Ho-hum... Speaking of which, what about leak fixes? There's a long-standing
in-core inode leak in jffs2; basically, if you fail directory modification
in symlink() et.al., you get a leaked inode and whinge at umount. Found
after -rc1, had been there since all the way back (similar bug in creat()
had been fixed in 2003, mkdir()/mknod()/symlink() were not). Fix sits in
jffs2-fixes now...

I can simply pull jffs2-fixes into vfs for-next (I need it in there for
->evict_inode() series), but I'd obviously prefer to just rebase it after
it gets into mainline.
