This hunk doesn't apply to a 3.15-rc2 kernel - it calls
xfs_create_tmpfile(). Just applying it as is after fixing the hunk
causes a crash in xfs-create(), because the code in the patch is
calling xfs-create ratehr than xfs_create_tmpfile().

Brian, can you regenerate this patch against a current linus tree
(3.15-rc4)?

Cheers,

Dave.
