Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull assorted fixes - mostly vfs - from Al Viro: "Assorted fixes, with an unexpected detour into vfio refcounting logics (fell out when digging in an analog of eventpoll race in there)." * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: task_work: add a scheduling point in task_work_run() fs: fix fs/namei.c kernel-doc warnings eventpoll: use-after-possible-free in epoll_create1() vfio: grab vfio_device reference *before* exposing the sucker via fd_install() vfio: get rid of vfio_device_put()/vfio_group_get_device* races vfio: get rid of open-coding kref_put_mutex introduce kref_put_mutex() vfio: don't dereference after kfree... mqueue: lift mnt_want_write() outside ->i_mutex, clean up a bit
