What are the chances of getting this reviewed for this merge cycle? Is it on somebody's list? If it would make it any simpler: the one that I think absolutely must get wider review, and get merged through Al's tree, is "vfs: take i_mutex on renamed file". There aren't actually any dependencies between that and the rest; and the rest is mainly in nfsd/ and locks.c (changes to which have mostly been going through my tree anyway, I think); other than that: fs/attr.c | 3 ++ fs/namei.c | 18 +++++++++++++- straightforward changes that tend to look like: + error = break_deleg(inode, O_WRONLY); + if (error) + return error; include/linux/fs.h | 19 +++++++++++++-- and some definitions. --b. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
