Merge branch 'for-linus-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

Pull vfs updates from Al Viro:
 "In this pile: pathname resolution rewrite.

   - recursion in link_path_walk() is gone.

   - nesting limits on symlinks are gone (the only limit remaining is
     that the total amount of symlinks is no more than 40, no matter how
     nested).

   - "fast" (inline) symlinks are handled without leaving rcuwalk mode.

   - stack footprint (independent of the nesting) is below kilobyte now,
     about on par with what it used to be with one level of nested
     symlinks and ~2.8 times lower than it used to be in the worst case.

   - struct nameidata is entirely private to fs/namei.c now (not even
     opaque pointers are being passed around).

   - ->follow_link() and ->put_link() calling conventions had been
     changed; all in-tree filesystems converted, out-of-tree should be
     able to follow reasonably easily.

     For out-of-tree conversions, see Documentation/filesystems/porting
     for details (and in-tree filesystems for examples of conversion).

  That has sat in -next since mid-May, seems to survive all testing
  without regressions and merges clean with v4.1"
