Subject: linux-next: build failure after merge of the final tree (maybe vfs
 tree related)

Hi all,

After merging the final tree, today's linux-next build (sparc defconfig)
failed like this:

In file included from /scratch/sfr/next/arch/sparc/include/asm/prom.h:22:0,
                 from /scratch/sfr/next/include/linux/of.h:130,
                 from /scratch/sfr/next/arch/sparc/include/asm/openprom.h:14,
                 from /scratch/sfr/next/arch/sparc/include/asm/oplib_32.h:11,
                 from /scratch/sfr/next/arch/sparc/include/asm/oplib.h:6,
                 from /scratch/sfr/next/arch/sparc/include/asm/pgtable_32.h:22,
                 from /scratch/sfr/next/arch/sparc/include/asm/pgtable.h:6,
                 from /scratch/sfr/next/include/linux/mm.h:41,
                 from /scratch/sfr/next/include/linux/fs.h:397,
                 from /scratch/sfr/next/init/do_mounts_initrd.c:3:
/scratch/sfr/next/include/linux/proc_fs.h:275:15: error: field 'vfs_inode' has incomplete type
/scratch/sfr/next/include/linux/proc_fs.h: In function 'PROC_I':
/scratch/sfr/next/include/linux/proc_fs.h:280:9: warning: type defaults to 'int' in declaration of '__mptr'
/scratch/sfr/next/include/linux/proc_fs.h:280:9: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type

And many more similar.  Again, I assume some include files changed.
Maybe commit 347727d3f51d ("superblock: introduce per-sb cache shrinker
infrastructure") which included linux/mm.h in linux/fs.h ...

I have left this again.
