Merge tag 'gfs2-merge-window' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gfs2/linux-gfs2
Pull gfs2 updates from Bob Peterson: "Here is a list of patches we've accumulated for GFS2 for the current upstream merge window. There are only six patches this time: 1. A cleanup patch from Andreas to remove the gl_spin #define in favor of its value for the sake of clarity. 2. A fix from Andy Price to mark the inode dirty during fallocate. 3. A fix from Andy Price to set s_mode on mount failures to prevent a stack trace. 4 A patch from me to prevent a kernel BUG() in trans_add_meta/trans_add_data due to uninitialized storage. 5. A patch from me to protecting our freeing of the in-core directory hash table to prevent double-free. 6. A fix for a page/block rounding problem that resulted in a metadata coherency problem when the block size != page size" I've got a lot more patches in various stages of review and testing, but I'm afraid they'll have to wait until the next merge window. So next time we're likely to have a lot more" * tag 'gfs2-merge-window' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gfs2/linux-gfs2: GFS2: Fix rgrp end rounding problem for bsize < page size GFS2: Protect freeing directory hash table with i_lock spin_lock gfs2: Remove gl_spin define gfs2: Add missing else in trans_add_meta/data GFS2: Set s_mode before parsing mount options GFS2: fallocate: do not rely on file_update_time to mark the inode dirty
