Fio 2.0.15 tagged

[Jens Axboe]

Hi,

As you may have noticed in the automated daily commit mailing, version
2.0.15 of fio was tagged yesterday. In no particular order, the changes
and new features are:

- Various fixes to Android, both on the build front (better integration
  and cross-build support) and adding IO priority support as well. This
  from Aaron Carroll.

- The newly introduced LFSR support was overhauled, switching to a
  galois based one which is more suitable. From Alex Pyrgiotis.

- A new --eta-newline command line parameter was added. This is mostly
  useful for long running jobs, where you want a new line in there every
  x amount of time. Gives you a visual clue on how the job rates change
  over time, for the cases where you don't really want or need full
  logging.

- Addition of a --parse-only command line option. Checks the validity of
  a job, without actually running it.

- A few fixes for Solaris/SunOS, fixing the net engine nodelay pickup
  and man page installation.

- A fix for a bug where fio would re-run a job section.

- Rework of the shared file locking, should work better now.

- A bug in the random map where the minimum and maximum block sizes
  differed by more than a factor 64.

- Fix for a bug that could cause skewed latencies if rate_iops= was
  used. From SEOKYOUNG KO.

- Fix bandwidth output being all zeroes with the json output format
  selected.

- CPU clock fixes, notably for powerpc.

All users of 2.x should upgrade.
