The following is a series of patchsets related to Unionfs. This is the third set of patchsets resulting from an lkml review of the entire unionfs code base. The most significant change here is a locking/race bugfix during dentry revalidation. These patches were tested (where appropriate) on Linus's 2.6.24 latest code (as of v2.6.24-rc6-179-gb8c9a18), MM, as well as the backports to 2.6.{23,22,21,20,19,18,9} on ext2/3/4, xfs, reiserfs, nfs2/3/4, jffs2, ramfs, tmpfs, cramfs, and squashfs (where available). Also tested with LTP-full. See http://unionfs.filesystems.org/ to download back-ported unionfs code.
