Merge tag 'gfs2-4.11.fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gfs2/linux-gfs2

Pull GFS2 updates from Robert Peterson:
 "We've got eight GFS2 patches for this merge window:

   - Andy Price submitted a patch to make gfs2_write_full_page a static
     function.

   - Dan Carpenter submitted a patch to fix a ERR_PTR thinko.

  Three patches fix bugs related to deleting very large files, which
  cause GFS2 to run out of journal space:

   - The first one prevents GFS2 delete operation from requesting too
     much journal space.

   - The second one fixes a problem whereby GFS2 can hang because it
     wasn't taking journal space demand into its calculations.

   - The third one wakes up IO waiters when a flush is done to restart
     processes stuck waiting for journal space to become available.

  The final three patches are a performance improvement related to
  spin_lock contention between multiple writers:

   - The "tr_touched" variable was switched to a flag to be more atomic
     and eliminate the possibility of some races.

   - Function meta_lo_add was moved inline with its only caller to make
     the code more readable and efficient.

   - Contention on the gfs2_log_lock spinlock was greatly reduced by
     avoiding the lock altogether in cases where we don't really need
     it: buffers that already appear in the appropriate metadata list
     for the journal. Many thanks to Steve Whitehouse for the ideas and
     principles behind these patches"
