Hi Linus,
please pull:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ryusuke/nilfs2.git for-linus
to grab the following fix, which corrects sync failure of discard in
nilfs that Christoph noticed me recently.
Thanks!

The following changes since commit 3b89f56783a4ef796190e
The current nilfs_destroy_inode() doesn't handle metadata file inodes
including gc inodes (dummy inodes used for garbage collection).
This allows nilfs_destroy_inode() to destroy inodes of metadata files.

This allows sop->dirty_inode callback function (nilfs_dirty_inode) to
handle metadata file inodes.

This uses iget5_locked instead of iget_locked so that gc cache can
look up inodes with an inode number and an optional checkpoint number.

This is a patchset to remove own inode hash table from nilfs.
The current version of nilfs uses inode not only to manage regular
files, directories, symlinks but also for some types of metadata and
for caching file blocks relocated by GC.
The last type of inodes is called gc-inodes, and nilfs kee
This uses inode hash function that vfs provides instead of the own
hash table for caching gc inodes. This finally removes the own inode
hash from nilfs.

On-memory inode structures of nilfs have a member "i_cno" which stores
a checkpoint number related to the inode. For gc-inodes, this field
indicates version of data each gc-inode caches for GC. Log writer
temporarily uses "i_cno" to transfer the latest checkpoint number.
This stops the latter us
This separates a part of initialization code of metadata file inode,
and makes it available from the nilfs iget function that a later patch
will add to.
