Hi Linus,
Can you please pull the following XFS fixes? The fixes all address
recently discovered data corruption issues. The original Direct IO
issue was discovered by Chris Mason @ Facebook on a production
workload which mixed buffered reads with direct reads and writes IO
to the same file. The fix for that exposed other issues with page
invalidation (exposed by millions of fsx operations) failing due to
dirty buffers beyond EOF.
Finally, the collapse_range code could also cause problems due to
racing writeback changing the extent map while it was being shifted
around. The commits for that problem are simple mitigation fixes
that prevent the problem from occuring. A more robust fix for 3.18
that addresses the underlying problem is currently being worked on
by Brian.
-Dave.

----------------------------------------------------------------
xfs: fixes for v3.17-rc3
Fix:
- a direct IO read/buffered read data corruption
