Fix up conflicts in:
 - drivers/net/Kconfig:
	The split-up generated a trivial conflict with removal of a
	stale reference to Documentation/networking/net-modules.txt.
	Remove it from the new location instead.
 - fs/sysfs/dir.c:
	Fairly nasty conflicts with the sysfs rb-tree usage, conflicting
	with Eric Biederman's changes for tagged directories.

sysfs: Remove support for tagged directories with untagged members.

2011-10-19T23:24:15+00:00

Now that /sys/class/net/bonding_masters is implemented as a tagged sysfs
file we can remove support for untagged files in tagged directories.

This change removes any ambiguity of what a NULL namespace value
means.  A NULL namespace parameter after this patch means
that we are talking about an untagged sysfs dirent.

This makes the sysfs code much less prone to mistakes when during
maintenance.

sysfs: count subdirectories

sysfs: count subdirectories

This patch introduces a subdirectory counter for each sysfs directory.

Without the patch, sysfs_refresh_inode would walk all entries of the directory
to calculate the number of subdirectories.

This patch improves time of "ls -la /sys/block" when there are 10000 block
devices from 9 seconds to 0.19 seconds.

->permission() sanitizing: don't pass flags to generic_permission()

2011-07-20T05:43:22+00:00

redundant; all callers get it duplicated in mask & MAY_NOT_BLOCK and none of
them removes that bit.

kill check_acl callback of generic_permission()

2011-07-20T05:43:16+00:00

its value depends only on inode and does not change; we might as
well store it in ->i_op->check_acl and be done with that.
