[PATCH v2 0/2] pNFS block/SCSI layouts read-modify-write fix&improvement

[Kazuo Ito]

This set of patches attempt to fix potential data integrity problem
in nfs_want_read_modify_write() and improve full page overwrite
performance of pNFS block/SCSI layouts.

The patch set comprises of two patches:
 - 1/2 "pNFS: Fix potential corruption of page being written"
   fixes the integrity issue
 - 2/2 "pNFS: Avoid read/modify/write when it is not necessary"
   addresses the cases where read/modify/write was requested for a full-
   page write.

v1 -> v2:
 - added the fix for missing PagePrivate in the pNFS block layout
 - made the check for full page write a separate inline function
 - merged the duplicated code for the pNFS block/SCSI layouts and
   for the other layout + normal NFS
 - type usage clean up (int to bool, unsigned to unsigned int)

  pNFS: Avoid read/modify/write when it is not necessary

These look good so I've applied them to the linux-next branch for the
5.1 merge window,

Thanks!
