Hi Al,

Here's the other one I'm just sending a quick ping on. It's a simple change -
just add a little new function that enables nfsd to check if the "user."
namespace is at all supported by a filesystem.

Any comments?

Again, Linus - this is a pretty small change, doesn't affect any existing
codepaths, and it's already in the tree Chuck is setting up for 5.9. Could
this go in through that directly?

Thanks,

- Frank
