Merge branch 'work.mount' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull ->s_options removal from Al Viro: "Preparations for fsmount/fsopen stuff (coming next cycle). Everything gets moved to explicit ->show_options(), killing ->s_options off + some cosmetic bits around fs/namespace.c and friends. Basically, the stuff needed to work with fsmount series with minimum of conflicts with other work. It's not strictly required for this merge window, but it would reduce the PITA during the coming cycle, so it would be nice to have those bits and pieces out of the way" * 'work.mount' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: isofs: Fix isofs_show_options() VFS: Kill off s_options and helpers orangefs: Implement show_options 9p: Implement show_options isofs: Implement show_options afs: Implement show_options affs: Implement show_options befs: Implement show_options spufs: Implement show_options bpf: Implement show_options ramfs: Implement show_options pstore: Implement show_options omfs: Implement show_options hugetlbfs: Implement show_options VFS: Don't use save/replace_mount_options if not using generic_show_options VFS: Provide empty name qstr VFS: Make get_filesystem() return the affected filesystem VFS: Clean up whitespace in fs/namespace.c and fs/super.c Provide a function to create a NUL-terminated string from unterminated data
