Subject: [PATCH 0/4] afs, fscache: Fixes


Hi Linus,

Is it too late in the cycle to send some AFS fixes?  If you don't want to
pull the AFS fixes, can you at least apply the fscache fix as that
potentially affects other filesystems too?

There are four patches:

 (1) Fix the default return of fscache_maybe_release_page() when a cache
     isn't in use - it prevents a filesystem from releasing pages.  This
     can cause a system to OOM.

 (2) Fix a potential uninitialised variable in AFS.

 (3) Fix AFS unlink's handling of the nlink count.  It needs to use the
     nlink manipulation functions so that inode structs of deleted inodes
     actually get scheduled for destruction.

 (4) Fix error handling in afs_write_end() so that the page gets unlocked
     and put if we can't fill the unwritten portion.

The patches can be found here also:
