Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs-2.6 

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs-2.6:
  fs: simplify iget & friends
  fs: pull inode->i_lock up out of writeback_single_inode
  fs: rename inode_lock to inode_hash_lock
  fs: move i_wb_list out from under inode_lock
  fs: move i_sb_list out from under inode_lock
  fs: remove inode_lock from iput_final and prune_icache
  fs: Lock the inode LRU list separately
  fs: factor inode disposal
  fs: protect inode->i_state with inode->i_lock
  autofs4: Do not potentially dereference NULL pointer returned by fget() in autofs_dev_ioctl_setpipefd()
  autofs4 - remove autofs4_lock
  autofs4 - fix d_manage() return on rcu-walk
  autofs4 - fix autofs4_expire_indirect() traversal
  autofs4 - fix dentry leak in autofs4_expire_direct()
  autofs4 - reinstate last used update on access
  vfs - check non-mountpoint dentry might block in __follow_mount_rcu()
