Even so, you missed a load of filesystems in the kernel with this patch series, what makes the ones you did mark here different from the "internal" filesystems that you did not? This feels wrong, why is userspace suddenly breaking? What changed in the kernel that caused this? Procfs has been around for a _very_ long time :) thanks, greg k-h
