Pull xfs fixes from Dave Chinner: "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. Summary of fixes: - a direct IO read/buffered read data corruption - the associated fallout from the DIO data corruption fix - collapse range bugs that are potential data corruption issues" * tag 'xfs-for-linus-3.17-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dgc/linux-xfs: xfs: trim eofblocks before collapse range xfs: xfs_file_collapse_range is delalloc challenged xfs: don't log inode unless extent shift makes extent modifications xfs: use ranged writeback and invalidation for direct IO xfs: don't zero partial page cache pages during O_DIRECT writes xfs: don't zero partial page cache pages during O_DIRECT writes xfs: don't dirty buffers beyond EOF
