[GIT PULL -mm] 00/17 Unionfs updates/fixes/cleanups
The following is a series of patchsets related to Unionfs. The most
significant changes are several fixes to races/locking. This release also
supports newer APIs in 2.6.25-rc: not using iget/read_inode, using the
changed d_path, using the revised nameidata which embeds a struct path, and
using path_get/put.
These patches were tested (where appropriate) on 2.6.25, MM, as well as the
backports to 2.6.{24,23,22,21,20,19,18,9} on ext2/3/4, xfs, reiserfs,
nfs2/3/4, jffs2, ramfs, tmpfs, cramfs, and squashfs (where available). Also
tested with LTP-full and with a continuous parallel kernel compile (while
forcing cache flushing, manipulating lower branches, etc.). See
http://unionfs.filesystems.org/ to download back-ported unionfs code.
Please pull from the 'master' branch of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ezk/unionfs.git
to receive the following:
Andrew Morton (1):
Unionfs: embed a struct path into struct nameidata instead of nd dentrymnt
David Howells (1):
Unionfs: stop using iget() and read_inode()
Erez Zadok (14):
Unionfs: grab lower super_block references
Unionfs: ensure consistent lower inodes types
Unionfs: document behavior when the lower topology changes
Unionfs: uninline unionfs_copy_attr_times and unionfs_copy_attr_all
Unionfs: initialize path_save variable
Unionfs: extend dentry branch configuration lock in open
Unionfs: follow_link locking fixes
Unionfs: improve debugging in copy_attr_times
Unionfs: revalidation code cleanup and refactoring
Unionfs: factor out revalidation routine
