This patch and the version of this patch in Jeff's tree have a fairly obvious compile warning (you inserted a line of code ---before-- a variable declaration nested in a block). Would make it easier if you fixed that and I could rebase my tree on Jeff's updated branch CC [M] fs/cifs/dir.o fs/cifs/dir.c: In function ‘cifs_atomic_open’: fs/cifs/dir.c:408:3: warning: ISO C90 forbids mixed declarations and code [-Wdeclaration-after- statement] On Tue, Oct 30, 2012 at 11:38 AM, Sachin Prabhu <sprabhu@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > On Fri, 2012-10-26 at 08:16 -0400, Jeff Layton wrote: > > On Sat, 20 Oct 2012 20:44:42 -0400 > > Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > > > The following oops was reported by Vit Zahradka.
