Jens Axboe hit a bug in fallocate, I've pushed that fix out today as
well.  Updated shortlog/diffstat:


Chris Mason (5):
      Btrfs: use WRITE_SYNC for synchronous writes
      Btrfs: add a priority queue to the async thread helpers
      Btrfs: fix oops on page->mapping->host during writepage
      Btrfs: use the right node in reada_for_balance
      Btrfs: fix btrfs fallocate oops and deadlock
