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: (52 commits) init: Open /dev/console from rootfs mqueue: fix typo "failues" -> "failures" mqueue: only set error codes if they are really necessary mqueue: simplify do_open() error handling mqueue: apply mathematics distributivity on mq_bytes calculation mqueue: remove unneeded info->messages initialization mqueue: fix mq_open() file descriptor leak on user-space processes fix race in d_splice_alias() set S_DEAD on unlink() and non-directory rename() victims vfs: add NOFOLLOW flag to umount(2) get rid of ->mnt_parent in tomoyo/realpath hppfs can use existing proc_mnt, no need for do_kern_mount() in there Mirror MS_KERNMOUNT in ->mnt_flags get rid of useless vfsmount_lock use in put_mnt_ns() Take vfsmount_lock to fs/internal.h get rid of insanity with namespace roots in tomoyo take check for new events in namespace (guts of mounts_poll()) to namespace.c Don't mess with generic_permission() under ->d_lock in hpfs sanitize const/signedness for udf nilfs: sanitize const/signedness in dealing with ->d_name.name ... Fix up fairly trivial (famous last words...) conflicts in drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_main.c and security/tomoyo/realpath.c
