My intention was to help speed up the Union Mount effort by ensuring
that patches don't rot waiting for developer's attention. Going by the
past interactions, I got a feeling that you have lot of other work
besides this, while I have time to spare on this. Hence wanted to do my
bit to get patches moving as quickly as possible.

As I have conveyed to you many times, I would still like you to maintain
the patches and send out as timely as possible on lkml. If you can't do
this because of your other commitments, then I would more than willing
to maintain these and give them maximum attention.

And thanks for making available the patches publicly, I have been asking
this for months now.

Regards,
Bharata.

The thing is: how do we keep going from here? Do you want to send my patches
in the future or are you going to ask me before sending things out? We don't
need to duplicate the work here. I already put my quilt stack into a public
place for you to work on them but I don't like the way this is going on at the

Oh, I got that one. I don't know why Bharata sent the patch series
again. Especially since I don't know which version of the patches he sent out :(

The original patches where rotting in my queue for quite some time until
Andreas got fed up with me having no time to work on them. Now since Andreas
is busy working on other things I took over again. Thats it.

I was in bugfix-only mode from a week prior to 2.6.24 release and during

had queued for 2.6.24, partly because we needed to concentrate on
stabilising the 2.6.25 patchpile rather than writing new stuff.

[PATCH 00/13] Use struct path in struct nameidata

2007-10-22 Thread Bharata B Rao
Hi Andrew,

Could you please consider these patches for -mm ? These patches
apply on 2.6.23-mm1 and are mostly a repost of earlier patches.

Patches 1 to 11 have been Acked by Christoph Hellwig.

Patch 12 is another instance where (vfsmnt, dentry) to path conversion
is possible.

Patch 13 is a patch which renames d_path to print_path and fixes
comments as suggested by Christoph.

Compile and boot tested on x86, x86_64 and powerpc.

Regards,
Bharata.
