Well.. why? Presumably this patch fixes some race. A good description of that race would be useful - partly because others may then be able to suggest alternative ways of fixing that bug.
I'll merge these patches for some testing.
I did merge these patches three weekes ago:
fat-modify-nfs-mount-option.patch fat-exportfs-rebuild-inode-if-ilookup-fails.patch fat-exportfs-rebuild-inode-if-ilookup-fails-fix.patch fat-exportfs-rebuild-directory-inode-if-fat_dget-fails.patch documentation-update-nfs-option-in-filesystem-vfattxt.patch
But I have no record of Bruce or Ogawa having reviewed/acked them?
