Subject: [PATCH v2 0/5] fs/ntfs3: Fix and rename hidedotfiles mount option

Changes v1->v2:
- Add documentation for hidedotfiles mount option.

The current implementation of the hidedotfiles has some problems, namely:
- there is a bug where enabling it actually disables it and vice versa
- it only works when creating files, not when moving or renaming them
- it is not listed in the enabled options list by the mount command
- its name differs from the equivalent hide_dot_files mount option
  used by NTFS-3G, making it incompatible with it for no reason

This series of patches tries to fix those problems.

Daniel Pinto (5):
  fs/ntfs3: fix hidedotfiles mount option by reversing behaviour
  fs/ntfs3: make hidedotfiles mount option work when renaming files
  fs/ntfs3: add hidedotfiles to the list of enabled mount options
  fs/ntfs3: document the hidedotfiles mount option
  fs/ntfs3: rename hidedotfiles mount option to hide_dot_files
