The patch titled nfs: fix oops re sysctls and V4 support has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is nfs-fix-oops-re-sysctls-and-v4-support.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: nfs: fix oops re sysctls and V4 support From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@xxxxxxxxx> NFS unregisters sysctls only if V4 support is compiled in. However, sysctl table is not V4 specific, so unregister it always.
