This series enables the relinking of unlinked files for the purpose of enabling checkpoint/restart of tasks with open unlinked files. It relies on Namhyung Kim's sys-wrapper patches to provide unlink and rmdir calls for sys_restart. There are two patches with long descriptions. Patch 3 describes what we want from the VFS -- relinking support -- and uses ext3/4 as an example of what kinds of changes that entails. Patch 5 then details how we intend to use relinking during checkpoint to enable restart of tasks that have unlinked files open. Applies to Oren's ckpt-v22-dev branch. I chose Oren's tree because I assume people want to see code showing how relinking will be used. If this is wrong I'll be happy to respin these patches against a more recent branch of mainline.
