      Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
       "New features:
      
         - swapfile support - after a long time it's here, with some
           limitations where COW design does not work well with the swap
           implementation (nodatacow file, no compression, cannot be
           snapshotted, not possible on multiple devices, ...), as this is the
           most restricted but working setup, we'll try to improve that in the
           future
      
         - metadata uuid - an optional incompat feature to assign a new
           filesystem UUID without overwriting all metadata blocks, stored
           only in superblock
      
         - more balance messages are printed to system log, initial is in the
           format of the command line that would be used to start it
      
        Fixes:
      
         - tag pages of a snapshot to better separate pages that are involved
           in the snapshot (and need to get synced) from newly dirtied pages
           that could slow down or even livelock the snapshot operation
      
         - improved check of filesystem id associated with a device during
           scan to detect duplicate devices that could be mixed up during
           mount
      
         - fix device replace state transitions, eg. when it ends up
           interrupted and reboot tries to restart balance too, or when
           start/cancel ioctls race
      
         - fix a crash due to a race when quotas are enabled during snapshot
           creation
      
         - GFP_NOFS/memalloc_nofs_* fixes due to GFP_KERNEL allocations in
           transaction context
      
         - fix fsync of files with multiple hard links in new directories
      
         - fix race of send with transaction commits that create snapshots
      
        Core changes:
      
         - cleanups:
            * further removals of now-dead fsync code
            * core function for finding free extent has been split and
              provides a base for further cleanups to make the logic more
              understandable
            * removed lot of indirect callbacks for data and metadata inodes
            * simplified refcounting and locking for cloned extent buffers
            * removed redundant function arguments
            * defines converted to enums where appropriate
      
         - separate reserve for delayed refs from global reserve, update logic
           to do less trickery and ad-hoc heuristics, move out some related
           expensive operations from transaction commit or file truncate
      
         - dev-replace switched from custom locking scheme to semaphore
      
         - remove first phase of balance that tried to make some space for the
           relocation by calling shrink and grow, this did not work as
           expected and only introduced more error states due to potential
           resize failures, slightly improves the runtime as the chunks on all
           devices are not needlessly enumerated
      
         - clone and deduplication now use generic helper that adds a few more
           checks that were missing from the original btrfs implementation of
           the ioctls"

      20) Significantly improve garbage collection of neighbor objects when
          the table has many PERMANENT entries, from David Ahern.
      
      21) Remove egdev usage from nfp and mlx5, and remove the facility
          completely from the tree as it no longer has any users. From Oz
          Shlomo and others.
      
      22) Add a NETDEV_PRE_CHANGEADDR so that drivers can veto the change and
          therefore abort the operation before the commit phase (which is the
          NETDEV_CHANGEADDR event). From Petr Machata.
      
      23) Add indirect call wrappers to avoid retpoline overhead, and use them
          in the GRO code paths. From Paolo Abeni.
      
      24) Add support for netlink FDB get operations, from Roopa Prabhu.
      
      25) Support bloom filter in mlxsw driver, from Nir Dotan.
      
      26) Add SKB extension infrastructure. This consolidates the handling of
          the auxiliary SKB data used by IPSEC and bridge netfilter, and is
          designed to support the needs to MPTCP which could be integrated in
          the future.
      
      27) Lots of XDP TX optimizations in mlx5 from Tariq Toukan.

       "I already used my best holiday pull request lines in the audit pull
        request, so this one is going to be a bit more boring, sorry about
        that. To make up for this, we do have a birthday of sorts to
        celebrate: SELinux turns 18 years old this December. Perhaps not the
        most exciting thing in the world for most people, but I think it's
        safe to say that anyone reading this email doesn't exactly fall into
        the "most people" category.
      
        Back to business and the pull request itself:
      
        Ondrej has five patches in this pull request and I lump them into
        three categories: one patch to always allow submounts (using similar
        logic to elsewhere in the kernel), one to fix some issues with the
        SELinux policydb, and the others to cleanup and improve the SELinux
        sidtab.
      
        The other patches from Alexey and Petr and trivial fixes that are
        adequately described in their respective subject lines.
      
        With this last pull request of the year, I want to thank everyone who
        has contributed patches, testing, and reviews to the SELinux project
        this year, and the past 18 years. Like any good open source effort,
        SELinux is only as good as the community which supports it, and I'm
        very happy that we have the community we do - thank you all!"

       "In the finest of holiday of traditions, I have a number of gifts to
        share today. While most of them are re-gifts from others, unlike the
        typical re-gift, these are things you will want in and around your
        tree; I promise.
      
        This pull request is perhaps a bit larger than our typical PR, but
        most of it comes from Jan's rework of audit's fanotify code; a very
        welcome improvement. We ran this through our normal regression tests,
        as well as some newly created stress tests and everything looks good.
      
        Richard added a few patches, mostly cleaning up a few things and and
        shortening some of the audit records that we send to userspace; a
        change the userspace folks are quite happy about.
      
        Finally YueHaibing and I kick in a few patches to simplify things a
        bit and make the code less prone to errors.
      
        Lastly, I want to say thanks one more time to everyone who has
        contributed patches, testing, and code reviews for the audit subsystem
        over the past year. The project is what it is due to your help and

         - Mitigations for Spectre v2 on some Freescale (NXP) CPUs.
      
         - A large series adding support for pass-through of Nvidia V100 GPUs
           to guests on Power9.
      
         - Another large series to enable hardware assistance for TLB table
           walk on MPC8xx CPUs.
      
         - Some preparatory changes to our DMA code, to make way for further
           cleanups from Christoph.
      
         - Several fixes for our Transactional Memory handling discovered by
           fuzzing the signal return path.
      
         - Support for generating our system call table(s) from a text file
           like other architectures.
      
         - A fix to our page fault handler so that instead of generating a
           WARN_ON_ONCE, user accesses of kernel addresses instead print a
           ratelimited and appropriately scary warning.
      
         - A cosmetic change to make our unhandled page fault messages more
           similar to other arches and also more compact and informative.
      
         - Freescale updates from Scott:
             "Highlights include elimination of legacy clock bindings use from
              dts files, an 83xx watchdog handler, fixes to old dts interrupt
              errors, and some minor cleanup."
