Pull ext4 updates from Ted Ts'o:
 "Major changes for 3.14 include support for the newly added ZERO_RANGE
  and COLLAPSE_RANGE fallocate operations, and scalability improvements
  in the jbd2 layer and in xattr handling when the extended attributes
  spill over into an external block.

  Other than that, the usual clean ups and minor bug fixes"

<title>mm + fs: store shadow entries in page cache</title>

<content type='text'>
Reclaim will be leaving shadow entries in the page cache radix tree upon
evicting the real page.  As those pages are found from the LRU, an
iput() can lead to the inode being freed concurrently.  At this point,
reclaim must no longer install shadow pages because the inode freeing
code needs to ensure the page tree is really empty.

Add an address_space flag, AS_EXITING, that the inode freeing code sets
under the tree lock before doing the final truncate.  Reclaim will check
for this flag before installing shadow pages.

<title>fs: push sync_filesystem() down to the file system's remount_fs()</title>

Previously, the no-op "mount -o mount /dev/xxx" operation when the
file system is already mounted read-write causes an implied,
unconditional syncfs().  This seems pretty stupid, and it's certainly
documented or guaraunteed to do this, nor is it particularly useful,
except in the case where the file system was mounted rw and is getting
remounted read-only.

However, it's possible that there might be some file systems that are
actually depending on this behavior.  In most file systems, it's
probably fine to only call sync_filesystem() when transitioning from
read-write to read-only, and there are some file systems where this is
not needed at all (for example, for a pseudo-filesystem or something
like romfs).

truncate_pagecache() doesn't care about old size since commit
cedabed49b39 ("vfs: Fix vmtruncate() regression").  Let's drop it.

Instances either don't look at it at all (the majority of cases) or
only want it to find the superblock (which can be had as dentry-&gt;d_sb).
A few cases that want more are actually safe with dentry-&gt;d_inode -
the only precaution needed is the check that it hadn't been replaced with
NULL by rmdir() or by overwriting rename(), which case should be simply
treated as cache miss.

<title>fs: Readd the fs module aliases.</title>

I had assumed that the only use of module aliases for filesystems
prior to "fs: Limit sys_mount to only request filesystem modules."
was in request_module.  It turns out I was wrong.  At least mkinitcpio
in Arch linux uses these aliases.

So readd the preexising aliases, to keep from breaking userspace.

Userspace eventually will have to follow and use the same aliases the
kernel does.  So at some point we may be delete these aliases without
problems.  However that day is not today.
