[git pull] last major vfs bits for -rc1

From: Al Viro
Date: Thu Mar 24 2011 - 21:38:19 EST


autofs4 fixes, inode.c work (lock-splitting). This is more or less
it for VFS stuff in this window; the rest is going to go into #for-40, and
#for-next once linux-next starts taking .40 material. There is a couple of
patches in fs/namei.c basically reordering functions and fixing comments
that might be worth pushing before -rc1, but that should be it.

FWIW, I really hope we'll have saner life this cycle; most of the
joy in the last one had come from massive fs/namei.c series conflicting
with Nick's changes *and* 4 queues hitting the same area (open-by-fhandle,
O_PATH, automounting, atomic open) that had been far beyond "let's have
topic branches and let git merge handle them"; out of those atomic open
has missed the boat, but the rest got serialized and merged. This time
around we ought to avoid that kind of nightmares, so I'm hoping for
useful #for-next. Famous last words...
