Commit 834392a7 ("serial: doc: Un-document non-existing uart_write_console()") removed a paragraph about a helper function that seemed to never exist.

Pull orangefs filesystem from Mike Marshall. This finally merges the long-pending orangefs filesystem, which has been much cleaned up with input from Al Viro over the last six months. From the documentation file: "OrangeFS is an LGPL userspace scale-out parallel storage system. It is ideal for large storage problems faced by HPC, BigData, Streaming Video, Genomics, Bioinformatics. Orangefs, originally called PVFS, was first developed in 1993 by Walt Ligon and Eric Blumer as a parallel file system for Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM) as part of a NASA grant to study the I/O patterns of parallel programs. Orangefs features include: - Distributes file data among multiple file servers - Supports simultaneous access by multiple clients - Stores file data and metadata on servers using local file system and access methods - Userspace implementation is easy to install and maintain - Direct MPI support - Stateless" see Documentation/filesystems/orangefs.txt for more in-depth details. * tag 'ofs-pull-tag-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/hubcap/linux: (174 commits) orangefs: fix orangefs_superblock locking orangefs: fix do_readv_writev() handling of error halfway through orangefs: have ->kill_sb() evict the VFS side of things first orangefs: sanitize ->llseek() orangefs-bufmap.h: trim unused junk orangefs: saner calling conventions for getting a slot orangefs_copy_{to,from}_bufmap(): don't pass bufmap pointer orangefs: get rid of readdir_handle_s ornagefs: ensure that truncate has an up to date inode size orangefs: move code which sets i_link to orangefs_inode_getattr orangefs: remove needless wrapper around GFP_KERNEL orangefs: remove wrapper around mutex_lock(&inode->i_mutex) orangefs: refactor inode type or link_target change detection orangefs: use new getattr for revalidate and remove old getattr orangefs: use new getattr in inode getattr and permission orangefs: use new orangefs_inode_getattr to get size in write and llseek orangefs: use new orangefs_inode_getattr to create new inodes orangefs: rename orangefs_inode_getattr to orangefs_inode_old_getattr orangefs: remove inode->i_lock wrapper orangefs: put register_chrdev immediately before register_filesystem ...

Commit 0b81d077 ("fs crypto: move per-file encryption from f2fs tree to fs/crypto") moved the f2fs crypto files to fs/crypto/ and renamed the symbol prefixes from "f2fs_" to "fscrypt_" (and from "F2FS_" to just "FS" for preprocessor symbols). Because of the symbol renaming, it's a bit hard to see it as a file move: use git show -M30 0b81d077 to lower the rename detection to just 30% similarity and make git show the files as renamed (the header file won't be shown as a rename even then - since all it contains is symbol definitions, it looks almost completely different). Even with the renames showing as renames, the diffs are not all that easy to read, since so much is just the renames. But Eric Biggers noticed that it's not just all renames: the initialization of the xts_tweak had been broken too, using the inode number rather than the page offset. That's not right - it makes the xfs_tweak the same for all pages of each inode. It _might_ make sense to make the xfs_tweak contain both the offset _and_ the inode number, but not just the inode number.

* switch orangefs_remount() to taking ORANGEFS_SB(sb) instead of sb * remove from the list _before_ orangefs_unmount() - request_mutex in the latter will make sure that nothing observed in the loop in ORANGEFS_DEV_REMOUNT_ALL handling will get freed until the end of loop * on removal, keep the forward pointer and zero the back one. That way we can drop and regain the spinlock in the loop body (again, ORANGEFS_DEV_REMOUNT_ALL one) and still be able to get to the rest of the list.
