Merge git://git.linux-nfs.org/pub/linux/nfs-2.6
* git://git.linux-nfs.org/pub/linux/nfs-2.6: (118 commits) NFSv4: Iterate through all nfs_clients when the server recalls a delegation NFSv4: Deal more correctly with duplicate delegations NFS: Fix a potential race between umount and nfs_access_cache_shrinker() NFS: Add an asynchronous delegreturn operation for use in nfs_clear_inode nfs: convert NFS_*(inode) helpers to static inline nfs: obliterate NFS_FLAGS macro NFS: Address memory leaks in the NFS client mount option parser nfs4: allow nfsv4 acls on non-regular-files NFS: Optimise away the sigmask code in aio/dio reads and writes SUNRPC: Don't bother changing the sigmask for asynchronous RPC calls SUNRPC: rpcb_getport_sync() passes incorrect address size to rpc_create() SUNRPC: Clean up block comment preceding rpcb_getport_sync() SUNRPC: Use appropriate argument types in rpcb client SUNRPC: rpcb_getport_sync() should use built-in hostname generator SUNRPC: Clean up functions that free address_strings array NFS: NFS version number is unsigned NLM: Fix a bogus 'return' in nlmclnt_rpc_release NLM: Introduce an arguments structure for nlmclnt_init() NLM/NFS: Use cached nlm_host when calling nlmclnt_proc() NFS: Invoke nlmclnt_init during NFS mount processing ...
