* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs-2.6: inotify: fix type errors in interfaces fix breakage in reiserfs_new_inode() fix the treatment of jfs special inodes vfs: remove duplicate code in get_fs_type() add a vfs_fsync helper sys_execve and sys_uselib do not call into fsnotify zero i_uid/i_gid on inode allocation inode->i_op is never NULL ntfs: don't NULL i_op isofs check for NULL ->i_op in root directory is dead code affs: do not zero ->i_op kill suid bit only for regular files vfs: lseek(fd, 0, SEEK_CUR) race condition
