Pull vfs update from Al Viro:

 - big one - consolidation of descriptor-related logics; almost all of
   that is moved to fs/file.c

   (BTW, I'm seriously tempted to rename the result to fd.c.  As it is,
   we have a situation when file_table.c is about handling of struct
   file and file.c is about handling of descriptor tables; the reasons
   are historical - file_table.c used to be about a static array of
   struct file we used to have way back).

   A lot of stray ends got cleaned up and converted to saner primitives,
   disgusting mess in android/binder.c is still disgusting, but at least
   doesn't poke so much in descriptor table guts anymore.  A bunch of
   relatively minor races got fixed in process, plus an ext4 struct file
   leak.

 - related thing - fget_light() partially unuglified; see fdget() in
   there (and yes, it generates the code as good as we used to have).

 - also related - bits of Cyrill's procfs stuff that got entangled into
   that work; _not_ all of it, just the initial move to fs/proc/fd.c and
   switch of fdinfo to seq_file.

 - Alex's fs/coredump.c spiltoff - the same story, had been easier to
   take that commit than mess with conflicts.  The rest is a separate
   pile, this was just a mechanical code movement.

 - a few misc patches all over the place.  Not all for this cycle,
   there'll be more (and quite a few currently sit in akpm's tree)."

Fix up trivial conflicts in the android binder driver, and some fairly
simple conflicts due to two different changes to the sock_alloc_file()
interface ("take descriptor handling from sock_alloc_file() to callers"
vs "net: Providing protocol type via system.sockprotoname xattr of
/proc/PID/fd entries" adding a dentry name to the socket)

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (72 commits)
  MAX_LFS_FILESIZE should be a loff_t
  compat: fs: Generic compat_sys_sendfile implementation
  fs: push rcu_barrier() from deactivate_locked_super() to filesystems
  btrfs: reada_extent doesn't need kref for refcount
  coredump: move core dump functionality into its own file
  coredump: prevent double-free on an error path in core dumper
  usb/gadget: fix misannotations
  fcntl: fix misannotations
  ceph: don't abuse d_delete() on failure exits

There's no reason to call rcu_barrier() on every
deactivate_locked_super().  We only need to make sure that all delayed rcu
free inodes are flushed before we destroy related cache.

Removing rcu_barrier() from deactivate_locked_super() affects some fast
paths.  E.g.  on my machine exit_group() of a last process in IPC
namespace takes 0.07538s.  rcu_barrier() takes 0.05188s of that time.

After we moved inode_sync_wait() from end_writeback() it doesn't make sense
to call the function end_writeback() anymore. Rename it to clear_inode()
which well says what the function really does - set I_CLEAR flag.

New field of struct super_block - -&gt;s_max_links.  Maximal allowed
value of -&gt;i_nlink or 0; in the latter case all checks still need
to be done in -&gt;link/-&gt;mkdir/-&gt;rename instances.  Note that this

Seeing that just about every destructor got that INIT_LIST_HEAD() copied into
it, there is no point whatsoever keeping this INIT_LIST_HEAD in inode_init_once();
the cost of taking it into inode_init_always() will be negligible for pipes
and sockets and negative for everything else.  Not to mention the removal of
boilerplate code from -&gt;destroy_inode() instances...

Newer versions of MINIX can create filesystems that allocate an extra
bitmap block.  Mounting of this succeeds, but doing a statfs call will
result in an oops in count_free because of a negative number being used
for the bh index.

Avoid this by verifying the number of allocated blocks at mount time,
erroring out if there are not enough and make statfs ignore the extras
if there are too many.

This fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18792
