Subject: [GIT PULL -mm] 0/9 Unionfs updates/cleanups/fixes


The following is a series of patches related to Unionfs.  The main changes
here are bug fixes and improved cache-coherency methods.

These patches were tested (where appropriate) on Linus's 2.6.24 latest code
(as of v2.6.24-rc2-330-g325d22d), for the first time on MM
(mmotm-2007-11-10-19-05), as well as the backports to
2.6.{23,22,21,20,19,18,9} on ext2/3/4, xfs, reiserfs, nfs2/3/4, jffs2,
ramfs, tmpfs, cramfs, and squashfs (where available).  See
http://unionfs.filesystems.org/ to download backported unionfs code.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ezk/unionfs.git
