A modest request to Trond, Greg and hjl:
Would it be possible for you guys to coordinate changes and patches with Alan? I'm certainly willing to pound on the NFS client/server system (Lord-knows I'm an expert at evincing misbehavior), but it's starting to get _real_ confusing with all these patches flying around. Linus has implied that he's not super interested in applying anything that isn't relatively cohesive and well-explained, and Alan has been quite diligent about merging and pre-qualifying. So, we have the framework of a reasonable process.
At the moment, HJ has patches in the latest knfsd utils which touch on some of the same things that gam's posted patches did - though seemingly not in the same manner :-(. Some of the patches against nfs/dir.c in knfsd conflict with Alan's in 2.2.3-ac3, etc, etc.
