Subject: kill check_acl callback of generic_permission()

its value depends only on inode and does not change; we might as
well store it in ->i_op->check_acl and be done with that.

Subject: fs: push i_mutex and filemap_write_and_wait down into ->fsync()
 handlers

Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called
in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and
the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the ->fsync() handlers.  Some
file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and
ocfs2.  For correctness sake I just pushed everything down in all cases to make
sure that we keep the current behavior the same for everybody, and then each
individual fs maintainer can make up their mind about what to do from there.
Thanks,

From 4e34e719e457f2e031297175410fc0bd4016a085 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
Date: Sat, 23 Jul 2011 17:37:31 +0200
Subject: fs: take the ACL checks to common code

Replace the ->check_acl method with a ->get_acl method that simply reads an
ACL from disk after having a cache miss.  This means we can replace the ACL
checking boilerplate code with a single implementation in namei.c.
