Subject: [GIT PULL -mm] Unionfs/fsstack/eCryptfs updates/cleanups/fixes

The following is a series of patches related to Unionfs, which include three
small VFS/fsstack patches and one eCryptfs patch; the rest are Unionfs
patches.  The patches here represent several months of work and testing
under various conditions, especially low-memory, SMP, and preemption
situations with an assortment of lower systems: ext2/3/4, xfs, reiserfs,
nfs, jffs2, ramfs, tmpfs, cramfs, and squashfs.

You can pull from 'master' branch of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jsipek/unionfs.git

As I already mentioned to Andrew, some of these patches should go into
Linus's tree, but the remainder depends on them.

Additionally, as Andrew said earlier today, let's figure out whether or not
Unionfs gets merged.

      VFS: export release_open_intent symbol
      VFS/fsstack: remove 3rd argument to fsstack_copy_attr_all
      VFS/fsstack: cpp endif comments

For Andrew:
      Unionfs: fixed compilation error
      Unionfs: do not use fsstack_copy_attr_all
      Unionfs: copyright corrections and updates
      Unionfs: cpp endif comments
      Unionfs: cache-coherency - update inode times
