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

Pull ext4 updates from Ted Ts'o:
 "Major changes for 3.14 include support for the newly added ZERO_RANGE
  and COLLAPSE_RANGE fallocate operations, and scalability improvements
  in the jbd2 layer and in xattr handling when the extended attributes
  spill over into an external block.

  Other than that, the usual clean ups and minor bug fixes"

+ * Lock descriptions and usage:
+ *
+ * Each hash chain of both the block and index hash tables now contains
+ * a built-in lock used to serialize accesses to the hash chain.
+ *
+ * Accesses to global data structures mb_cache_list and mb_cache_lru_list
+ * are serialized via the global spinlock mb_cache_spinlock.
+ *
+ * Each mb_cache_entry contains a spinlock, e_entry_lock, to serialize
+ * accesses to its local data, such as e_used and e_queued.
+ *
+ * Lock ordering:
+ *
+ * Each block hash chain's lock has the highest lock order, followed by an
+ * index hash chain's lock, mb_cache_bg_lock (used to implement mb_cache_entry's
+ * lock), and mb_cach_spinlock, with the lowest order.  While holding
+ * either a block or index hash chain lock, a thread can acquire an
+ * mc_cache_bg_lock, which in turn can also acquire mb_cache_spinlock.
+ *
+ * Synchronization:
+ *
+ * Since both mb_cache_entry_get and mb_cache_entry_find scan the block and
+ * index hash chian, it needs to lock the corresponding hash chain.  For each
+ * mb_cache_entry within the chain, it needs to lock the mb_cache_entry to
+ * prevent either any simultaneous release or free on the entry and also
+ * to serialize accesses to either the e_used or e_queued member of the entry.
+ *
+ * To avoid having a dangling reference to an already freed
+ * mb_cache_entry, an mb_cache_entry is only freed when it is not on a
+ * block hash chain and also no longer being referenced, both e_used,
+ * and e_queued are 0's.  When an mb_cache_entry is explicitly freed it is
+ * first removed from a block hash chain.
