Merge tag 'ext4_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4

Pull ext4 update from Ted Ts'o:
"Lots of bug fixes, cleanups and optimizations. In the bug fixes
category, of note is a fix for on-line resizing file systems where the
block size is smaller than the page size (i.e., file systems 1k blocks
on x86, or more interestingly file systems with 4k blocks on Power or
ia64 systems.)

In the cleanup category, the ext4's punch hole implementation was
significantly improved by Lukas Czerner, and now supports bigalloc
file systems. In addition, Jan Kara significantly cleaned up the
write submission code path. We also improved error checking and added
a few sanity checks.

In the optimizations category, two major optimizations deserve
mention. The first is that ext4_writepages() is now used for
nodelalloc and ext3 compatibility mode. This allows writes to be
submitted much more efficiently as a single bio request, instead of
being sent as individual 4k writes into the block layer (which then
relied on the elevator code to coalesce the requests in the block
queue). Secondly, the extent cache shrink mechanism, which was
introduce in 3.9, no longer has a scalability bottleneck caused by the
i_es_lru spinlock. Other optimizations include some changes to reduce
CPU usage and to avoid issuing empty commits unnecessarily."

jbd2: fix block tag checksum verification brokenness

Al Viro complained of a ton of bogosity with regards to the jbd2 block
tag header checksum. This one checksum is 16 bits, so cut off the
upper 16 bits and treat it as a 16-bit value and don't mess around
with be32* conversions. Fortunately metadata checksumming is still
"experimental" and not in a shipping e2fsprogs, so there should be few
users affected by this.

Backmerge to solve two ugly conflicts:

- wc support gtt ptes. We've had to revert this for snb+ for 3.7 and
also fix a few other things in the code. Now we know how to make it
work on snb+, but to avoid losing the other fixes do the backmerge
first before re-enabling wc gtt ptes on snb+.

And a few other minor things, among them git getting confused in
intel_dp.c and seemingly causing a conflict out of nothing ...

Merge commit '5bc66170dc486556a1e36fd384463536573f4b82' into x86/urgent

From Borislav Petkov <bp@amd64.org>:

Below is a RAS fix which reverts the addition of a sysfs attribute
which we agreed is not needed, post-factum. And this should go in now
because that sysfs attribute is going to end up in 3.7 otherwise and
thus exposed to userspace; removing it then would be a lot harder.

This is done as a merge rather than a simple patch/cherry-pick since
the baseline for this patch was not in the previous x86/urgent.

"The big new feature added this time is supporting online resizing
using the meta_bg feature. This allows us to resize file systems
which are greater than 16TB. In addition, the speed of online
resizing has been improved in general.

We also fix a number of races, some of which could lead to deadlocks,
in ext4's Asynchronous I/O and online defrag support, thanks to good
work by Dmitry Monakhov.

There are also a large number of more minor bug fixes and cleanups
from a number of other ext4 contributors, quite of few of which have
submitted fixes for the first time."
