[PATCH 0/9] GFS2: Pre-pull patch posting (merge window)

Hi, Here is a list of patches we've accumulated for GFS2 for the current upstream merge window. Most of the patches fix GFS2 quotas, which were not properly enforced. There's another that adds me as a GFS2 co-maintainer, and a couple patches that fix a kernel panic doing splice_write on GFS2 as

Hi, Not a huge amount this time... just four patches. This time we have a couple of bug fixes, one relating to bad i_goal values which are now ignored (i_goal is basically a hint so it is safe to so this) and another relating to the saving of the dirent location during rename. There is one

Hi, This must be about the smallest merge window patch set ever for GFS2. It is probably also the first one without a single patch from me. That is down to a combination of factors, and I have some things in the works that are not quite ready yet, that I hope to put in next time around.

Hi, This is the smallest merge window patch set for GFS2 for quite some time. Only one of the patches (moving gfs2_sync_meta) is a non-bug fix patch, although the merge ordered and writeback writepage patch is also a nice clean up. A couple of the patches are quite recently added, due to my only

This is one of the smallest collections of patches for the merge window for some time. There are some clean ups relating to the transaction code and the shrinker, which are mostly in preparation for further development, but also make the code much easier to follow in these areas. There is a patch
