Pull vfs pile (part one) from Al Viro:
 "Assorted stuff - cleaning namei.c up a bit, fixing -&gt;d_name/-&gt;d_parent
  locking violations, etc.

  The most visible changes here are death of FS_REVAL_DOT (replaced with
  "has -&gt;d_weak_revalidate()") and a new helper getting from struct file
  to inode.  Some bits of preparation to xattr method interface changes.

  Misc patches by various people sent this cycle *and* ocfs2 fixes from
  several cycles ago that should've been upstream right then.

  PS: the next vfs pile will be xattr stuff."

====================
The following patchset contain updates for your net-next tree, they are:

* Fix (for just added) connlabel dependencies, from Florian Westphal.

* Add aliasing support for conntrack, thus users can either use -m state
  or -m conntrack from iptables while using the same kernel module, from
  Jozsef Kadlecsik.

* Some code refactoring for the CT target to merge common code in
  revision 0 and 1, from myself.

* Add aliasing support for CT, based on patch from Jozsef Kadlecsik.

* Add one mutex per nfnetlink subsystem, from myself.

* Improved logging for packets that are dropped by helpers, from myself.

<title>netfilter: nf_ct_helper: better logging for dropped packets</title>

Connection tracking helpers have to drop packets under exceptional
situations. Currently, the user gets the following logging message
in case that happens:

	nf_ct_%s: dropping packet ...

However, depending on the helper, there are different reasons why a
packet can be dropped.

This patch modifies the existing code to provide more specific
error message in the scope of each helper to help users to debug
the reason why the packet has been dropped, ie:

	nf_ct_%s: dropping packet: reason ...

Thanks to Joe Perches for many formatting suggestions.

proc_net_remove is only used to remove proc entries
that under /proc/net,it's not a general function for
removing proc entries of netns. if we want to remove
some proc entries which under /proc/net/stat/, we still
need to call remove_proc_entry.

this patch use remove_proc_entry to replace proc_net_remove.
we can remove proc_net_remove after this patch.

Right now, some modules such as bonding use proc_create

It looks a little chaos.this patch changes all of

proc_net_fops_create after this patch.

As in del_timer() there has already placed a timer_pending() function
to check whether the timer to be deleted is pending or not, it's
unnecessary to check timer pending state again before del_timer() is
called.

Pablo Neira Ayuso says:

====================
This batch contains netfilter updates for you net-next tree, they are:

* The new connlabel extension for x_tables, that allows us to attach
  labels to each conntrack flow. The kernel implementation uses a
  bitmask and there's a file in user-space that maps the bits with the
  corresponding string for each existing label. By now, you can attach
  up to 128 overlapping labels. From Florian Westphal.

* A new round of improvements for the netns support for conntrack.
  Gao feng has moved many of the initialization code of each module
  of the netns init path. He also made several code refactoring, that
  code looks cleaner to me now.

* Added documentation for all possible tweaks for nf_conntrack via
  sysctl, from Jiri Pirko.

* Cisco 7941/7945 IP phone support for our SIP conntrack helper,
  from Kevin Cernekee.

* Missing header file in the snmp helper, from Stephen Hemminger.

* Finally, a couple of fixes to resolve minor issues with these
  changes, from myself.

Move the code that register/unregister l4proto to the
module_init/exit context.

Given that we have to modify some interfaces to accomodate
these changes, it is a good time to use shorter function names
for this using the nf_ct_* prefix instead of nf_conntrack_*,
that is:

nf_ct_l4proto_register
nf_ct_l4proto_pernet_register
nf_ct_l4proto_unregister
nf_ct_l4proto_pernet_unregister

We same many line breaks with it.
