Jens, I really do like this series especially struct bdev_handle and moving the mode bits in there. I'll happily take this. So far there have only been minor things that can easily be fixed.

Thanks. Since Al is fine with just doing a potential conversion to 'struct file' as a handle on top of this series (it will be dumb Coccinelle replacement) I think we can go ahead with the series as is. As you said there will be some conflicts in btrfs and I've learned about f2fs conflicts as well so I can rebase & repost the series on top of rc1 to make life easier for you. Honza

Christian, can you pull the patches to your tree > to get some exposure in linux-next as well? Thanks! Yep. So I did it slighly differently. I pulled in the btrfs prereqs and then applied your series on top of it so we get all the Link: tags right. I'm running tests right now. Please double-check. --- Applied to the vfs.super branch of the vfs/vfs.git tree. Patches in the vfs.super branch should appear in linux-next soon. Please report any outstanding bugs that were missed during review in a new review to the original patch series allowing us to drop it. It's encouraged to provide Acked-bys and Reviewed-bys even though the patch has now been applied. If possible patch trailers will be updated. Note that commit hashes shown below are subject to change due to rebase, trailer updates or similar.
