnode_put(node).  However, it
then reads node-&gt;this when dumping error message on an error path, which
may result in a use-after-free bug.  This patch frees the node only when
it is never again used.

Currently extent and index i are both being incremented causing an array
out of bounds read on extent[i].  Fix this by removing the extraneous
increment of extent.

The vfs takes care of updating mtime on ftruncate(), but on truncate() it
must be done by the module.

Direct writes to empty inodes fail with EIO.  The generic direct-io code
is in part to blame (a patch has been submitted as "direct-io: allow
direct writes to empty inodes"), but hfs is worse affected than the other
filesystems because the fallback to buffered I/O doesn't happen.

The problem is the return value of hfs_get_block() when called with
!create.  Change it to be more consistent with the other modules.

<title>hfs: prevent btree data loss on ENOSPC</title>

Inserting a new record in a btree may require splitting several of its
nodes.  If we hit ENOSPC halfway through, the new nodes will be left
orphaned and their records will be lost.  This could mean lost inodes or
extents.

Henceforth, check the available disk space before making any changes.
This still leaves the potential problem of corruption on ENOMEM.

There is no need to reserve space before deleting a catalog record, as we
do for hfsplus.  This difference is because hfs index nodes have fixed
length keys.

<title>hfs: fix BUG on bnode parent update</title>

hfs_brec_update_parent() may hit BUG_ON() if the first record of both a
leaf node and its parent are changed, and if this forces the parent to
be split.  It is not possible for this to happen on a valid hfs
filesystem because the index nodes have fixed length keys.

For reasons I ignore, the hfs module does have support for a number of
hfsplus features.  A corrupt btree header may report variable length
keys and trigger this BUG, so it's better to fix it.

Pull inode timestamps conversion to timespec64 from Arnd Bergmann:
 "This is a late set of changes from Deepa Dinamani doing an automated
  treewide conversion of the inode and iattr structures from 'timespec'
  to 'timespec64', to push the conversion from the VFS layer into the
  individual file systems.

  As Deepa writes:

   'The series aims to switch vfs timestamps to use struct timespec64.
    Currently vfs uses struct timespec, which is not y2038 safe.

    The series involves the following:
    1. Add vfs helper functions for supporting struct timepec64
       timestamps.
    2. Cast prints of vfs timestamps to avoid warnings after the switch.
    3. Simplify code using vfs timestamps so that the actual replacement
       becomes easy.
    4. Convert vfs timestamps to use struct timespec64 using a script.
       This is a flag day patch.

    Next steps:
    1. Convert APIs that can handle timespec64, instead of converting
       timestamps at the boundaries.
    2. Update internal data structures to avoid timestamp conversions'

  Thomas Gleixner adds:

   'I think there is no point to drag that out for the next merge
    window. The whole thing needs to be done in one go for the core
    changes which means that you're going to play that catchup game
    forever. Let's get over with it towards the end of the merge window'"

* tag 'vfs-timespec64' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/playground:
  pstore: Remove bogus format string definition
  vfs: change inode times to use struct timespec64
  pstore: Convert internal records to timespec64
  udf: Simplify calls to udf_disk_stamp_to_time
  fs: nfs: get rid of memcpys for inode times
  ceph: make inode time prints to be long long
  lustre: Use long long type to print inode time
  fs: add timespec64_truncate()
