Subject[PATCH 0/13] Filesystem in Userspace
From
Date
Andrew, Linus!

Please consider applying the following patches, which add Filesystem
in Userspace. The patches are against 2.6.10-rc2. All comments since
the last submission have been incorporated:

o don't use /proc, use /sys instead
o add more documentation on locking
o stylistic fixes

The patch is split up to the following parts:

01 - add /sys/fs directory
02 - MAINTAINERS, Kconfig and Makefile changes
03 - FUSE core
04 - read-only operations (getattr, readlink, readdir, ...)
05 - read-write operataions (setattr, mkdir, symlink, ...)
06 - file operations (open, read, write, ...)
07 - mount options controlling the behavior of the filesystem
08 - extended attribute operations (getxattr, setxattr, ...)
09 - clustered read operation using readpages()
10 - nfs export support
11 - file data invalidate operation
12 - direct I/O mount option
13 - shared writable mapping

01-06 are crucial
07-10 are nice to have
11-13 are only to be applied if Linus changes his mind :)

I've included the last three so that those can be reviewed also.

Comments are welcome!

Thanks,
Miklos
