    Merge branch 'work.dcache2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs · 18253e03
    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull dcache and mountpoint updates from Al Viro:
     "Saner handling of refcounts to mountpoints.
    
      Transfer the counting reference from struct mount ->mnt_mountpoint
      over to struct mountpoint ->m_dentry. That allows us to get rid of the
      convoluted games with ordering of mount shutdowns.
    
      The cost is in teaching shrink_dcache_{parent,for_umount} to cope with
      mixed-filesystem shrink lists, which we'll also need for the Slab
      Movable Objects patchset"
    
    * 'work.dcache2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
      switch the remnants of releasing the mountpoint away from fs_pin
      get rid of detach_mnt()
      make struct mountpoint bear the dentry reference to mountpoint, not struct mount
      Teach shrink_dcache_parent() to cope with mixed-filesystem shrink lists
      fs/namespace.c: shift put_mountpoint() to callers of unhash_mnt()
      __detach_mounts(): lookup_mountpoint() can't return ERR_PTR() anymore
      nfs: dget_parent() never returns NULL
      ceph: don't open-code the check for dead lockref
