    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull misc VFS updates from Al Viro:
     "This cycle a lot of stuff sits on topical branches, so I'll be sending
      more or less one pull request per branch.
    
      This is the first pile; more to follow in a few.  In this one are
      several misc commits from early in the cycle (before I went for
      separate branches), plus the rework of mntput/dput ordering on umount,
      switching to use of fs_pin instead of convoluted games in
      namespace_unlock()"
    
    * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
      switch the IO-triggering parts of umount to fs_pin
      new fs_pin killing logics
      allow attaching fs_pin to a group not associated with some superblock
      get rid of the second argument of acct_kill()
      take count and rcu_head out of fs_pin
      dcache: let the dentry count go down to zero without taking d_lock
      pull bumping refcount into ->kill()
      kill pin_put()
      mode_t whack-a-mole: chelsio
      file->f_path.dentry is pinned down for as long as the file is open...
      get rid of lustre_dump_dentry()
      gut proc_register() a bit
      kill d_validate()
      ncpfs: get rid of d_validate() nonsense
      selinuxfs: don't open-code d_genocide()
