Merge branch 'work.dotdot1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull vfs pathwalk sanitizing from Al Viro:
"Massive pathwalk rewrite and cleanups.
Several iterations have been posted; hopefully this thing is getting
readable and understandable now. Pretty much all parts of pathname
resolutions are affected...
The branch is identical to what has sat in -next, except for commit
message in "lift all calls of step_into() out of follow_dotdot/
follow_dotdot_rcu", crediting Qian Cai for reporting the bug; only
commit message changed there."
* 'work.dotdot1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (69 commits)
lookup_open(): don't bother with fallbacks to lookup+create
atomic_open(): no need to pass struct open_flags anymore
open_last_lookups(): move complete_walk() into do_open()
open_last_lookups(): lift O_EXCL|O_CREAT handling into do_open()
open_last_lookups(): don't abuse complete_walk() when all we want is unlazy
open_last_lookups(): consolidate fsnotify_create() calls
take post-lookup part of do_last() out of loop
link_path_walk(): sample parent's i_uid and i_mode for the last component
__nd_alloc_stack(): make it return bool
reserve_stack(): switch to __nd_alloc_stack()
pick_link(): take reserving space on stack into a new helper
pick_link(): more straightforward handling of allocation failures
fold path_to_nameidata() into its only remaining caller
pick_link(): pass it struct path already with normal refcounting rules
fs/namei.c: kill follow_mount()
non-RCU analogue of the previous commit
helper for mount rootwards traversal
follow_dotdot(): be lazy about changing nd->path
follow_dotdot_rcu(): be lazy about changing nd->path
follow_dotdot{,_rcu}(): massage loops
