Linus Torvalds 29309a4eb8 We've got a total of 17 GFS2 patches for this merge window. The
patches are basically in three categories: (1) patches related to
 broken xfstest cases, (2) patches related to improving iomap and
 start using it in GFS2, and (3) general typos and clarifications.
 
 Please note that one of the iomap patches extends beyond GFS2 and
 affects other file systems, but it was publically reviewed by a
 variety of file system people in the community.
 
 1. Andreas has a patch that simply renames variable 'bsize' to 'factor'
    to clarify the logic related to gfs2_block_map.
 2. He also has a patch to correctly set ctime in the setflags ioctl,
    which fixes broken xfstests test 277.
 3. He also fixed broken xfstest 258, due to an atime initialization
    problem.
 4. He also fixed broken xfstest 307, in which GFS2 was not setting
    ctime when setting acls.
 5. He has a patch to switch general iomap code from blkno to disk
    offset for a variety of file systems.
 6. He has a patch to add a new IOMAP_F_DATA_INLINE flag for iomap
    to indicate blocks that have data mixed with metadata.
 7. I contributed a patch to make inode height info part of the
    'metapath' data structure to facilitate using iomap in GFS2.
 8. I have a patch to start using iomap inside GFS2 and switch GFS2's
    block_map functions to use iomap under the covers.
 9. I have a patch to switch GFS2's fiemap implementation from using
    block_map to using iomap under the covers.
 10. Andreas has a patch to implement SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA via
     iomap in GFS2.
 11. I have a patch related to journaled data pages not being properly
     synced to media when writing inodes. This was caught with xfstests.
 12. I have a patch to fix another failing xfstest case in which
     switching a file from ordered_write to journaled data via set_flags
     caused a deadlock.
 13. Andreas has a patch to fix failing xfstest case 066, which was
     due to not properly syncing dirty inodes when changing extended
     attributes.
 14. Andreas fixed a minor typo in a comment.
 15. Andreas contributed a patch to partially fix xfstest 424, which
     involved GET_FLAGS and SET_FLAGS ioctl. This is also a cleanup
     and simplification of the translation of flags from fs flags to
     gfs2 flags.
 16. He also added support for STATX_ATTR_ in statx, which fixed broken
     xfstest 424.
 17. He also contributed a fix for failing xfstest 093 which fixes a
     recursive glock problem with gfs2_xattr_get and _set.

  Please note that one of the iomap patches extends beyond GFS2 and

  From Andreas Gruenbacher:

   - rename variable 'bsize' to 'factor' to clarify the logic related to
     gfs2_block_map.

   - correctly set ctime in the setflags ioctl, which fixes broken
     xfstests test 277.

   - fix broken xfstest 258, due to an atime initialization problem.

   - fix broken xfstest 307, in which GFS2 was not setting ctime when

  From me:

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
