Pull vfs updates from Al Viro:
 "Assorted cleanups and fixes.

  Probably the most interesting part long-term is -&gt;d_init() - that will
  have a bunch of followups in (at least) ceph and lustre, but we'll
  need to sort the barrier-related rules before it can get used for
  really non-trivial stuff.

  Another fun thing is the merge of -&gt;d_iput() callers (dentry_iput()
  and dentry_unlink_inode()) and a bunch of -&gt;d_compare() ones (all
  except the one in __d_lookup_lru())"

* 'work.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (26 commits)
  fs/dcache.c: avoid soft-lockup in dput()
  vfs: new d_init method
  vfs: Update lookup_dcache() comment
  bdev: get rid of -&gt;bd_inodes
  Remove last traces of -&gt;sync_page
  new helper: d_same_name()
  dentry_cmp(): use lockless_dereference() instead of smp_read_barrier_depends()
  vfs: clean up documentation

This changes the vfs dentry hashing to mix in the parent pointer at the
_beginning_ of the hash, rather than at the end.

That actually improves both the hash and the code generation, because we
can move more of the computation to the "static" part of the dcache
setup, and do less at lookup runtime.

It turns out that a lot of other hash users also really wanted to mix in
a base pointer as a 'salt' for the hash, and so the slightly extended
interface ends up working well for other cases too.

Users that want a string hash that is purely about the string pass in a
'salt' pointer of NULL.

We always mixed in the parent pointer into the dentry name hash, but we
did it late at lookup time.  It turns out that we can simplify that
lookup-time action by salting the hash with the parent pointer early
instead of late.

A few other users of our string hashes also wanted to mix in their own
pointers into the hash, and those are updated to use the same mechanism.

Hash users that don't have any particular initial salt can just use the
NULL pointer as a no-salt.

This has ll_rw_block users pass in the operation and flags separately,
so ll_rw_block can setup the bio op and bi_rw flags on the bio that

Payloads of NM entries are not supposed to contain NUL.  When we run
into such, only the part prior to the first NUL goes into the
concatenation (i.e. the directory entry name being encoded by a bunch
of NM entries).  We do stop when the amount collected so far + the
claimed amount in the current NM entry exceed 254.  So far, so good,
but what we return as the total length is the sum of *claimed*
sizes, not the actual amount collected.  And that can grow pretty
large - not unlimited, since you'd need to put CE entries in
between to be able to get more than the maximum that could be
contained in one isofs directory entry / continuation chunk and
we are stop once we'd encountered 32 CEs, but you can get about 8Kb
easily.  And that's what will be passed to readdir callback as the
name length.  8Kb __copy_to_user() from a buffer allocated by
__get_free_page()
