Merge tag 'pull-set_blocksize' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull vfs blocksize updates from Al Viro: "This gets rid of bogus set_blocksize() uses, switches it over to be based on a 'struct file *' and verifies that the caller has the device opened exclusively" * tag 'pull-set_blocksize' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: make set_blocksize() fail unless block device is opened exclusive set_blocksize(): switch to passing struct file * btrfs_get_bdev_and_sb(): call set_blocksize() only for exclusive opens swsusp: don't bother with setting block size zram: don't bother with reopening - just use O_EXCL for open swapon(2): open swap with O_EXCL swapon(2)/swapoff(2): don't bother with block size pktcdvd: sort set_blocksize() calls out bcache_register(): don't bother with set_blocksize()
