Please pull from the 'for-linus' branch at
git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/linux.git for-linus
for a series of patches which add a setlease() file method. The
longer-term goal is to allow cluster and network filesystems to give out
consistent leases when possible, in particular to allow nfsd to give out
delegations on cluster filesystems. For now, though, we're using this
just to disallow leases selectively on certain filesystems (nfs and gfs2
for now) where they don't make sense.
Also includes some minor locks.c cleanup.
J. Bruce Fields (9):
locks: convert an -EINVAL return to a BUG
locks: clean up lease_alloc()
locks: share more common lease code
locks: rename lease functions to reflect locks.c conventions
locks: provide a file lease method enabling cluster-coherent leases
locks: export setlease to filesystems
nfs: disable leases over NFS
locks: make posix_test_lock() interface more consistent
locks: fix vfs_test_lock() comment
Marc Eshel (1):
gfs2: stop giving out non-cluster-coherent leases
david m. richter (1):
leases: minor break_lease() comment clarification
