* 'for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4: (60 commits)
  ext4: prevent memory leaks from ext4_mb_init_backend() on error path
  ext4: use EXT4_BAD_INO for buddy cache to avoid colliding with valid inode #
  ext4: use ext4_msg() instead of printk in mballoc
  ext4: use ext4_kvzalloc()/ext4_kvmalloc() for s_group_desc and s_group_info
  ext4: introduce ext4_kvmalloc(), ext4_kzalloc(), and ext4_kvfree()
  ext4: use the correct error exit path in ext4_init_inode_table()
  ext4: add missing kfree() on error return path in add_new_gdb()
  ext4: change umode_t in tracepoint headers to be an explicit __u16
  ext4: fix races in ext4_sync_parent()
  ext4: Fix overflow caused by missing cast in ext4_fallocate()
  ext4: add action of moving index in ext4_ext_rm_idx for Punch Hole
  ext4: simplify parameters of reserve_backup_gdb()
  ext4: simplify parameters of add_new_gdb()
  ext4: remove lock_buffer in bclean() and setup_new_group_blocks()
  ext4: simplify journal handling in setup_new_group_blocks()
  ext4: let setup_new_group_blocks() set multiple bits at a time
  ext4: fix a typo in ext4_group_extend()
  ext4: let ext4_group_add_blocks() handle 0 blocks quickly
  ext4: let ext4_group_add_blocks() return an error code
  ext4: rename ext4_add_groupblocks() to ext4_group_add_blocks()
  ...

Fix up conflict in fs/ext4/inode.c: commit aacfc19c626e ("fs: simplify
the blockdev_direct_IO prototype") had changed the ext4_ind_direct_IO()
function for the new simplified calling convention, while commit
dae1e52cb126 ("ext4: move ext4_ind_* functions from inode.c to
indirect.c") moved the function to another file.
