Subject: [PATCH v3 0/4] vfs: Use dlock list for SB's s_inodes list

v2->v3:
 - Remove the 2 persubnode API patches.
 - Merge __percpu tag patch 2 into patch 1.
 - As suggested by Tejun Heo, restructure the dlock_list_head data
   structure to hide the __percpu tag and rename some of the functions
   and structures.
 - Move most of the code from dlock_list.h to dlock_list.c and export
   the symbols.

v1->v2:
 - Add a set of simple per-subnode APIs that is between percpu and
   per-node in granularity.
 - Make dlock list to use the per-subnode APIs so as to reduce the
   total number of separate linked list that needs to be managed
   and iterated.
 - There is no change in patches 1-5.

This is a follow up of the following patchset:

  [PATCH v7 0/4] vfs: Use per-cpu list for SB's s_inodes list
  https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/4/12/1009

The main change is the renaming of percpu list to dlock list, as
suggested by Christoph Lameter. It also adds a new patch from Boqun
Feng to add the __percpu modifier for parameters.

Patch 1 introduces the dlock list.

Patch 2 cleans up the fsnotify_unmount_inodes() function by making
the code simpler and more standard.

Patch 3 replaces the use of list_for_each_entry_safe() in
evict_inodes() and invalidate_inodes() by list_for_each_entry().

Patch 4 modifies the superblock and inode structures to use the dlock
list. The corresponding functions that reference those structures
are modified.

Jan Kara (2):
  fsnotify: Simplify inode iteration on umount
  vfs: Remove unnecessary list_for_each_entry_safe() variants

Waiman Long (2):
  lib/dlock-list: Distributed and lock-protected lists
  vfs: Use dlock list for superblock's inode list
