Merge tag 'xfs-for-linus-4.1-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dgc/linux-xfs
Pull xfs update from Dave Chinner: "This update contains: - RENAME_WHITEOUT support - conversion of per-cpu superblock accounting to use generic counters - new inode mmap lock so that we can lock page faults out of truncate, hole punch and other direct extent manipulation functions to avoid racing mmap writes from causing data corruption - rework of direct IO submission and completion to solve data corruption issue when running concurrent extending DIO writes. Also solves problem of running IO completion transactions in interrupt context during size extending AIO writes. - FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE support for inserting holes into a file via direct extent manipulation to avoid needing to copy data within the file - attribute block header field overflow fix for 64k block size filesystems - Lots of changes to log messaging to be more informative and concise when errors occur. Also prevent a lot of unnecessary log spamming due to cascading failures in error conditions. - lots of cleanups and bug fixes One thing of note is the direct IO fixes that we merged last week after the window opened. Even though a little late, they fix a user reported data corruption and have been pretty well tested. I figured there was not much point waiting another 2 weeks for -rc1 to be released just so I could send them to you..." * tag 'xfs-for-linus-4.1-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dgc/linux-xfs: (49 commits) xfs: using generic_file_direct_write() is unnecessary xfs: direct IO EOF zeroing needs to drain AIO xfs: DIO write completion size updates race xfs: DIO writes within EOF don't need an ioend xfs: handle DIO overwrite EOF update completion correctly xfs: DIO needs an ioend for writes xfs: move DIO mapping size calculation xfs: factor DIO write mapping from get_blocks xfs: unlock i_mutex in xfs_break_layouts xfs: kill unnecessary firstused overflow check on attr3 leaf removal xfs: use larger in-core attr firstused field and detect overflow xfs: pass attr geometry to attr leaf header conversion functions xfs: disallow ro->rw remount on norecovery mount xfs: xfs_shift_file_space can be static xfs: Add support FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE for fallocate fs: Add support FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE for fallocate xfs: Fix incorrect positive ENOMEM return xfs: xfs_mru_cache_insert() should use GFP_NOFS xfs: %pF is only for function pointers xfs: fix shadow warning in xfs_da3_root_split() ...

#define FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE 0x10
+/*
+ * FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE is use to insert space within the file size without
+ * overwriting any existing data. The contents of the file beyond offset are
+ * shifted towards right by len bytes to create a hole. As such, this
+ * operation will increase the size of the file by len bytes.
+ *
+ * Different filesystems may implement different limitations on the granularity
+ * of the operation. Most will limit operations to filesystem block size
+ * boundaries, but this boundary may be larger or smaller depending on
+ * the filesystem and/or the configuration of the filesystem or file.
+ *
+ * Attempting to insert space using this flag at OR beyond the end of
+ * the file is considered an illegal operation - just use ftruncate(2) or
+ * fallocate(2) with mode 0 for such type of operations.
