Merge tag 'for-linus-20160304' of git://git.infradead.org/linux-mtd
Pull jffs2 fixes from David Woodhouse: "This contains two important JFFS2 fixes marked for stable: - a lock ordering problem between the page lock and the internal f->sem mutex, which was causing occasional deadlocks in garbage collection - a scan failure causing moved directories to sometimes end up appearing to have hard links. There are also a couple of trivial MAINTAINERS file updates" * tag 'for-linus-20160304' of git://git.infradead.org/linux-mtd: MAINTAINERS: add maintainer entry for FREESCALE GPMI NAND driver Fix directory hardlinks from deleted directories jffs2: Fix page lock / f->sem deadlock Revert "jffs2: Fix lock acquisition order bug in jffs2_write_begin" MAINTAINERS: update Han's email

JFFS2 LOCKING DOCUMENTATION
---------------------------
-At least theoretically, JFFS2 does not require the Big Kernel Lock
-(BKL), which was always helpfully obtained for it by Linux 2.4 VFS
-code. It has its own locking, as described below.
-
This document attempts to describe the existing locking rules for
JFFS2. It is not expected to remain perfectly up to date, but ought to
be fairly close.
@@ -69,6 +65,7 @@ Ordering constraints:
any f->sem held.
2. Never attempt to lock two file mutexes in one thread.
No ordering rules have been made for doing so.
+ 3. Never lock a page cache page with f->sem held.
