Subject: [GIT PULL] Ceph fixes for 2.6.38-rc6

Hi Linus,

Please pull the following Ceph fixes from

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sage/ceph-client.git for-linus

The main item here is a workaround for a regression caused by the dcache 
RCU stuff.  d_kill now clears d_parent prior to the release dentry op, 
which causes a NULL pointer dereference in the ceph code.  Nick said this 
should be easy enough to fix[1], but he's offline and it seems a bit late 
to futz with the core dcache code.  This patch basically just makes a copy 
of d_parent in the private d_fsdata struct.  We can revert it once the 
d_kill/d_parent thing gets fixed up, presumably during the next merge 
window.

There are also some error handling fixes and a fix for an possible 
infinite loop in the snapshot notification handler.

Thanks-
sage
