Simple: please, *please* hold back until we have atomic_open mess sorted out. I'm fucking sick and tired of playing whack-a-mole in that area - for nearly three years by now; we fortunately are very close to getting this shit done right - the main remaining obstacle is ->d_revalidate() abuse by NFS and I seriously hope to get it over and done with in a week or so. Once that is done and the damn thing is in #for-next, I'll ping you, dhowells and probably aufs folks to start sorting this out, so that we would have that finished before 3.2 opens. ------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BlackBerry® DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA The must-attend event for mobile developers.
