Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mason/linux-btrfs

Pull btrfs fixes and features from Chris Mason:
 "We've merged in the error handling patches from SuSE.  These are
  already shipping in the sles kernel, and they give btrfs the ability
  to abort transactions and go readonly on errors.  It involves a lot of
  churn as they clarify BUG_ONs, and remove the ones we now properly
  deal with.

  Josef reworked the way our metadata interacts with the page cache.
  page->private now points to the btrfs extent_buffer object, which
  makes everything faster.  He changed it so we write an whole extent
  buffer at a time instead of allowing individual pages to go down,,
  which will be important for the raid5/6 code (for the 3.5 merge
  window ;)

  Josef also made us more aggressive about dropping pages for metadata
  blocks that were freed due to COW.  Overall, our metadata caching is
  much faster now.

  We've integrated my patch for metadata bigger than the page size.
  This allows metadata blocks up to 64KB in size.  In practice 16K and
  32K seem to work best.  For workloads with lots of metadata, this cuts
  down the size of the extent allocation tree dramatically and fragments
  much less.

  Scrub was updated to support the larger block sizes, which ended up
  being a fairly large change (thanks Stefan Behrens).

  We also have an assortment of fixes and updates, especially to the
  balancing code (Ilya Dryomov), the back ref walker (Jan Schmidt) and
  the defragging code (Liu Bo)."

Fixed up trivial conflicts in fs/btrfs/scrub.c that were just due to
removal of the second argument to k[un]map_atomic() in commit
7ac687d9.
