Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull vfs fix from Al Viro: "Off-by-one in d_walk()/__dentry_kill() race fix. It's very hard to hit; possible in the same conditions as the original bug, except that you need the skipped branch to contain all the remaining evictables, so that the d_walk()-calling loop in d_invalidate() decides there's nothing more to do and doesn't go for another pass - otherwise that next pass will sweep the sucker. So it's not too urgent, but seeing that the fix is obvious and the original commit has spread into all -stable branches..." * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: d_walk() might skip too much
