* 'for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jack/linux-fs-2.6: (33 commits) quota: stop using QUOTA_OK / NO_QUOTA dquot: cleanup dquot initialize routine dquot: move dquot initialization responsibility into the filesystem dquot: cleanup dquot drop routine dquot: move dquot drop responsibility into the filesystem dquot: cleanup dquot transfer routine dquot: move dquot transfer responsibility into the filesystem dquot: cleanup inode allocation / freeing routines dquot: cleanup space allocation / freeing routines ext3: add writepage sanity checks ext3: Truncate allocated blocks if direct IO write fails to update i_size quota: Properly invalidate caches even for filesystems with blocksize < pagesize quota: generalize quota transfer interface quota: sb_quota state flags cleanup jbd: Delay discarding buffers in journal_unmap_buffer ext3: quota_write cross block boundary behaviour quota: drop permission checks from xfs_fs_set_xstate/xfs_fs_set_xquota quota: split out compat_sys_quotactl support from quota.c quota: split out netlink notification support from quota.c quota: remove invalid optimization from quota_sync_all ... Fixed trivial conflicts in fs/namei.c and fs/ufs/inode.c
