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:
  AFS: Use i_generation not i_version for the vnode uniquifier
  AFS: Set s_id in the superblock to the volume name
  vfs: Fix data corruption after failed write in __block_write_begin()
  afs: afs_fill_page reads too much, or wrong data
  VFS: Fix vfsmount overput on simultaneous automount
  fix wrong iput on d_inode introduced by e6bc45d65d
  Delay struct net freeing while there's a sysfs instance refering to it
  afs: fix sget() races, close leak on umount
  ubifs: fix sget races
  ubifs: split allocation of ubifs_info into a separate function
  fix leak in proc_set_super()
