Merge tag 'ext4_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4
Pull ext4 updates from Ted Ts'o: "Major changes for 3.14 include support for the newly added ZERO_RANGE and COLLAPSE_RANGE fallocate operations, and scalability improvements in the jbd2 layer and in xattr handling when the extended attributes spill over into an external block. Other than that, the usual clean ups and minor bug fixes" * tag 'ext4_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4: (42 commits) ext4: fix premature freeing of partial clusters split across leaf blocks ext4: remove unneeded test of ret variable ext4: fix comment typo ext4: make ext4_block_zero_page_range static ext4: atomically set inode->i_flags in ext4_set_inode_flags() ext4: optimize Hurd tests when reading/writing inodes ext4: kill i_version support for Hurd-castrated file systems ext4: each filesystem creates and uses its own mb_cache fs/mbcache.c: doucple the locking of local from global data fs/mbcache.c: change block and index hash chain to hlist_bl_node ext4: Introduce FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE flag for fallocate ext4: refactor ext4_fallocate code ext4: Update inode i_size after the preallocation ext4: fix partial cluster handling for bigalloc file systems ext4: delete path dealloc code in ext4_ext_handle_uninitialized_extents ext4: only call sync_filesystm() when remounting read-only fs: push sync_filesystem() down to the file system's remount_fs() jbd2: improve error messages for inconsistent journal heads jbd2: minimize region locked by j_list_lock in jbd2_journal_forget() jbd2: minimize region locked by j_list_lock in journal_get_create_access() ...

+ * Note: the caller should be holding i_mutex, or else be sure that

+ * inode is being instantiated). The reason for the cmpxchg() loop
+ * --- which wouldn't be necessary if all code paths which modify
+ * i_flags actually followed this rule, is that there is at least one
+ * code path which doesn't today --- for example,
+ * __generic_file_aio_write() calls file_remove_suid() without holding
+ * i_mutex --- so we use cmpxchg() out of an abundance of caution.
+ *
+ * In the long run, i_mutex is overkill, and we should probably look
+ * at using the i_lock spinlock to protect i_flags, and then make sure
+ * it is so documented in include/linux/fs.h and that all code follows
+ * the locking convention!!
