    Merge branch 'work.dotdot1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs · 9c577491
    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull vfs pathwalk sanitizing from Al Viro:
     "Massive pathwalk rewrite and cleanups.
    
      Several iterations have been posted; hopefully this thing is getting
      readable and understandable now. Pretty much all parts of pathname
      resolutions are affected...
    
      The branch is identical to what has sat in -next, except for commit
      message in "lift all calls of step_into() out of follow_dotdot/
      follow_dotdot_rcu", crediting Qian Cai for reporting the bug; only
      commit message changed there."
