Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull d_inode/d_flags race fix from Al Viro.
I love this fix. Not only does it fix the race in the dentry type
handling, it entirely gets rid of the nasty and subtle memory ordering
rules for d_type and d_inode, and replaces them with the basic dentry
locking rules (sequence numbers under RCU, d_lock elsewhere).
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
use ->d_seq to get coherency between ->d_inode and ->d_flags
