    Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs · a0e881b7
    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull second vfs pile from Al Viro:
     "The stuff in there: fsfreeze deadlock fixes by Jan (essentially, the
      deadlock reproduced by xfstests 068), symlink and hardlink restriction
      patches, plus assorted cleanups and fixes.
    
      Note that another fsfreeze deadlock (emergency thaw one) is *not*
      dealt with - the series by Fernando conflicts a lot with Jan's, breaks
      userland ABI (FIFREEZE semantics gets changed) and trades the deadlock
      for massive vfsmount leak; this is going to be handled next cycle.
      There probably will be another pull request, but that stuff won't be
      in it."
    
    Fix up trivial conflicts due to unrelated changes next to each other in
    drivers/{staging/gdm72xx/usb_boot.c, usb/gadget/storage_common.c}
