Yup.  The strategy around here is to bury people in email and trust they
have industrial-strength filtering.

And I could have added Neil on the cc: too and forgot, oops:

I'm dense.  I still had to scratch my head a while:

So: in a case like the one steved gives:

	/home *(rw,fsid=0,crossmnt)
	/home/fs1 *(rw,crossmnt)
	/home/fs1/fs2/fs3 *(rw,nohide)

where nfsd_fh is asked to look for an export with fsid=0, it gets a
match on the export of /home.  But that loop there keeps going in case
it finds some better match.  In particular it considers any mountpoints
under /home as candidates, since /home has "crossmnt".  And they all
match too.  So it considers in sequence the possibilities:

	(found=/export of /home, found_path=/home)
	(found=/export of /home, found_path=/home/fs1)
	(found=/export of /home, found_path=/home/fs1/fs2/fs3)

The subexport() test--designed to favor crossmnt exports which are
"closer" to the target filesystem--passes in each case, so we end up
taking the last.

So we pass down the longest path to the kernel, it does an export upcall
for that path, the hilarity ensues.

Anyway:

	Acked-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@xxxxxxxxxx>

But this all still gives me a mild headache:

	- it only works if we iterate through the submounts in the
	  correct order?
	- should fsid= be inherited by crossmnt anyway?
	- nfsd_fh() is too long, and the logic (with those extra loop
	  control variables declared static inside the CROSSMOUNT case)
	  could be more straightforward.

--b.
