The patch titled
     NFS: Fix the ustat() regression
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     nfs-fix-the-ustat-regression.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: NFS: Fix the ustat() regression
From: Trond Myklebust <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Since 2.6.18, the superblock sb->s_root has been a dummy dentry with a
dummy inode.  This breaks ustat(), which actually uses sb->s_root in a
vfstat() call.

Fix this by making the s_root a dummy alias to the directory inode that was
used when creating the superblock.
