The highlights are:
* RADOS namespace support in libceph and CephFS (Zheng Yan and myself).
The stopgaps added in 4.5 to deny access to inodes in namespaces are
removed and CEPH_FEATURE_FS_FILE_LAYOUT_V2 feature bit is now fully
supported.
* A large rework of the MDS cap flushing code (Zheng Yan).
* Handle some of ->d_revalidate() in RCU mode (Jeff Layton). We were
overly pessimistic before, bailing at the first sight of LOOKUP_RCU.
On top of that we've got a few CephFS bug fixes, a couple of cleanups
and Arnd's workaround for a weird genksyms issue.
ceph: fix symbol versioning for ceph_monc_do_statfs
The genksyms helper in the kernel cannot parse a type definition
like "typeof(((type *)0)->keyfld)" that is used in the DEFINE_RB_FUNCS
helper, causing the following EXPORT_SYMBOL() statement to be ignored
when computing the crcs, and triggering a warning about this:
WARNING: "ceph_monc_do_statfs" [fs/ceph/ceph.ko] has no CRC
To work around the problem, we can rewrite the type to reference
an undefined 'extern' symbol instead of a NULL pointer. This is
evidently ok for genksyms, and it no longer complains about the
line when calling it with 'genksyms -w'.
I've looked briefly into extending genksyms instead, but it seems
really hard to do. Jan Beulich introduced basic support for 'typeof'
a while ago in dc53324060f3 ("genksyms: fix typeof() handling"),
but that is not sufficient for the expression we have here.
