    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull ext4 updates from Ted Ts'o:
     "This merge window saw the the following new featuers added to ext4:
    
       - Direct I/O via iomap (required the iomap-for-next branch from
         Darrick as a prereq).
    
       - Support for using dioread-nolock where the block size < page size.
    
       - Support for encryption for file systems where the block size < page
         size.
    
       - Rework of journal credits handling so a revoke-heavy workload will
         not cause the journal to run out of space.
    
       - Replace bit-spinlocks with spinlocks in jbd2
    
      Also included were some bug fixes and cleanups, mostly to clean up
      corner cases from fuzzed file systems and error path handling"
