Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs-2.6

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs-2.6: (22 commits)
  Fix the race between capifs remount and node creation
  Fix races around the access to ->s_options
  switch ufs directories to ufs_sync_file()
  Switch open_exec() and sys_uselib() to do_open_filp()
  Make open_exec() and sys_uselib() use may_open(), instead of duplicating its parts
  Reduce path_lookup() abuses
  Make checkpatch.pl shut up on fs/inode.c
  NULL noise in fs/super.c:kill_bdev_super()
  romfs: cleanup romfs_fs.h
  ROMFS: romfs_dev_read() error ignored
  fs: dcache fix LRU ordering
  ocfs2: Use nd_set_link().
  Fix deadlock in ipathfs ->get_sb()
  Fix a leak in failure exit in 9p ->get_sb()
  Convert obvious places to deactivate_locked_super()
  New helper: deactivate_locked_super()
  reiserfs: remove privroot hiding in lookup
  reiserfs: dont associate security.* with xattr files
  reiserfs: fixup xattr_root caching
  Always lookup priv_root on reiserfs mount and keep it
