Subject: [GIT PULL] Btrfs fixes for 2.6.38

Hi everyone,

We've been working on a few important Btrfs regressions for the last two
weeks, and this pull request has the result.  Many thanks to Mitch
Harder and Xin Zhong for nailing down the btrfs_file_write looping.

Linus, please pull the master branch of the btrfs unstable tree:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mason/btrfs-unstable.git master

These commits keep btrfs_file_write from looping forever when things go
wrong with copy_from_user, and they also make sure not to produce
partially up to date pages if copy_from_user gives us a short return.

Hammering on btrfs fiemap found another bug where we returned
overlapping extents, which made for incorrect results with the cp
program (destination files larger than the original).

This pull also has a commit to tweak our forced delalloc writeback while
we are trying to reclaim space.  With a number of writers determined to
fill the FS, we used to end up stuck in shrink_delalloc forever.
