Pull btrfs fixes from Chris Mason:
 "I have two more bug fixes for btrfs.

  My commit fixes a bug we hit last week at FB, a combination of lots of
  hard links and an admin command to resolve inode numbers.

  Dave is adding checks to make sure balance on current kernels ignores
  filters it doesn't understand.  The penalty for being wrong is just
  doing more work (not crashing etc), but it's a good fix"

The following two locking commits in the DAX code:

commit 843172978bb9 ("dax: fix race between simultaneous faults")
commit 46c043ede471 ("mm: take i_mmap_lock in unmap_mapping_range() for DAX")

introduced a number of deadlocks and other issues which need to be fixed
for the v4.3 kernel.  The list of issues in DAX after these commits
(some newly introduced by the commits, some preexisting) can be found
here:

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/9/25/602 (Subject: "Re: [PATCH] dax: fix deadlock in __dax_fault").

This undoes most of the changes introduced by those two commits,
essentially returning us to the DAX locking scheme that was used in
v4.2.

Commit 6afdb859b710 ("mm: do not ignore mapping_gfp_mask in page cache
allocation paths") has caught some users of hardcoded GFP_KERNEL used in
the page cache allocation paths.  This, however, wasn't complete and
there were others which went unnoticed.

Dave Chinner has reported the following deadlock for xfs on loop device:
: With the recent merge of the loop device changes, I'm now seeing
: XFS deadlock on my single CPU, 1GB RAM VM running xfs/073.
:
: The deadlocked is as follows:
:
: kloopd1: loop_queue_read_work
:       xfs_file_iter_read
:       lock XFS inode XFS_IOLOCK_SHARED (on image file)
:       page cache read (GFP_KERNEL)
:       radix tree alloc
:       memory reclaim
:       reclaim XFS inodes
:       log force to unpin inodes
:       &lt;wait for log IO completion&gt;
:
: xfs-cil/loop1: &lt;does log force IO work&gt;
:       xlog_cil_push
:       xlog_write
:       &lt;loop issuing log writes&gt;
:               xlog_state_get_iclog_space()
:               &lt;blocks due to all log buffers under write io&gt;
:               &lt;waits for IO completion&gt;
:
: kloopd1: loop_queue_write_work
:       xfs_file_write_iter
:       lock XFS inode XFS_IOLOCK_EXCL (on image file)
:       &lt;wait for inode to be unlocked&gt;
:
: i.e. the kloopd, with it's split read and write work queues, has
: introduced a dependency through memory reclaim. i.e. that writes
: need to be able to progress for reads make progress.
:
: The problem, fundamentally, is that mpage_readpages() does a
: GFP_KERNEL allocation, rather than paying attention to the inode's
: mapping gfp mask, which is set to GFP_NOFS.
:
: The didn't used to happen, because the loop device used to issue
: reads through the splice path and that does:
:
:       error = add_to_page_cache_lru(page, mapping, index,
:                       GFP_KERNEL &amp; mapping_gfp_mask(mapping));

This has changed by commit aa4d86163e4 ("block: loop: switch to VFS
ITER_BVEC").

This patch changes mpage_readpage{s} to follow gfp mask set for the
mapping.  There are, however, other places which are doing basically the
same.

lustre:ll_dir_filler is doing GFP_KERNEL from the function which
apparently uses GFP_NOFS for other allocations so let's make this
consistent.

cifs:readpages_get_pages is called from cifs_readpages and
__cifs_readpages_from_fscache called from the same path obeys mapping
gfp.

ramfs_nommu_expand_for_mapping is hardcoding GFP_KERNEL as well
regardless it uses mapping_gfp_mask for the page allocation.

ext4_mpage_readpages is the called from the page cache allocation path
same as read_pages and read_cache_pages

As I've noticed in my previous post I cannot say I would be happy about
sprinkling mapping_gfp_mask all over the place and it sounds like we
should drop gfp_mask argument altogether and use it internally in
__add_to_page_cache_locked that would require all the filesystems to use
mapping gfp consistently which I am not sure is the case here.  From a
quick glance it seems that some file system use it all the time while
others are selective.

The code for btrfs inode-resolve has never worked properly for
files with enough hard links to trigger extrefs.  It was trying to
get the leaf out of a path after freeing the path:

	btrfs_release_path(path);
	leaf = path-&gt;nodes[0];
	item_size = btrfs_item_size_nr(leaf, slot);

The fix here is to use the extent buffer we cloned just a little higher
up to avoid deadlocks caused by using the leaf in the path.

<title>btrfs: check unsupported filters in balance arguments</title>

We don't verify that all the balance filter arguments supplemented by
the flags are actually known to the kernel. Thus we let it silently pass
and do nothing.

At the moment this means only the 'limit' filter, but we're going to add
a few more soon so it's better to have that fixed. Also in older stable
kernels so that it works with newer userspace tools.

  possible cause of the behavior we've been seeing: commit 766c4cbfacd8"

Al Viro says:
 "What happens is that 766c4cbfacd8 got the things subtly wrong.

  We used to treat d_is_negative() after lookup_fast() as "fall with
  ENOENT".  That was wrong - checking -&gt;d_flags outside of -&gt;d_seq
  protection is unreliable and failing with hard error on what should've
  fallen back to non-RCU pathname resolution is a bug.

  Unfortunately, we'd pulled the test too far up and ran afoul of
  another kind of staleness.  The dentry might have been absolutely
  stable from the RCU point of view (and we might be on UP, etc), but
  stale from the remote fs point of view.  If -&gt;d_revalidate() returns
  "it's actually stale", dentry gets thrown away and the original code
  wouldn't even have looked at its -&gt;d_flags.

  What we need is to check -&gt;d_flags where 766c4cbfacd8 does (prior to
  -&gt;d_seq validation) but only use the result in cases where we do not
  discard this dentry outright"
