Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull vfs fixes from Al Viro: "atomic_open-related fixes (Miklos' series, with EEXIST-related parts replaced with fix in fs/namei.c:atomic_open() instead of messing with the instances) + race fix in autofs + leak on failure exit in 9p" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: 9p: don't forget to destroy inode cache if fscache registration fails atomic_open: take care of EEXIST in no-open case with O_CREAT|O_EXCL in fs/namei.c vfs: don't set FILE_CREATED before calling ->atomic_open() nfs: set FILE_CREATED gfs2: set FILE_CREATED cifs: fix filp leak in cifs_atomic_open() vfs: improve i_op->atomic_open() documentation autofs4: close the races around autofs4_notify_daemon()
