Hi Linus, Please pull the following Ceph fixes from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sage/ceph-client.git for-linus The main item here is a workaround for a regression caused by the dcache RCU stuff. d_kill now clears d_parent prior to the release dentry op, which causes a NULL pointer dereference in the ceph code. Nick said this should be easy enough to fix[1], but he's offline and it seems a bit late to futz with the core dcache code. This patch basically just makes a copy of d_parent in the private d_fsdata struct. We can revert it once the d_kill/d_parent thing gets fixed up, presumably during the next merge window. There are also some error handling fixes and a fix for an possible infinite loop in the snapshot notification handler.
