Merge tag 'gfs2-4.12.fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gfs2/linux-gfs2

Pull GFS2 updates from Bob Peterson:
 "We've got ten GFS2 patches for this merge window.

   - Andreas Gruenbacher wrote a patch to replace the deprecated call to
     rhashtable_walk_init with rhashtable_walk_enter.

   - Andreas also wrote a patch to eliminate redundant code in two of
     our debugfs sequence files.

   - Andreas also cleaned up the rhashtable key ugliness Linus pointed
     out during this cycle, following Linus's suggestions.

   - Andreas also wrote a patch to take advantage of his new function
     rhashtable_lookup_get_insert_fast. This makes glock lookup faster
     and more bullet-proof.

   - Andreas also wrote a patch to revert a patch in the evict path that
     caused occasional deadlocks, and is no longer needed.

   - Andrew Price wrote a patch to re-enable fallocate for the rindex
     system file to enable gfs2_grow to grow properly on secondary file
     system grow operations.

   - I wrote a patch to initialize an inode number field to make certain
     kernel trace points more understandable.

   - I also wrote a patch that makes GFS2 file system "withdraw" work
     more like it should by ignoring operations after a withdraw that
     would formerly cause a BUG() and kernel panic.

   - I also reworked the entire truncate/delete algorithm, scrapping the
     old recursive algorithm in favor of a new non-recursive algorithm.
     This was done for performance: This way, GFS2 no longer needs to
     lock multiple resource groups while doing truncates and deletes of
     files that cross multiple resource group boundaries, allowing for
     better parallelism. It also solves a problem whereby deleting large
     files would request a large chunk of kernel memory, which resulted
     in a get_page_from_freelist warning.

   - Due to a regression found during testing, I added a new patch to
     correct 'GFS2: Prevent BUG from occurring when normal Withdraws
     occur'."
