Merge tag 'for-linus-5.2-ofs1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/hubcap/linux

Pull orangefs updates from Mike Marshall:
 "This includes one fix and our "Orangefs through the pagecache" patch
  series which greatly improves our small IO performance and helps us
  pass more xfstests than before.

  Fix:
   - orangefs: truncate before updating size

  Pagecache series:
   - all the rest"

* tag 'for-linus-5.2-ofs1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/hubcap/linux: (23 commits)
  orangefs: truncate before updating size
  orangefs: copy Orangefs-sized blocks into the pagecache if possible.
  orangefs: pass slot index back to readpage.
  orangefs: remember count when reading.
  orangefs: add orangefs_revalidate_mapping
  orangefs: implement writepages
  orangefs: write range tracking
  orangefs: avoid fsync service operation on flush
  orangefs: skip inode writeout if nothing to write
  orangefs: move do_readv_writev to direct_IO
  orangefs: do not return successful read when the client-core disappeared
  orangefs: implement writepage
  orangefs: migrate to generic_file_read_iter
  orangefs: service ops done for writeback are not killable
  orangefs: remove orangefs_readpages
  orangefs: reorganize setattr functions to track attribute changes
  orangefs: let setattr write to cached inode
  orangefs: set up and use backing_dev_info
  orangefs: hold i_lock during inode_getattr
  orangefs: update attributes rather than relying on server
