Merge branch 'for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jack/linux-fs
Pull misc filesystem updates from Jan Kara:
 "udf, ext2, quota, fsnotify fixes & cleanups:

   - udf fixes for handling of media without uid/gid

   - udf fixes for some corner cases in parsing of volume recognition
     sequence

   - improvements of fsnotify handling of ENOMEM

   - new ioctl to allow setting of watch descriptor id for inotify (for
     checkpoint - restart)

   - small ext2, reiserfs, quota cleanups"

* 'for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jack/linux-fs:
  quota: Kill an unused extern entry form quota.h
  reiserfs: Remove VLA from fs/reiserfs/reiserfs.h
  udf: fix potential refcnt problem of nls module
  ext2: change return code to -ENOMEM when failing memory allocation
  udf: Do not mark possibly inconsistent filesystems as closed
  fsnotify: Let userspace know about lost events due to ENOMEM
  fanotify: Avoid lost events due to ENOMEM for unlimited queues
  udf: Remove never implemented mount options
  udf: Update mount option documentation
  udf: Provide saner default for invalid uid / gid
  udf: Clean up handling of invalid uid/gid
  udf: Apply uid/gid mount options also to new inodes & chown
  udf: Ignore [ug]id=ignore mount options
  udf: Fix handling of Partition Descriptors
  udf: Unify common handling of descriptors
  udf: Convert descriptor index definitions to enum
  udf: Allow volume descriptor sequence to be terminated by unrecorded block

 The uid= and gid= options need a bit more explaining.  They will accept a
-decimal numeric value which will be used as the default ID for that mount.
-They will also accept the string "ignore" and "forget".  For files on the disk
-that are owned by nobody ( -1 ), they will instead look as if they are owned
-by the default ID.  The ignore option causes the default ID to override all
-IDs on the disk, not just -1.  The forget option causes all IDs to be written
-to disk as -1, so when the media is later remounted, they will appear to be
-owned by whatever default ID it is mounted with at that time.
+decimal numeric value and all inodes on that mount will then appear as

+The forget option causes all IDs to be written to disk as -1 which is a way
+of UDF standard to indicate that IDs are not supported for these files .
 
-For typical desktop use of removable media, you should set the ID to that
-of the interactively logged on user, and also specify both the forget and
-ignore options.  This way the interactive user will always see the files
-on the disk as belonging to him.
