Hi these three patches are all completely separate, but are all related to the VFS. I've posted them all previously but with, as yet, no response (except an ack from Paul McKenney for the RCU one). One was, admitted, posted early last year... I would appreciate review and, hopefully, acceptance. Thanks, NeilBrown --- NeilBrown (3): VFS: use synchronize_rcu_expedited() in namespace_unlock() Improve fairness when locking the per-superblock s_anon list VFS: close race between getcwd() and d_move() fs/dcache.c | 42 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------ fs/namespace.c | 2 +- fs/super.c | 1 + include/linux/fs.h | 1 + 4 files changed, 33 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) -- Signature
