Merge tag 'xfs-for-linus-4.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dgc/linux-xfs

Pull xfs updates from Dave Chinner:
 "There is nothing really major here - the only significant addition is
  the per-mount operation statistics infrastructure.  Otherwises there's
  various ACL, xattr, DAX, AIO and logging fixes, and a smattering of
  small cleanups and fixes elsewhere.

  Summary:

   - per-mount operational statistics in sysfs
   - fixes for concurrent aio append write submission
   - various logging fixes
   - detection of zeroed logs and invalid log sequence numbers on v5 filesystems
   - memory allocation failure message improvements
   - a bunch of xattr/ACL fixes
   - fdatasync optimisation
   - miscellaneous other fixes and cleanups"
