Merge branch 'for-linus-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull vfs updates from Al Viro:
"In this pile: pathname resolution rewrite.
- recursion in link_path_walk() is gone.
- nesting limits on symlinks are gone (the only limit remaining is
that the total amount of symlinks is no more than 40, no matter how
nested).
- "fast" (inline) symlinks are handled without leaving rcuwalk mode.
- stack footprint (independent of the nesting) is below kilobyte now,
about on par with what it used to be with one level of nested
symlinks and ~2.8 times lower than it used to be in the worst case.
- struct nameidata is entirely private to fs/namei.c now (not even
opaque pointers are being passed around).
- ->follow_link() and ->put_link() calling conventions had been
changed; all in-tree filesystems converted, out-of-tree should be
able to follow reasonably easily.
For out-of-tree conversions, see Documentation/filesystems/porting
for details (and in-tree filesystems for examples of conversion).
That has sat in -next since mid-May, seems to survive all testing
without regressions and merges clean with v4.1"
