    Merge branch 'work.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs · 6784725a
    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull vfs updates from Al Viro:
     "Assorted cleanups and fixes.
    
      Probably the most interesting part long-term is ->d_init() - that will
      have a bunch of followups in (at least) ceph and lustre, but we'll
      need to sort the barrier-related rules before it can get used for
      really non-trivial stuff.
    
      Another fun thing is the merge of ->d_iput() callers (dentry_iput()
      and dentry_unlink_inode()) and a bunch of ->d_compare() ones (all
      except the one in __d_lookup_lru())"
