I also think it fixes a serious problem with file locking on NFS. What I dont think is that it has been extensively tested (I seen you stressed file locking with it for a couple of days, but thats not enough).
I feel that it needs to get tested on different setups.
If Trond is confident it works reliably, I will apply it right away. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
