The following patches are in a git repo at:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jsipek/unionfs.git

(master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jsipek/unionfs.git)

The repository contains the following 35 commits (also available as patches
in replies to this email).

Commits 1..9 (already in -mm):
These patches are already in Andrew Morton's -mm tree.

fsstack: Introduce fsstack_copy_{attr,inode}_*
fsstack: Remove unneeded wrapper
eCryptfs: Use fsstack's generic copy inode attr functions
fsstack: Fix up eCryptfs compilation
struct path: Rename Reiserfs's struct path
struct path: Rename DM's struct path
struct path: Move struct path from fs/namei.c into include/linux
struct path: make eCryptfs a user of struct path
fs/stack.c should #include <linux/fs_stack.h>

Commits 10..11 (additional fixes to the above)
These patches are not yet in -mm, and they fix two things the above
patches missed.

fsstack: Make fsstack_copy_attr_all copy inode size
fsstack: Fix up ecryptfs's fsstack usage

Commits 12..35 (Unionfs):
