Pull ext4 bugfixes from Ted Ts'o:
 "These changes contains a fix for overlayfs interacting with some
  (badly behaved) dentry code in various file systems.  These have been
  reviewed by Al and the respective file system mtinainers and are going
  through the ext4 tree for convenience.

  This also has a few ext4 encryption bug fixes that were discovered in
  Android testing (yes, we will need to get these sync'ed up with the
  fs/crypto code; I'll take care of that).  It also has some bug fixes
  and a change to ignore the legacy quota options to allow for xfstests
  regression testing of ext4's internal quota feature and to be more
  consistent with how xfs handles this case"

  ext4: ignore quota mount options if the quota feature is enabled

<title>mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros</title>

<content type='text'>
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

This promise never materialized.  And unlikely will.

We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE.  And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.

Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.

Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special.  They are
not.

The changes are pretty straight-forward:

 - &lt;foo&gt; &lt;&lt; (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -&gt; &lt;foo&gt;;

 - &lt;foo&gt; &gt;&gt; (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -&gt; &lt;foo&gt;;

 - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -&gt; PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

 - page_cache_get() -&gt; get_page();

 - page_cache_release() -&gt; put_page();

This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below.  For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.

The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.

There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach.  I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch.  Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

NFS may be used as lower layer of overlayfs and accessing f_path.dentry can
lead to a crash.

Fix by replacing direct access of file-&gt;f_path.dentry with the
file_dentry() accessor, which will always return a native object.

  from my for-next branch (including the SCSI layout commits).  Thanks

This actually includes the new layout types, so here's that part of
the pull message repeated:

 "Support for a new pnfs layout type from Christoph Hellwig.  The new
  layout type is a variant of the block layout which uses SCSI features
  to offer improved fencing and device identification.

  Note this pull request also includes the client side of SCSI layout,
  with Trond's permission"

<title>nfs/blocklayout: add SCSI layout support</title>

<id>d9186c03976506cde2c2b1219028bed449c948ed</id>
<content type='text'>
This is a trivial extension to the block layout driver to support the
new SCSI layouts draft.  There are three changes:

 - device identifcation through the SCSI VPD page.  This allows us to
   directly use the udev generated persistent device names instead of
   requiring an expensive lookup by crawling every block device node
   in /dev and reading a signature for it.
 - use of SCSI persistent reservations to protect device access and
   allow for robust fencing.  On the client sides this just means
   registering and unregistering a server supplied key.
 - an optimized LAYOUTCOMMIT payload that doesn't send unessecary
   fields to the server.

When the DS connection attempt fails, nfs4_ff_layout_prepare_ds marks it
for the error but then just returns the ds as if it were usable. The
comments though say:

  /* Upon return, either ds is connected, or ds is NULL */

Ensure that we set the return pointer to NULL in the event that the
connection attempt fails.
