Merge branch 'for-linus-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull vfs fixes from Al Viro: "Switch mnt_hash to hlist, turning the races between __lookup_mnt() and hash modifications into false negatives from __lookup_mnt() (instead of hangs)" On the false negatives from __lookup_mnt(): "The *only* thing we care about is not getting stuck in __lookup_mnt(). If it misses an entry because something in front of it just got moved around, etc, we are fine. We'll notice that mount_lock mismatch and that'll be it" * 'for-linus-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: switch mnt_hash to hlist don't bother with propagate_mnt() unless the target is shared keep shadowed vfsmounts together resizable namespace.c hashes
