Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs-2.6
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs-2.6: (107 commits) vfs: use ERR_CAST for err-ptr tossing in lookup_instantiate_filp isofs: Remove global fs lock jffs2: fix IN_DELETE_SELF on overwriting rename() killing a directory fix IN_DELETE_SELF on overwriting rename() on ramfs et.al. mm/truncate.c: fix build for CONFIG_BLOCK not enabled fs:update the NOTE of the file_operations structure Remove dead code in dget_parent() AFS: Fix silly characters in a comment switch d_add_ci() to d_splice_alias() in "found negative" case as well simplify gfs2_lookup() jfs_lookup(): don't bother with . or .. get rid of useless dget_parent() in btrfs rename() and link() get rid of useless dget_parent() in fs/btrfs/ioctl.c fs: push i_mutex and filemap_write_and_wait down into ->fsync() handlers drivers: fix up various ->llseek() implementations fs: handle SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA properly in all fs's that define their own llseek Ext4: handle SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA generically Btrfs: implement our own ->llseek fs: add SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA flags reiserfs: make reiserfs default to barrier=flush ... Fix up trivial conflicts in fs/xfs/linux-2.6/xfs_super.c due to the new shrinker callout for the inode cache, that clashed with the xfs code to start the periodic workers later.
