Subject: [PATCH 0/4] eventfs: Simplify the permissions logic


While debugging the failure of the ownership test failing on the
second run again, I ended up greatly simplifying the eventfs code
with respect to the permissions, only to discover that the bug was
elsewhere[1].

But because of the great diff-stat that this produced, not to mention
the simplifying of the code, I'm going to try to get this into this
merge window.

Steven Rostedt (Google) (4):
      eventfs: Consolidate the eventfs_inode update in eventfs_get_inode()
      eventfs: Remove getattr and permission callbacks
      eventfs: Cleanup permissions in creation of inodes
      eventfs: Do not use attributes for events directory
