Merge tag 'xfs-for-linus-4.7-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dgc/linux-xfs

Pull xfs updates from Dave Chinner:
 "A pretty average collection of fixes, cleanups and improvements in
  this request.

  Summary:
   - fixes for mount line parsing, sparse warnings, read-only compat
     feature remount behaviour
   - allow fast path symlink lookups for inline symlinks.
   - attribute listing cleanups
   - writeback goes direct to bios rather than indirecting through
     bufferheads
   - transaction allocation cleanup
   - optimised kmem_realloc
   - added configurable error handling for metadata write errors,
     changed default error handling behaviour from "retry forever" to
     "retry until unmount then fail"
   - fixed several inode cluster writeback lookup vs reclaim race
     conditions
   - fixed inode cluster writeback checking wrong inode after lookup
   - fixed bugs where struct xfs_inode freeing wasn't actually RCU safe
   - cleaned up inode reclaim tagging"
