Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs-2.6

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs-2.6:
  truncate: use new helpers
  truncate: new helpers
  fs: fix overflow in sys_mount() for in-kernel calls
  fs: Make unload_nls() NULL pointer safe
  freeze_bdev: grab active reference to frozen superblocks
  freeze_bdev: kill bd_mount_sem
  exofs: remove BKL from super operations
  fs/romfs: correct error-handling code
  vfs: seq_file: add helpers for data filling
  vfs: remove redundant position check in do_sendfile
  vfs: change sb->s_maxbytes to a loff_t
  vfs: explicitly cast s_maxbytes in fiemap_check_ranges
  libfs: return error code on failed attr set
  seq_file: return a negative error code when seq_path_root() fails.
  vfs: optimize touch_time() too
  vfs: optimization for touch_atime()
  vfs: split generic_forget_inode() so that hugetlbfs does not have to copy it
  fs/inode.c: add dev-id and inode number for debugging in init_special_inode()
  libfs: make simple_read_from_buffer conventional
