Let's try to start pushing early in the window this time...
There are several big ones in that:
* pathname resolution rewrite: trailing symlink resolution is
iterative in all cases, overall structure simplified a _lot_, do_lookup()
turned into something readable, knowledge of RCU stuff localized, do_last()
returned to handling non-create cases as well, NEED_REVAL_DOT got a lot
saner.
* open-by-fhandle series by Aneesh
* O_PATH descriptors (basically, "location in namespace, not actually
opened from fs POV, can be dup'ed/passed around/etc. and used as starting
points in ...at(2) kind of syscalls, but not used for any IO; that stuff
allows to do sane pathname resolution in userland and avoids the need to
add fsckloads of extra syscalls in open-by-fhandle series).
There will be more pull requests; this is just taking care of really
heavy-weight stuff.

readlinkat(), fchownat() and fstatat() with empty relative pathnames
Allow passing O_PATH descriptors via SCM_RIGHTS datagrams
pull handling of one pathname component into a helper
update nd->inode in __do_follow_link() instead of after do_follow_link()
Make trailing symlink resolution in path_lookupat() iterative
simplify link_path_walk() tail
Turn resolution of trailing symlinks iterative everywhere
tidy the trailing symlinks traversal up
Aneesh Kumar K.V (12):
exportfs: Return the minimum required handle size
vfs: Add name to file handle conversion support
vfs: Add open by file handle support
fs: Don't allow to create hardlink for deleted file
fs: Remove i_nlink check from file system link callback
x86: Add new syscalls for x86_32
x86: Add new syscalls for x86_64
unistd.h: Add new syscalls numbers to asm-generic
vfs: Export file system uuid via /proc/<pid>/mountinfo
ext3: Copy fs UUID to superblock.
ext4: Copy fs UUID to superblock
fs: allow AT_EMPTY_PATH in linkat(), limit that to CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH
