  GFS2: gfs2_atomic_open(): simplify the use of finish_no_open() (2014-11-20 11:18:08 +0000)

----------------------------------------------------------------
In contrast to recent merge windows, there are a number of interesting features
this time. There is a set of patches to improve performance in relation to
block reservations. Some correctness fixes for fallocate, and an update
to the freeze/thaw code which greatly simplyfies this code path. In
addition there is a set of clean ups from Al Viro too.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Al Viro (5):
      GFS2: bugger off early if O_CREAT open finds a directory
      GFS2: gfs2_create_inode(): don't bother with d_splice_alias()
      GFS2: use kvfree() instead of open-coding it
      GFS2: gfs2_dir_get_hash_table(): avoiding deferred vfree() is easy here...
      GFS2: gfs2_atomic_open(): simplify the use of finish_no_open()

Andrew Price (3):
      GFS2: Use inode_newsize_ok and get_write_access in fallocate
      GFS2: Update i_size properly on fallocate
      GFS2: Update timestamps on fallocate

Benjamin Marzinski (2):
      fs: add freeze_super/thaw_super fs hooks
      GFS2: update freeze code to use freeze/thaw_super on all nodes

Bob Peterson (3):
      GFS2: Set of distributed preferences for rgrps
      GFS2: Only increase rs_sizehint
      GFS2: If we use up our block reservation, request more next time

Fabian Frederick (1):
      GFS2: directly return gfs2_dir_check()

Markus Elfring (1):
      GFS2: Deletion of unnecessary checks before two function calls
