      There are few important bug fixes for LogFS
      
      * tag 'for-linus' of git://github.com/prasad-joshi/logfs_upstream:
        Logfs: Allow NULL block_isbad() methods
        logfs: Grow inode in delete path
        logfs: Free areas before calling generic_shutdown_super()
        logfs: remove useless BUG_ON
        MAINTAINERS: Add Prasad Joshi in LogFS maintiners
        logfs: Propagate page parameter to __logfs_write_inode
        logfs: set superblock shutdown flag after generic sb shutdown
        logfs: take write mutex lock during fsync and sync
        logfs: Prevent memory corruption
        logfs: update page reference count for pined pages
      
      Fix up conflict in fs/logfs/dev_mtd.c due to semantic change in what
      "mtd->block_isbad" means in commit f2933e86: "Logfs: Allow NULL
      block_isbad() methods" clashing with the abstraction changes in the
      commits 7086c19d: "mtd: introduce mtd_block_isbad interface" and
      d58b27ed: "logfs: do not use 'mtd->block_isbad' directly".
      
      This resolution takes the semantics from commit f2933e86, and just
      makes mtd_block_isbad() return zero (false) if the 'block_isbad'
      function is NULL.  But that also means that now "mtd_can_have_bb()"
      always returns 0.
      
      Now, "mtd_block_markbad()" will obviously return an error if the
      low-level driver doesn't support bad blocks, so this is somewhat
      non-symmetric, but it actually makes sense if a NULL "block_isbad"
      function is considered to mean "I assume that all my blocks are always
      good".

      AT91 needed reset fixes which resulted in some minor code refactoring,
      it also adds a feature-removal for one of their platforms for 3.4.
      The USB patches have been acked by Greg K-H.

      Can be necessary if an inode gets deleted (through -ENOSPC) before being

      logfs: Propagate page parameter to __logfs_write_inode · 0bd90387
      Prasad Joshi authored
      During GC LogFS has to rewrite each valid block to a separate segment.
      Rewrite operation reads data from an old segment and writes it to a
      newly allocated segment. Since every write operation changes data
      block pointers maintained in inode, inode should also be rewritten.
      
      In GC path to avoid AB-BA deadlock LogFS marks a page with
      PG_pre_locked in addition to locking the page (PG_locked). The page
      lock is ignored iff the page is pre-locked.
      
      LogFS uses a special file called segment file. The segment file
      maintains an 8 bytes entry for every segment. It keeps track of erase
      count, level etc. for every segment.
      
      Bad things happen with a segment belonging to the segment file is GCed

      The patch passes locked page to __logfs_write_inode. It calls function
      logfs_get_wblocks() to pre-lock the page. This ensures any further
      attempts to lock the page are ignored (esp from get_erase_count).

      logfs: set superblock shutdown flag after generic sb shutdown · ecfd8909
      Prasad Joshi authored
      While unmounting the file system LogFS calls generic_shutdown_super.
      The function does file system independent superblock shutdown.
      However, it might result in call file system specific inode eviction.
      
      LogFS marks FS shutting down by setting bit LOGFS_SB_FLAG_SHUTDOWN in
      super->s_flags. Since, inode eviction might call truncate on inode,
      following BUG is observed when file system is unmounted:

      logfs: take write mutex lock during fsync and sync · 13ced29c

      This is a bad one.  I wonder whether we were so far protected by
      no_free_segments(sb) usually being smaller than LOGFS_NO_AREAS.

      logfs: update page reference count for pined pages · 96150606
      Prasad Joshi authored
      LogFS sets PG_private flag to indicate a pined page. We assumed that
      marking a page as private is enough to ensure its existence. But
      instead it is necessary to hold a reference count to the page.
      
      The change resolves the following BUG
      
      BUG: Bad page state in process flush-253:16  pfn:6a6d0

      net caif: Register properly as a pernet subsystem. · 8a8ee9af
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      caif is a subsystem and as such it needs to register with
      register_pernet_subsys instead of register_pernet_device.
      
      Among other problems using register_pernet_device was resulting in
      net_generic being called before the caif_net structure was allocated.
      Which has been causing net_generic to fail with either BUG_ON's or by
      return NULL pointers.
      
      A more ugly problem that could be caused is packets in flight why the
      subsystem is shutting down.
      
      To remove confusion also remove the cruft cause by inappropriately
      trying to fix this bug.
      
      With the aid of the previous patch I have tested this patch and
      confirmed that using register_pernet_subsys makes the failure go away as
      it should.
