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"

HPFS needs to load 4 consecutive 512-byte sectors when accessing the
directory nodes or bitmaps. We can't switch to 2048-byte block size
because files are allocated in the units of 512-byte sectors.
Previously, the driver would allocate a 2048-byte area using kmalloc,
copy the data from four buffers to this area and eventually copy them
back if they were modified.
In the current implementation of the buffer cache, buffers are allocated
in the pagecache. That means that 4 consecutive 512-byte buffers are
stored in consecutive areas in the kernel address space. So, we don't
need to allocate extra memory and copy the content of the buffers there.
This patch optimizes the code to avoid copying the buffers. It checks
if the four buffers are stored in contiguous memory - if they are not,
it falls back to allocating a 2048-byte area and copying data there.

Previously, hpfs scanned all bitmaps each time the user asked for free
space using statfs. This patch changes it so that hpfs scans the
bitmaps only once, remembes the free space and on next invocation of
statfs it returns the value instantly.
New versions of wine are hammering on the statfs syscall very heavily,
making some games unplayable when they're stored on hpfs, with load
times in minutes.
This should be backported to the stable kernels because it fixes
user-visible problem (excessive level load times in wine).

Merge hpfs patches from Mikulas Patocka.
* emailed patches from Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@artax.karlin.mff.cuni.cz>:
hpfs: implement prefetch to improve performance
hpfs: use mpage
hpfs: better test for errors
This patch implements prefetch to improve performance. It helps mostly
when scanning the bitmaps to calculate free space.

The test if bitmap access is out of bound could errorneously pass if the
device size is divisible by 16384 sectors and we are asking for one bitmap
after the end.
Check for invalid size in the superblock. Invalid size could cause integer
overflows in the rest of the code.

Instances either don't look at it at all (the majority of cases) or
only want it to find the superblock (which can be had as dentry->d_sb).
A few cases that want more are actually safe with dentry->d_inode -
the only precaution needed is the check that it hadn't been replaced with
NULL by rmdir() or by overwriting rename(), which case should be simply
treated as cache miss.

For one thing, there's an ABBA deadlock on hpfs fs-wide lock and i_mutex
in hpfs_dir_lseek() - there's a lot of methods that grab the former with
the caller already holding the latter, so it must take i_mutex first.
For another, locking the damn thing, carefully validating the offset,
then dropping locks and assigning the offset is obviously racy.
Moreover, we _must_ do hpfs_add_pos(), or the machinery in dnode.c
won't modify the sucker on B-tree surgeries.

Somehow I failed to add the MODULE_ALIAS_FS for cifs, hostfs, hpfs,
squashfs, and udf despite what I thought were my careful checks :(
Add them now.

Pull vfs pile (part one) from Al Viro:
"Assorted stuff - cleaning namei.c up a bit, fixing ->d_name/->d_parent
locking violations, etc.
The most visible changes here are death of FS_REVAL_DOT (replaced with
"has ->d_weak_revalidate()") and a new helper getting from struct file
to inode. Some bits of preparation to xattr method interface changes.
Misc patches by various people sent this cycle *and* ocfs2 fixes from
several cycles ago that should've been upstream right then.
PS: the next vfs pile will be xattr stuff."
