Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull vfs pile 4 from Al Viro:
"list_lru pile, mostly"
This came out of Andrew's pile, Al ended up doing the merge work so that
Andrew didn't have to.
Additionally, a few fixes.
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (42 commits)
super: fix for destroy lrus
list_lru: dynamically adjust node arrays
shrinker: Kill old ->shrink API.
shrinker: convert remaining shrinkers to count/scan API
staging/lustre/libcfs: cleanup linux-mem.h
staging/lustre/ptlrpc: convert to new shrinker API
staging/lustre/obdclass: convert lu_object shrinker to count/scan API
staging/lustre/ldlm: convert to shrinkers to count/scan API
hugepage: convert huge zero page shrinker to new shrinker API
i915: bail out earlier when shrinker cannot acquire mutex
drivers: convert shrinkers to new count/scan API
fs: convert fs shrinkers to new scan/count API
xfs: fix dquot isolation hang
xfs-convert-dquot-cache-lru-to-list_lru-fix
xfs: convert dquot cache lru to list_lru
xfs: rework buffer dispose list tracking
xfs-convert-buftarg-lru-to-generic-code-fix
xfs: convert buftarg LRU to generic code
fs: convert inode and dentry shrinking to be node aware
vmscan: per-node deferred work
