Yeah, that's the right place, apologies, I just tend to say "applied" when I add them to my local tree, but then I wait till some tests have run at least before actually pushing them out. > For the other 'dropit' cases I think the svc_authorise failure is most likely > to be interesting.

If dropping the connection is our way of communicating "I've lost one of your requests, you're never going to see the reply until you retry", then perhaps the only time we should drop is when we've deferred. (In which case, maybe s/SVC_DROP/SVC_DEFERRED/.) Anyway, they're all pushed out now. The last one required more fixing up (thanks to my gratuitous cleanup patch), but I think it's right.... --b. -- 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
