      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull iov_iter updates from Al Viro:
       "More iov_iter work - missing counterpart of iov_iter_init() for
        bvec-backed ones and vfs_read_iter()/vfs_write_iter() - wrappers for
        sync calls of ->read_iter()/->write_iter()"
      
      * 'iov_iter' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
        fs: add vfs_iter_{read,write} helpers
        new helper: iov_iter_bvec()

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull getname/putname updates from Al Viro:
       "Rework of getname/getname_kernel/etc., mostly from Paul Moore.  Gets
        rid of quite a pile of kludges between namei and audit..."
      
      * 'getname2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
        audit: replace getname()/putname() hacks with reference counters
        audit: fix filename matching in __audit_inode() and __audit_inode_child()
        audit: enable filename recording via getname_kernel()
        simpler calling conventions for filename_mountpoint()
        fs: create proper filename objects using getname_kernel()
        fs: rework getname_kernel to handle up to PATH_MAX sized filenames
        cut down the number of do_path_lookup() callers

      Merge branch 'debugfs_automount' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs · c6b1de1b
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull debugfs patches from Al Viro:
       "debugfs patches, mostly to make it possible for something like tracefs
        to be transparently automounted on given directory in debugfs.
      
        New primitive in there is debugfs_create_automount(name, parent, func,
        arg), which creates a directory and makes its ->d_automount() return
        func(arg).  Another missing primitive was debugfs_create_file_size() -
        open-coded in quite a few places.  Dave's patch adds it and converts
        the open-code instances to calling it"
      
      * 'debugfs_automount' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
        debugfs: Provide a file creation function that also takes an initial size
        new primitive: debugfs_create_automount()
        debugfs: split end_creating() into success and failure cases
        debugfs: take mode-dependent parts of debugfs_get_inode() into callers
        fold debugfs_mknod() into callers
        fold debugfs_create() into caller
        fold debugfs_mkdir() into caller
        debugfs_mknod(): get rid useless arguments
        fold debugfs_link() into caller
        debugfs: kill __create_file()
        debugfs: split the beginning and the end of __create_file() off
        debugfs_{mkdir,create,link}(): get rid of redundant argument

      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()
