Pull second vfs pile from Al Viro:
 "The stuff in there: fsfreeze deadlock fixes by Jan (essentially, the
  deadlock reproduced by xfstests 068), symlink and hardlink restriction
  patches, plus assorted cleanups and fixes.

  Note that another fsfreeze deadlock (emergency thaw one) is *not*
  dealt with - the series by Fernando conflicts a lot with Jan's, breaks
  userland ABI (FIFREEZE semantics gets changed) and trades the deadlock
  for massive vfsmount leak; this is going to be handled next cycle.
  There probably will be another pull request, but that stuff won't be

It is unexpected to block reading of frozen filesystem because of atime update.
Also handling blocking on frozen filesystem because of atime update would make
locking more complex than it already is. So just skip atime update when
filesystem is frozen like we skip it when filesystem is remounted read-only.

Most of places where we want freeze protection coincides with the places where
we also have remount-ro protection. So make mnt_want_write() and
mnt_drop_write() (and their _file alternative) prevent freezing as well.
For the few cases that are really interested only in remount-ro protection
provide new function variants.

Pull large btrfs update from Chris Mason:
 "This pull request is very large, and the two main features in here
  have been under testing/devel for quite a while.

  We have subvolume quotas from the strato developers.  This enables
  full tracking of how many blocks are allocated to each subvolume (and
  all snapshots) and you can set limits on a per-subvolume basis.  You
  can also create quota groups and toss multiple subvolumes into a big
  group.  It's everything you need to be a web hosting company and give
  each user their own subvolume.

  The userland side of the quotas is being refreshed, they'll send out
  details on where to grab it soon.

  Next is the kernel side of btrfs send/receive from Alexander Block.
  This leverages the same infrastructure as the quota code to figure out
  relationships between blocks and their owners.  It can then compute
  the difference between two snapshots and sends the diffs in a neutral
  format into userland.

  The basic model:

        create a snapshot
        send that snapshot as the initial backup
        make changes
        create a second snapshot
        send the incremental as a backup
        delete the first snapshot
        (use the second snapshot for the next incremental)

  The receive portion is all in userland, and in the 'next' branch of my
  btrfs-progs repo.

  There's still some work to do in terms of optimizing the send side
  from kernel to userland.  The really important part is figuring out
  how two snapshots are different, and this is where we are
  concentrating right now.  The initial send of a dataset is a little
  slower than tar, but the incremental sends are dramatically faster
  than what rsync can do.

  On top of all of that, we have a nice queue of fixes, cleanups and
  optimizations."

Fix up trivial modify/del conflict in fs/btrfs/ioctl.c

Also fix up semantic conflict in fs/btrfs/send.c: the interface to
dentry_open() changed in commit 765927b2d508 ("switch dentry_open() to
struct path, make it grab references itself"), and since it now grabs
whatever references it needs, we should no longer do the mntget() on the
mnt (and we need to dput() the dentry reference we took).

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mason/linux-btrfs: (65 commits)
  Btrfs: uninit variable fixes in send/receive
  Btrfs: introduce BTRFS_IOC_SEND for btrfs send/receive
  Btrfs: add btrfs_compare_trees function
  Btrfs: introduce subvol uuids and times

  Btrfs: lock the transition from dirty to writeback for an eb

  Btrfs: suppress printk() if all device I/O stats are zero
  Btrfs: remove unwanted printk() for btrfs device I/O stats

Before the update_time inode operation was indroduced, it was
not possible to prevent updates of atime on RO subvolumes. VFS
was only able to check for RO on the mount, but did not know
anything about btrfs subvolumes.

btrfs_update_time does now check if the root is RO and skip
updating of times.

Btrfs has to make sure we have space to allocate new blocks in order to modify
the inode, so updating time can fail.  We've gotten around this by having our
own file_update_time but this is kind of a pain, and Christoph has indicated he
would like to make xfs do something different with atime updates.  So introduce
-&gt;update_time, where we will deal with i_version an a/m/c time updates and
indicate which changes need to be made.  The normal version just does what it
has always done, updates the time and marks the inode dirty, and then
filesystems can choose to do something different.

I've gone through all of the users of file_update_time and made them check for
errors with the exception of the fault code since it's complicated and I wasn't
quite sure what to do there, also Jan is going to be pushing the file time
updates into page_mkwrite for those who have it so that should satisfy btrfs and
make it not a big deal to check the file_update_time() return code in the
generic fault path. Thanks,

Use the same mechanism as the block devices are using, but move the
helper functions from fs/direct-io.c into fs/inode.c to remove the
dependency on CONFIG_BLOCK.

file_remove_suid() is a generic function operates on struct file,
it almost has no relations with file mapping, so move it to fs/inode.c.
