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: (23 commits) switch xfs to generic acl caching helpers helpers for acl caching + switch to those switch shmem to inode->i_acl switch reiserfs to inode->i_acl switch reiserfs to usual conventions for caching ACLs reiserfs: minimal fix for ACL caching switch nilfs2 to inode->i_acl switch btrfs to inode->i_acl switch jffs2 to inode->i_acl switch jfs to inode->i_acl switch ext4 to inode->i_acl switch ext3 to inode->i_acl switch ext2 to inode->i_acl add caching of ACLs in struct inode fs: Add new pre-allocation ioctls to vfs for compatibility with legacy xfs ioctls cleanup __writeback_single_inode ... and the same for vfsmount id/mount group id Make allocation of anon devices cheaper update Documentation/filesystems/Locking devpts: remove module-related code ...
