      vfs: define struct filename and have getname() return it · 91a27b2a
      Jeff Layton authored
      
      
      getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a
      kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would
      however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to
      the string.
      
      For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the
      amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled,
      we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not
      need to recopy it from userspace.
      
      This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return
      a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the
      string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it.
      
      Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes
      convenient.

      Pull i2c-embedded changes from Wolfram Sang:
       "The changes for i2c-embedded include:
      
         - massive rework of the omap driver
         - massive rework of the at91 driver.  In fact, the old driver gets
           removed; I am okay with this approach since the old driver was
           depending on BROKEN and its limitations made it practically
           unusable, so people used bitbanging instead.  But even if there are
           users, there is no platform_data or module parameter which would
           need to be converted.  It is just another driver doing I2C
           transfers, just way better.  Modifications of arch/arm/at91 related
           files have proper acks from the maintainer.
         - new driver for R-Car I2C
         - devicetree and generic_clock conversions and fixes
         - usual driver fixes and changes.
      
        The rework patches have come a long way and lots of people have been
        involved in creating/testing them.  Most patches have been in
        linux-next at least since 3.6-rc5.  A few have been added in the last
        week, I have to admit.
      
        An unexpected (but welcome :)) peak in private life is the cause for
        that.  The "late" patches shouldn't cause any merge conflicts and I
        will have a special eye on them during the stabilization phase.  This
        is an exception and I want to have the patches in place properly in
        time again for the next kernels."

      autofs4 - fix reset pending flag on mount fail · 49999ab2
      Ian Kent authored
      
      
      In autofs4_d_automount(), if a mount fail occurs the AUTOFS_INF_PENDING
      mount pending flag is not cleared.
      
      One effect of this is when using the "browse" option, directory entry
      attributes show up with all "?"s due to the incorrect callback and
      subsequent failure return (when in fact no callback should be made).

      Fixed up silent semantic mis-merge as per Mikulas Patocka and Andrew
