"The biggest feature in the pull is the new (and still experimental)
raid56 code that David Woodhouse started long ago. I'm still working
on the parity logging setup that will avoid inconsistent parity after
a crash, so this is only for testing right now. But, I'd really like
to get it out to a broader audience to hammer out any performance
issues or other problems.
scrub does not yet correct errors on raid5/6 either.
Josef has another pass at fsync performance. The big change here is
to combine waiting for metadata with waiting for data, which is a big
latency win. It is also step one toward using atomics from the
hardware during a commit.
Mark Fasheh has a new way to use btrfs send/receive to send only the
metadata changes. SUSE is using this to make snapper more efficient
at finding changes between snapshosts.
Snapshot-aware defrag is also included.
Otherwise we have a large number of fixes and cleanups. Eric Sandeen
wins the award for removing the most lines, and I'm hoping we steal

So far we silently ignored when quota mount options were set while quota
feature was enabled. But this can create confusion in userspace when
mount options are set but silently ignored and also creates opportunities
for bugs when we don't properly test all quota types. Actually
ext4_mark_dquot_dirty() forgets to test for quota feature so it was
dependent on journaled quota options being set. OTOH ext4_orphan_cleanup()
tries to enable journaled quota when quota options are specified which is
wrong when quota feature is enabled.

Make a copy of the device tree blob in non-init memory. It is required
when using built-in device tree files that the platform code copies the

and potentially reused, breaking later reading of the device tree
post-init (such as compatible matching in modules, debugfs, and the

The SMP version of arch_local_irq_enable() uses preempt_disable(), but
<asm/irqflags.h> doesn't include <linux/preempt.h> causing the following
errors on SMP when pstore/ftrace is enabled (caught by buildbot smp
allyesconfig):
In file included from include/linux/irqflags.h:15,
from fs/pstore/ftrace.c:16:
arch/metag/include/asm/irqflags.h: In function 'arch_local_irq_enable':

arch/metag/include/asm/irqflags.h:86: error: implicit declaration of function 'preempt_enable_no_resched'
However <linux/preempt.h> cannot be easily included from
<asm/irqflags.h> as it can cause circular include dependencies in the
!SMP case, and potentially in the SMP case in the future. Therefore move
the SMP implementation of arch_local_irq_enable() into traps.c and use
an inline version of get_trigger_mask() which is also defined in traps.c
for SMP.
This adds an extra layer of function call / stack push when
preempt_disable needs to call other functions, however in the
non-preemptive SMP case it should be about as fast, as it was already
calling the get_trigger_mask() function which is now used inline.

Add header files to implement Meta hardware thread locks (used by some
other atomic operations), atomics, spinlocks, and bitops.
There are 2 main types of atomic primitives for metag (in addition to
IRQs off on UP):
- LOCK instructions provide locking between hardware threads.
- LNKGET/LNKSET instructions provide load-linked/store-conditional
operations allowing for lighter weight atomics on Meta2
LOCK instructions allow for hardware threads to acquire voluntary or
exclusive hardware thread locks:
- LOCK0 releases exclusive and voluntary lock from the running hardware
thread.
- LOCK1 acquires the voluntary hardware lock, blocking until it becomes
available.
- LOCK2 implies LOCK1, and additionally acquires the exclusive hardware
lock, blocking all other hardware threads from executing.
