Thanks! Well, just to have the bug fixed, I've applied your simple original fix (1/7), but would still happily take incremental cleanup. Out of this series that just leaves [PATCH 4/7] sunrpc/cache: centralise handling of size limit on deferred list. [PATCH 5/7] sunrpc/cache: allow thread manager more control of whether threads can wait for upcalls (And with no particular objection to either--they just seemed more RFC's than "please apply"'s.) --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
