If I want to patch my own kernel, would it work as far back as 2.6.32 (used
by current Centos/RHEL)? Or is it one of those "try it and see" things
(since the virtual machine wouldn't be doing much else)?

Assuming Jeremy doesn't run into a strange obstacles on the server

side would be in 3.11 kernel (the merge window for 3.11 will open in
about 3 weeks), and the patches are small enough to be easy to
backport if distros wanted.

Since I don't usually do things on the "bleeding edge" of the Linux kernel,
could you give me a "ballpark" idea of when a 'stable' kernel version that
includes this functionality might be out?

I have patches for cifs kernel client for this. Jeremy Allison was
almost done server patches for samba for the other end.

I am working on a system that needs to be able to write to the xattr
namespace "trusted", as in trusted.xyz. I only need this support from the
Linux client, as the target file is being served by a Windows server. I
have tried this using Centos (same package versions as RHEL) 6.4, and the
writes all fail with the default client. I am hoping that this has been
addressed in a newer version of the CIFS client.
Is the "trusted" namespace accessible in the current Linux CIFS client?
If so, what version of which file(s) do I need to look for?
Thank you,
