The two highlights are a set of improvements to how rbd read-only
mappings are handled and a conversion to the new mount API (slightly
complicated by the fact that we had a common option parsing framework
that called out into rbd and the filesystem instead of them calling
into it). Also included a few scattered fixes and a MAINTAINERS update
for rbd, adding Dongsheng as a reviewer.
libceph, rbd, ceph: convert to use the new mount API
Convert the ceph filesystem to the new internal mount API as the old
one will be obsoleted and removed. This allows greater flexibility in
communication of mount parameters between userspace, the VFS and the
filesystem.
See Documentation/filesystems/mount_api.txt for more information.
[ Numerous string handling, leak and regression fixes; rbd conversion
was particularly broken and had to be redone almost from scratch. ]
