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'." * tag 'gfs2-4.12.fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gfs2/linux-gfs2: GFS2: Allow glocks to be unlocked after withdraw GFS2: Non-recursive delete gfs2: Re-enable fallocate for the rindex Revert "GFS2: Wait for iopen glock dequeues" gfs2: Switch to rhashtable_lookup_get_insert_fast GFS2: Temporarily zero i_no_addr when creating a dinode gfs2: Don't pack struct lm_lockname gfs2: Deduplicate gfs2_{glocks,glstats}_open gfs2: Replace rhashtable_walk_init with rhashtable_walk_enter GFS2: Prevent BUG from occurring when normal Withdraws occur
