Pull more vfs updates from Al Viro:
 "Assorted VFS fixes and related cleanups (IMO the most interesting in
  that part are f_path-related things and Eric's descriptor-related
  stuff).  UFS regression fixes (it got broken last cycle).  9P fixes.
  fs-cache series, DAX patches, Jan's file_remove_suid() work"

[ I'd say this is much more than "fixes and related cleanups".  The
  file_table locking rule change by Eric Dumazet is a rather big and
  fundamental update even if the patch isn't huge.   - Linus ]

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (49 commits)
  9p: cope with bogus responses from server in p9_client_{read,write}
  p9_client_write(): avoid double p9_free_req()
  9p: forgetting to cancel request on interrupted zero-copy RPC
  dax: bdev_direct_access() may sleep
  block: Add support for DAX reads/writes to block devices
  dax: Use copy_from_iter_nocache
  dax: Add block size note to documentation
  fs/file.c: __fget() and dup2() atomicity rules
  fs/file.c: don't acquire files-&gt;file_lock in fd_install()

<title>mm: do not ignore mapping_gfp_mask in page cache allocation paths</title>

<content type='text'>
page_cache_read, do_generic_file_read, __generic_file_splice_read and
__ntfs_grab_cache_pages currently ignore mapping_gfp_mask when calling
add_to_page_cache_lru which might cause recursion into fs down in the
direct reclaim path if the mapping really relies on GFP_NOFS semantic.

This doesn't seem to be the case now because page_cache_read (page fault
path) doesn't seem to suffer from the reclaim recursion issues and
do_generic_file_read and __generic_file_splice_read also shouldn't be
called under fs locks which would deadlock in the reclaim path.  Anyway it
is better to obey mapping gfp mask and prevent from later breakage.

file_remove_suid() is a misnomer since it removes also file capabilities
stored in xattrs and sets S_NOSEC flag. Also should_remove_suid() tells
something else than whether file_remove_suid() call is necessary which
leads to bugs.

Also do a #include diet for aio.h while we're at it.
