Revision 83373f702829dd9f6dcc56d275978d986fafee48 authored by Linus Torvalds on 15 September 2014, 00:37:36 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 15 September 2014, 00:37:36 UTC 
Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
 
Pull vfs fixes from Al Viro:
 "double iput() on failure exit in lustre, racy removal of spliced
  dentries from ->s_anon in __d_materialise_dentry() plus a bunch of
  assorted RCU pathwalk fixes"

The RCU pathwalk fixes end up fixing a couple of cases where we
incorrectly dropped out of RCU walking, due to incorrect initialization
and testing of the sequence locks in some corner cases.  Since dropping
out of RCU walk mode forces the slow locked accesses, those corner cases
slowed down quite dramatically.

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  be careful with nd->inode in path_init() and follow_dotdot_rcu()
  don't bugger nd->seq on set_root_rcu() from follow_dotdot_rcu()
  fix bogus read_seqretry() checks introduced in b37199e
  move the call of __d_drop(anon) into __d_materialise_unique(dentry, anon)
  [fix] lustre: d_make_root() does iput() on dentry allocation failure
