The following series of patches contain a VFS change, and hence I'm sending them via mail instead of as a git pull. The first two patches have been posted earlier (see http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.file-systems/29663). To recap: The first patch adds VFS support for walking the remote path, using a temporary mount namespace to represent the server's namespace, so that symlinks and referrals can be followed across remote filesystem and server boundaries. The second patch then uses this VFS helper in the NFSv4 mount code. The last two patches fix issues with referrals that turned up during testing at Connectathon. Please apply after pulling the NFS client git tree as requested earlier today, or you can pull the full set of changes from git pull git://git.linux-nfs.org/projects/trondmy/nfs-2.6.git vfs-changes Cheers Trond Trond Myklebust (4): VFS: Add a VFS helper function vfs_remote_path_lookup() NFSv4: Use vfs_path_lookup() instead of nfs4_path_walk() NFS: Fix nfs_path() to always return a '/' at the beginning of the path NFS: Correct the NFS mount path when following a referral fs/namei.c | 75 ++++++++++++++++- fs/namespace.c | 56 ++++++++++-- fs/nfs/namespace.c | 5 + fs/nfs/super.c | 192 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----- include/linux/mnt_namespace.h | 2 + include/linux/namei.h | 2 + include/linux/nsproxy.h | 1 + kernel/nsproxy.c | 11 +++ 8 files changed, 314 insertions(+), 30 deletions(-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
