From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> 3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. =============== commit ff2fde9929feb2aef45377ce56b8b12df85dda69 upstream. Result will be massaged to saner shape in the next commits. It is ugly, no questions - the point of that one is to be a provably equivalent transformation (and it might be worth splitting a bit more).
