Merge branch '2.6.36-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dgc/xfsdev
* '2.6.36-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dgc/xfsdev: xfs: do not discard page cache data on EAGAIN xfs: don't do memory allocation under the CIL context lock xfs: Reduce log force overhead for delayed logging xfs: dummy transactions should not dirty VFS state xfs: ensure f_ffree returned by statfs() is non-negative xfs: handle negative wbc->nr_to_write during sync writeback writeback: write_cache_pages doesn't terminate at nr_to_write <= 0 xfs: fix untrusted inode number lookup xfs: ensure we mark all inodes in a freed cluster XFS_ISTALE xfs: unlock items before allowing the CIL to commit
