The patch titled
NFS: Fix an Oops in NFS unmount
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
nfs-fix-an-oops-in-nfs-unmount.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: NFS: Fix an Oops in NFS unmount
From: Trond Myklebust <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Ensure that the dummy 'root dentry' is invisible to d_find_alias(). If
not, then it may be spliced into the tree if a parent directory from the
same filesystem gets mounted at a later time.
