Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs-2.6

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs-2.6: (34 commits) nfsd race fixes: jfs nfsd race fixes: reiserfs nfsd race fixes: ext4 nfsd race fixes: ext3 nfsd race fixes: ext2 nfsd/create race fixes, infrastructure filesystem notification: create fs/notify to contain all fs notification fs/block_dev.c: __read_mostly improvement and sb_is_blkdev_sb utilization kill ->dir_notify() filp_cachep can be static in fs/file_table.c fix f_count description in Documentation/filesystems/files.txt make INIT_FS use the __RW_LOCK_UNLOCKED initialization take init_fs to saner place kill vfs_permission pass a struct path * to may_open kill walk_init_root remove incorrect comment in inode_permission expand some comments (d_path / seq_path) correct wrong function name of d_put in kernel document and source comment fix switch_names() breakage in short-to-short case ...
