      Pull RDMA subsystem updates from Jason Gunthorpe:
 "Overall this cycle did not have any major excitement, and did not
  require any shared branch with netdev.

  Lots of driver updates, particularly of the scale-up and performance
  variety. The largest body of core work was Parav's patches fixing and
  restructing some of the core code to make way for future RDMA
  containerization.

  Summary:

   - misc small driver fixups to
     bnxt_re/hfi1/qib/hns/ocrdma/rdmavt/vmw_pvrdma/nes

   - several major feature adds to bnxt_re driver: SRIOV VF RoCE
     support, HugePages support, extended hardware stats support, and
     SRQ support

   - a notable number of fixes to the i40iw driver from debugging scale
     up testing

   - more work to enable the new hip08 chip in the hns driver

   - misc small ULP fixups to srp/srpt//ipoib

   - preparation for srp initiator and target to support the RDMA-CM
     protocol for connections

   - add RDMA-CM support to srp initiator, srp target is still a WIP

   - fixes for a couple of places where ipoib could spam the dmesg log

   - fix encode/decode of FDR/EDR data rates in the core

   - many patches from Parav with ongoing work to clean up
     inconsistencies and bugs in RoCE support around the rdma_cm

   - mlx5 driver support for the userspace features 'thread domain',
     'wallclock timestamps' and 'DV Direct Connected transport'. Support
     for the firmware dual port rocee capability

   - core support for more than 32 rdma devices in the char dev
     allocation

   - kernel doc updates from Randy Dunlap

   - new netlink uAPI for inspecting RDMA objects similar in spirit to 'ss'

   - one minor change to the kobject code acked by Greg KH"

      Merge tag 'for-4.16/dm-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:

 - DM core fixes to ensure that bio submission follows a depth-first
   tree walk; this is critical to allow forward progress without the
   need to use the bioset's BIOSET_NEED_RESCUER.

 - Remove DM core's BIOSET_NEED_RESCUER based dm_offload infrastructure.

 - DM core cleanups and improvements to make bio-based DM more efficient
   (e.g. reduced memory footprint as well leveraging per-bio-data more).

 - Introduce new bio-based mode (DM_TYPE_NVME_BIO_BASED) that leverages
   the more direct IO submission path in the block layer; this mode is
   used by DM multipath and also optimizes targets like DM thin-pool
   that stack directly on NVMe data device.

 - DM multipath improvements to factor out legacy SCSI-only (e.g.
   scsi_dh) code paths to allow for more optimized support for NVMe
   multipath.

 - A fix for DM multipath path selectors (service-time and queue-length)
   to select paths in a more balanced way; largely academic but doesn't
   hurt.

 - Numerous DM raid target fixes and improvements.

 - Add a new DM "unstriped" target that enables Intel to workaround
   firmware limitations in some NVMe drives that are striped internally
   (this target also works when stacked above the DM "striped" target).

 - Various Documentation fixes and improvements.

 - Misc cleanups and fixes across various DM infrastructure and targets
   (e.g. bufio, flakey, log-writes, snapshot).

      Linus Torvalds authored 
      Pull xfs updates from Darrick Wong:
 "This merge cycle, we're again some substantive changes to XFS.

  Metadata verifiers have been restructured to provide more detail about
  which part of a metadata structure failed checks, and we've enhanced
  the new online fsck feature to cross-reference extent allocation
  information with the other metadata structures. With this pull, the
  metadata verification part of online fsck is more or less finished,
  though the feature is still experimental and still disabled by
  default.

  We're also preparing to remove the EXPERIMENTAL tag from a couple of
  features this cycle. This week we're committing a bunch of space
  accounting fixes for reflink and removing the EXPERIMENTAL tag from
  reflink; I anticipate that we'll be ready to do the same for the
  reverse mapping feature next week. (I don't have any pending fixes for
  rmap; however I wish to remove the tags one at a time.)

  This giant pile of patches has been run through a full xfstests run
  over the weekend and through a quick xfstests run against this
  morning's master, with no major failures reported. Let me know if
  there's any merge problems -- git merge reported that one of our
  patches touched the same function as the i_version series, but it
  resolved things cleanly.

  Summary:

   - Log faulting code locations when verifiers fail, for improved
     diagnosis of corrupt filesystems.

   - Implement metadata verifiers for local format inode fork data.

   - Online scrub now cross-references metadata records with other
     metadata.

   - Refactor the fs geometry ioctl generation functions.

