Igor's overview of the patch series is: http://marc.info/?l=linux-cifs-client&r=1&b=200712&w=2 Although most of the CIFS DFS support is merged, there are three remaining patches to finish review before merge. One, for completing CIFSGetDFSReferral, is probably less interesting to fsdevel: http://marc.info/?l=linux-cifs-client&m=119798736327234&w=2 but the other two are more important: http://marc.info/?l=linux-cifs-client&m=119798738227280&w=2 http://marc.info/?l=linux-cifs-client&m=119798739027293&w=2 Igor has indicated that he will look at a subsequent patch to more efficiently store mountdata on shrinkable mounts by using a pointer to the parent's mountdata.
