Pull overlayfs updates from Miklos Szeredi:
 "In addition to bug fixes and cleanups there are two new features from
  Amir:

   - Consistent inode number support for the case when layers are not
     all on the same filesystem (feature is dubbed "xino").

   - Optimize overlayfs file handle decoding. This one touches the
     exportfs interface to allow detecting the disconnected directory
     case"

* 'overlayfs-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs:
  ovl: update documentation w.r.t "xino" feature
  ovl: add support for "xino" mount and config options
  ovl: consistent d_ino for non-samefs with xino
  ovl: consistent i_ino for non-samefs with xino
  ovl: constant st_ino for non-samefs with xino
  ovl: allocate anon bdev per unique lower fs

  ovl: cleanup setting OVL_INDEX
  ovl: set d-&gt;is_dir and d-&gt;opaque for last path element
  ovl: Do not check for redirect if this is last layer
  ovl: lookup in inode cache first when decoding lower file handle
  ovl: do not try to reconnect a disconnected origin dentry
  ovl: disambiguate ovl_encode_fh()
  ovl: set lower layer st_dev only if setting lower st_ino
  ovl: fix lookup with middle layer opaque dir and absolute path redirects
  ovl: Set d-&gt;last properly during lookup

     Directory specific bits have been split out of ceph_file_info and

Implement the AFS feature by which @sys at the end of a pathname component
may be substituted for one of a list of values, typically naming the
operating system.  Up to 16 alternatives may be specified and these are
tried in turn until one works.  Each network namespace has[*] a separate
independent list.

Upon creation of a new network namespace, the list of values is
initialised[*] to a single OpenAFS-compatible string representing arch type
plus "_linux26".  For example, on x86_64, the sysname is "amd64_linux26".

[*] Or will, once network namespace support is finalised in kAFS.

The list may be set by:

	# for i in foo bar linux-x86_64; do echo $i; done &gt;/proc/fs/afs/sysname

for which separate writes to the same fd are amalgamated and applied on
close.  The LF character may be used as a separator to specify multiple
items in the same write() call.

The list may be cleared by:

	# echo &gt;/proc/fs/afs/sysname

and read by:

	# cat /proc/fs/afs/sysname
	foo
	bar
	linux-x86_64

Pull fscache updates from David Howells:
 "Three patches that fix some of AFS's usage of fscache:

   (1) Need to invalidate the cache if a foreign data change is detected
       on the server.

   (2) Move the vnode ID uniquifier (equivalent to i_generation) from
       the auxiliary data to the index key to prevent a race between
       file delete and a subsequent file create seeing the same index
       key.

   (3) Need to retire cookies that correspond to files that we think got
       deleted on the server.

  Four patches to fix some things in fscache and cachefiles:

   (4) Fix a couple of checker warnings.

   (5) Correctly indicate to the end-of-operation callback whether an
       operation completed or was cancelled.

   (6) Add a check for multiple cookie relinquishment.

   (7) Fix a path through the asynchronous write that doesn't wake up a
       waiter for a page if the cache decides not to write that page,
       but discards it instead.

  A couple of patches to add tracepoints to fscache and cachefiles:

   (8) Add tracepoints for cookie operators, object state machine
       execution, cachefiles object management and cachefiles VFS
       operations.

   (9) Add tracepoints for fscache operation management and page
       wrangling.

  And then three development patches:

  (10) Attach the index key and auxiliary data to the cookie, pass this
       information through various fscache-netfs API functions and get
       rid of the callbacks to the netfs to get it.

Pull fscache updates from David Howells:
 "Three patches that fix some of AFS's usage of fscache:

   (1) Need to invalidate the cache if a foreign data change is detected
       on the server.

   (2) Move the vnode ID uniquifier (equivalent to i_generation) from
       the auxiliary data to the index key to prevent a race between
       file delete and a subsequent file create seeing the same index
       key.

   (3) Need to retire cookies that correspond to files that we think got
       deleted on the server.

  Four patches to fix some things in fscache and cachefiles:

   (4) Fix a couple of checker warnings.

   (5) Correctly indicate to the end-of-operation callback whether an
       operation completed or was cancelled.

   (6) Add a check for multiple cookie relinquishment.

   (7) Fix a path through the asynchronous write that doesn't wake up a
       waiter for a page if the cache decides not to write that page,
       but discards it instead.

  A couple of patches to add tracepoints to fscache and cachefiles:

   (8) Add tracepoints for cookie operators, object state machine
       execution, cachefiles object management and cachefiles VFS
       operations.

   (9) Add tracepoints for fscache operation management and page
       wrangling.

  And then three development patches:

  (10) Attach the index key and auxiliary data to the cookie, pass this
       information through various fscache-netfs API functions and get
       rid of the callbacks to the netfs to get it.

       This means that the cache can get at this information, even if
       the netfs goes away. It also means that the cache can be lazy in
       updating the coherency data.

  (11) Pass the object data size through various fscache-netfs API
       rather than calling back to the netfs for it, and store the value
       in the object.

       This makes it easier to correctly resize the object, as the size
       is updated on writes to the cache, rather than calling back out
       to the netfs.

  (12) Maintain a catalogue of allocated cookies. This makes it possible
       to catch cookie collision up front rather than down in the bowels
       of the cache being run from a service thread from the object
       state machine.

       This will also make it possible in the future to reconnect to a
       cookie that's not gone dead yet because it's waiting for
       finalisation of the storage and also make it possible to bring
       cookies online if the cache is added after the cookie has been
       obtained"

Pass the object size in to fscache_acquire_cookie() and
fscache_write_page() rather than the netfs providing a callback by which it
can be received.  This makes it easier to update the size of the object
when a new page is written that extends the object.

The current object size is also passed by fscache to the check_aux
function, obviating the need to store it in the aux data.
