The first three patches in my set can go to -mm/mainline now, if it's ok w/ you. I think this fs/ioctl.c cleanup is useful indepenent of unionfs. The 3rd patch, making unionfs use vfs_ioctl, is a very small patch, and I can wait on it until the first 3 patches are in Linus's tree (for now, I'll just call the lower ->ioctl/unlocked_ioctl). > unionfs has been hanging around for a long time now and we should work > towards getting it into 2.6.25 or dropped from -mm (sorry).

I did promise Al a few weeks ago that I'll post the whole thing against mainline. But I'll also go dig up whatever old mail is there for when we first posted the code.
