cedabed49b ("vfs: Fix vmtruncate() regression").  Let's drop it.

Dave Chinner 1ab6c4997e fs: convert fs shrinkers to new scan/count API
Convert the filesystem shrinkers to use the new API, and standardise some
of the behaviours of the shrinkers at the same time.  For example,
nr_to_scan means the number of objects to scan, not the number of objects
to free.

I refactored the CIFS idmap shrinker a little - it really needs to be
broken up into a shrinker per tree and keep an item count with the tree
root so that we don't need to walk the tree every time the shrinker needs
to count the number of objects in the tree (i.e.  all the time under
memory pressure).

[glommer@openvz.org: fixes for ext4, ubifs, nfs, cifs and glock. Fixes are needed mainly due to new code merged in the tree]

Glauber Costa 55f841ce93 super: fix calculation of shrinkable objects for small numbers
The sysctl knob sysctl_vfs_cache_pressure is used to determine which
percentage of the shrinkable objects in our cache we should actively try
to shrink.

It works great in situations in which we have many objects (at least more
than 100), because the aproximation errors will be negligible.  But if
this is not the case, specially when total_objects < 100, we may end up
concluding that we have no objects at all (total / 100 = 0, if total <
100).

This is certainly not the biggest killer in the world, but may matter in
very low kernel memory situations.

  The removal of an unused memory barrier is a clean up from Bob

Benjamin Marzinski 0c9018097f GFS2: dirty inode correctly in gfs2_write_end
GFS2 was only setting I_DIRTY_DATASYNC on files that it wrote to, when
it actually increased the file size.  If gfs2_fsync was called without
I_DIRTY_DATASYNC set, it didn't flush the incore data to the log before
returning, so any metadata or journaled data changes were not getting
fsynced. This meant that writes to the middle of files were not always
getting fsynced properly.

This patch makes gfs2 set I_DIRTY_DATASYNC whenever metadata has been
updated during a write. It also make gfs2_sync flush the incore log
if I_DIRTY_PAGES is set, and the file is using data journalling. This
will make sure that all incore logged data gets written to disk before
returning from a fsync.

Steven Whitehouse 7286b31eab GFS2: Take glock reference in examine_bucket()
We need to check the glock ref counter in a race free way
in order to ensure that the gfs2_glock_hold() call will
succeed. The easiest way to do that is to simply take the
reference count early in the common code of examine_bucket,
skipping any glocks with zero ref count.

That means that the examiner functions all need to put their
reference on the glock once they've performed their function.

Benjamin Marzinski 1bc333f4cf GFS2: don't overrun reserved revokes
When run during fsync, a gfs2_log_flush could happen between the
time when gfs2_ail_flush checked the number of blocks to revoke,
and when it actually started the transaction to do those revokes.
This occassionally caused it to need more revokes than it reserved,
causing gfs2 to crash.

Instead of just reserving enough revokes to handle the blocks that
currently need them, this patch makes gfs2_ail_flush reserve the
maximum number of revokes it can, without increasing the total number
of reserved log blocks. This patch also passes the number of reserved
revokes to __gfs2_ail_flush() so that it doesn't go over its limit
and cause a crash like we're seeing. Non-fsync calls to __gfs2_ail_flush
will still cause a BUG() necessary revokes are skipped.

Pull ext4 update from Ted Ts'o:
 "Lots of bug fixes, cleanups and optimizations.  In the bug fixes
  category, of note is a fix for on-line resizing file systems where the
  block size is smaller than the page size (i.e., file systems 1k blocks
  on x86, or more interestingly file systems with 4k blocks on Power or
  ia64 systems.)

  In the cleanup category, the ext4's punch hole implementation was
  significantly improved by Lukas Czerner, and now supports bigalloc
  file systems.  In addition, Jan Kara significantly cleaned up the
  write submission code path.  We also improved error checking and added
  a few sanity checks.

  In the optimizations category, two major optimizations deserve
  mention.  The first is that ext4_writepages() is now used for
  nodelalloc and ext3 compatibility mode.  This allows writes to be
  submitted much more efficiently as a single bio request, instead of
  being sent as individual 4k writes into the block layer (which then
  relied on the elevator code to coalesce the requests in the block
  queue).  Secondly, the extent cache shrink mechanism, which was
  introduce in 3.9, no longer has a scalability bottleneck caused by the
  i_es_lru spinlock.  Other optimizations include some changes to reduce
  CPU usage and to avoid issuing empty commits unnecessarily."
