* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs-2.6:
truncate: use new helpers
truncate: new helpers
fs: fix overflow in sys_mount() for in-kernel calls
fs: Make unload_nls() NULL pointer safe
freeze_bdev: grab active reference to frozen superblocks
freeze_bdev: kill bd_mount_sem
exofs: remove BKL from super operations
fs/romfs: correct error-handling code
vfs: seq_file: add helpers for data filling
vfs: remove redundant position check in do_sendfile
vfs: change sb->s_maxbytes to a loff_t
vfs: explicitly cast s_maxbytes in fiemap_check_ranges
libfs: return error code on failed attr set
seq_file: return a negative error code when seq_path_root() fails.
vfs: optimize touch_time() too
vfs: optimization for touch_atime()
vfs: split generic_forget_inode() so that hugetlbfs does not have to copy it
fs/inode.c: add dev-id and inode number for debugging in init_special_inode()
libfs: make simple_read_from_buffer conventional
