* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs-2.6: (107 commits)
  vfs: use ERR_CAST for err-ptr tossing in lookup_instantiate_filp
  isofs: Remove global fs lock
  jffs2: fix IN_DELETE_SELF on overwriting rename() killing a directory
  fix IN_DELETE_SELF on overwriting rename() on ramfs et.al.
  mm/truncate.c: fix build for CONFIG_BLOCK not enabled
  fs:update the NOTE of the file_operations structure
  Remove dead code in dget_parent()
  AFS: Fix silly characters in a comment
  switch d_add_ci() to d_splice_alias() in "found negative" case as well
  simplify gfs2_lookup()
  jfs_lookup(): don't bother with . or ..
  get rid of useless dget_parent() in btrfs rename() and link()
  get rid of useless dget_parent() in fs/btrfs/ioctl.c
  fs: push i_mutex and filemap_write_and_wait down into -&gt;fsync() handlers
  drivers: fix up various -&gt;llseek() implementations
  fs: handle SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA properly in all fs's that define their own llseek
  Ext4: handle SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA generically
  Btrfs: implement our own -&gt;llseek
  fs: add SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA flags
  reiserfs: make reiserfs default to barrier=flush
  ...

Fix up trivial conflicts in fs/xfs/linux-2.6/xfs_super.c due to the new
shrinker callout for the inode cache, that clashed with the xfs code to
start the periodic workers later.

Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called
in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and
the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the -&gt;fsync() handlers.  Some
file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and
ocfs2.  For correctness sake I just pushed everything down in all cases to make
sure that we keep the current behavior the same for everybody, and then each
individual fs maintainer can make up their mind about what to do from there.
Thanks,

<title>net: remove mm.h inclusion from netdevice.h</title>

Remove linux/mm.h inclusion from netdevice.h -- it's unused (I've checked manually).

To prevent mm.h inclusion via other channels also extract "enum dma_data_direction"
definition into separate header. This tiny piece is what gluing netdevice.h with mm.h
via "netdevice.h =&gt; dmaengine.h =&gt; dma-mapping.h =&gt; scatterlist.h =&gt; mm.h".
Removal of mm.h from scatterlist.h was tried and was found not feasible
on most archs, so the link was cutoff earlier.

Hope people are OK with tiny include file.

Note, that mm_types.h is still dragged in, but it is a separate story.

Commit e66eed651fd1 ("list: remove prefetching from regular list
iterators") removed the include of prefetch.h from list.h, which
uncovered several cases that had apparently relied on that rather
obscure header file dependency.

So this fixes things up a bit, using

   grep -L linux/prefetch.h $(git grep -l '[^a-z_]prefetchw*(' -- '*.[ch]')
   grep -L 'prefetchw*(' $(git grep -l 'linux/prefetch.h' -- '*.[ch]')

to guide us in finding files that either need &lt;linux/prefetch.h&gt;
inclusion, or have it despite not needing it.

There are more of them around (mostly network drivers), but this gets
many core ones.
