Merge tag 'vfs-fix-ioctl-checking-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfs-linux

Pull common SETFLAGS/FSSETXATTR parameter checking from Darrick Wong:
 "Here's a patch series that sets up common parameter checking functions
  for the FS_IOC_SETFLAGS and FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR ioctl implementations.

  The goal here is to reduce the amount of behaviorial variance between
  the filesystems where those ioctls originated (ext2 and XFS,
  respectively) and everybody else.

   - Standardize parameter checking for the SETFLAGS and FSSETXATTR
     ioctls (which were the file attribute setters for ext4 and xfs and
     have now been hoisted to the vfs)

   - Only allow the DAX flag to be set on files and directories"

* tag 'vfs-fix-ioctl-checking-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfs-linux:
  vfs: only allow FSSETXATTR to set DAX flag on files and dirs
  vfs: teach vfs_ioc_fssetxattr_check to check extent size hints
  vfs: teach vfs_ioc_fssetxattr_check to check project id info
  vfs: create a generic checking function for FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR
  vfs: create a generic checking and prep function for FS_IOC_SETFLAGS
