FWIW, I've ported several cleanups + short read/write on error + lseek fixes + orangefs_superblocks locking fixes on top of that branch and pushed into vfs.git#orangefs-untested. I think it can be merged this cycle; if the fixes above really work, this + Martin's latest should leave only the handling of allocation failures in debugfs-related code. Linus, would you be OK with that thing going into -rc2? It's self-contained and I think it's in reasonably sane shape. If not for the last locking fixes, I would even suggest -rc1 with fixups of debugfs issues during the next week, but that last commit got no testing whatsoever... ;-/ I would prefer if pull request went from Mike, once he's OK with the whole set, but as far as I'm concerned the material in his #for-next + my pile above + Martin's branch (getattr fixes) should be OK for mainline merge.