   - Harden various metadata verifiers.

   - Fix various accounting problems.

   - Fix uncancelled transactions leaking when xattr functions fail.

   - Prevent the copy-on-write speculative preallocation garbage
     collector from racing with writeback.

   - Emit log reservation type information as trace data so that we can
     compare against xfsprogs.

   - Fix some erroneous asserts in the online scrub code.

   - Clean up the transaction reservation calculations.

   - Fix various minor bugs in online scrub.

   - Log complaints about mixed dio/buffered writes once per day and
     less noisily than before.

   - Refactor buffer log item lists to use list_head.

   - Break PNFS leases before reflinking blocks.

   - Reduce lock contention on reflink source files.

   - Fix some quota accounting problems with reflink.

   - Fix a serious corruption problem in the direct cow write code where
     we fed bad iomaps to the vfs iomap consumers.

   - Various other refactorings.

   - Remove EXPERIMENTAL tag from reflink!"

      Linus Torvalds authored 
      Pull GFS2 updates from Bob Peterson:
 "We've got 30 patches for this merge window. These generally fall into
  five categories:

   - code cleanups

   - patches related to adding PUNCH_HOLE support to GFS2

   - support for new fields in resource group headers

   - a few bug fixes

   - support for new fields in journal log headers. These new fields,
     which were previously unused, are designed to make it easier to
     track down file system corruption, and allow fsck.gfs2 to make more
     intelligent decisions when finding and fixing file system
     corruption.

  Details:

   - Two patches from Abhi Das, to trim the ordered writes list, which
     used to grow uncontrollably until unmount.

   - Several patches from Andreas Gruenbacher: remove an unused
     parameter from function gfs2_write_jdata_pagevec, remove a
     pointless BUG_ON, clean up an error patch in trunc_start, remove
     some unused parameters from truncate, make gfs2_journaled_truncate
     more efficient, clean up the support functions for truncate, fix
     metadata read-ahead for truncate to make it faster, fix up the
     non-recursive truncate code, rework and rename
     gfs2_block_truncate_page, generalize the non-recursive truncate
     code so it can take a range of values for punch_hole support,
     introduce new PUNCH_HOLE support that take advantage of the
     previous patches, add fallocate support with PUNCH_HOLE, fix some
     typos in the comments, add the function gfs2_max_stuffed_size to
     replace a piece of code that was needlessly repeated throughout
     GFS2, a minor cleanup to function gfs2_page_add_databufs, get rid
     of function gfs2_log_header_in in preparation for the new log
     header fields, and also fix up some missing newlines in kernel
     messages.

   - Andy Price added a new field to resource groups to indicate where
     the next one should be, to allow fsck.gfs2 to make better repairs.
     He also added new rindex fields for consistency checking, and added
     a crc field to resource group headers for consistency checking.

   - I reduced redundancy in functions common to freeing dinodes, and
     when writing log headers between the journalling code and journal
     recovery code. Also added new fields to journal log headers based
     on a prototype from Steve Whitehouse, and log the source of journal
     log headers so we can better track down journal corruption. Minor
     comment typo fix and a fix for a BUG in an unlink error path.

   - Steve Whitehouse contributed a patch to fix an incorrect use of the
     gfs2_blk2rgrpd function.

   - Tetsuo Handa contributed a patch that fixes incorrect error
     handling in function init_gfs2_fs"

      iversion: make inode_cmp_iversion{+raw} return bool instead of s64 · c0cef30e
      Jeff Layton authored 
      As Linus points out:

    The inode_cmp_iversion{+raw}() functions are pure and utter crap.

    Why?

    You say that they return 0/negative/positive, but they do so in a
    completely broken manner. They return that ternary value as the
    sequence number difference in a 's64', which means that if you
    actually care about that ternary value, and do the *sane* thing that
    the kernel-doc of the function implies is the right thing, you would
    do

        int cmp = inode_cmp_iversion(inode, old);
        if (cmp < 0 ...

    and as a result you get code that looks sane, but that doesn't
    actually *WORK* right.

Since none of the callers actually care about the ternary value here,
convert the inode_cmp_iversion{+raw} functions to just return a boolean
value (false for matching, true for non-matching).

This matches the existing use of these functions just fine, and makes it
simple to convert them to return a ternary value in the future if we
grow callers that need it.

With this change we can also reimplement inode_cmp_iversion in a simpler
way using inode_peek_iversion.
