Merge branch 'master' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux
Resolved conflicts:
fs/xfs/xfs_trans_priv.h:
- deleted struct xfs_ail field xa_flags
- kept field xa_log_flush in struct xfs_ail
fs/xfs/xfs_trans_ail.c:
- in xfsaild_push(), in XFS_ITEM_PUSHBUF case, replaced
"flush_log = 1" with "ailp->xa_log_flush++"
