Linus,
This patchset removes the hard NGROUPS limit. It has been in use in a similar form (but with a sysctl-set limit) on our systems for some time.
The last changeset is of questionable value - nfsiod is not included by or referenced by anything. Perhaps it should just be removed?
I have a separate patch to convert XFS to the generic qsort(), which I will bounce to SGI if/when this gets pulled.
There is a small change needed for glibc, and I will send that patch to the glibc people if/when this gets pulled.
Lastly, this does not fixup all the architectures. I have other patchsets for that, which need to be reviewed by arch maintainers.
Tim
Please do a

through these ChangeSets (diffs in separate email):
<thockin@freakshow.cobalt.com> (02/10/10 1.742) convert nfsiod to use OLD_NGROUPS - does anyone _use_ this file anymore?
<thockin@freakshow.cobalt.com> (02/10/10 1.741) fix usage of NGROUPS in nfsd and svcauth
<thockin@freakshow.cobalt.com> (02/10/10 1.740) Remove the limit of 32 groups. We now have a per-task, dynamic array of groups, which is kept sorted and refcounted.
This ChangeSet incorporates all the core functionality. but does not fixup all the incorrect usages of groups. That is in a seperate ChangeSet.
<thockin@freakshow.cobalt.com> (02/10/10 1.739) Add generic qsort() and bsearch(): qsort() from BSD, bsearch() from glibc
