    Merge branch 'work.mount' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs · 7b47a9e7
    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull vfs mount infrastructure updates from Al Viro:
     "The rest of core infrastructure; no new syscalls in that pile, but the
      old parts are switched to new infrastructure. At that point
      conversions of individual filesystems can happen independently; some
      are done here (afs, cgroup, procfs, etc.), there's also a large series
      outside of that pile dealing with NFS (quite a bit of option-parsing
      stuff is getting used there - it's one of the most convoluted
      filesystems in terms of mount-related logics), but NFS bits are the
      next cycle fodder.
    
      It got seriously simplified since the last cycle; documentation is
      probably the weakest bit at the moment - I considered dropping the
      commit introducing Documentation/filesystems/mount_api.txt (cutting
      the size increase by quarter ;-), but decided that it would be better
      to fix it up after -rc1 instead.
    
      That pile allows to do followup work in independent branches, which
      should make life much easier for the next cycle. fs/super.c size
      increase is unpleasant; there's a followup series that allows to
      shrink it considerably, but I decided to leave that until the next
      cycle"
