Great... OK, saner splitup of that sucker (equivalent to combination of these two patches) is in vfs.git#for-linus. Review and testing would be very welcome. PS: The diff between that and aforementioned "both patches applied" is noise - dentry and parent declarations had been moved into the loop body there, while in #for-linus they are left alone. So Mika's testing results should apply to that one as well. -- 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
