Subject: [PULL] bkl-removal (fasync stuff)

Hi, Linus,

I've got a handful of BKL-removal patches at:

  git://git.lwn.net/linux-2.6.git bkl-removal

These are the much-discussed and much-revised fasync() fixup series.
After this, ->fasync() is no longer called with the BKL held, some
longstanding (minor) races have been closed, and the internal fasync()
API has been cleaned up and made consistent.

Thanks,

jon

Jonathan Corbet (4):
      Rename struct file->f_ep_lock
      Use f_lock to protect f_flags
      Move FASYNC bit handling to f_op->fasync()
      Rationalize fasync return values
