The following series is a resend of a set of patches that were
originally targetted for inclusion in 2.6.30-rc1. They build upon
Al Viro's "Cache root in nameidata" patches, and add the ability to
create a private mount namespace that is not visible to user
processes.
As stated before, the goal is to allow reuse of vfs_path_lookup() in
order to allow the nfs client to walk down NFSv4 mount paths, and locate
the directory that needs to be mounted.
There have been no further comments on these patches since I mailed the
last revision, so I'm hoping that Al and Christoph will ack them and
that Linus will apply...
Cheers
Trond
