@ -398,12 +398,16 @@ Currently you can only have FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE with FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE set,
so the i_size should not change when hole punching, even when puching the end of
a file off.

->get_sb() is gone. Switch to use of ->mount(). Typically it's just
a matter of switching from calling get_sb_... to mount_... and changing the
function type. If you were doing it manually, just switch from setting ->mnt_root
to some pointer to returning that pointer. On errors return ERR_PTR(...).

->permission(), generic_permission() and ->check_acl() have lost flags
argument; instead of passing IPERM_FLAG_RCU we add MAY_NOT_BLOCK into mask.
generic_permission() has also lost the check_acl argument; if you want
non-NULL to be used for that inode, put it into ->i_op->check_acl.
