Hi Ben,

I can certainly apply upstream openafs's patch to wheezy-backports, but
the fact remains that a kernel update in stable changed the KPI, which
hardly seems "stable".

I have only become the openafs maintainer relatively recently, so my
apologies if this is well-trodden ground, but what is supposed to happen
when the stable KPI changes?  Is it really just that all consumers are
supposed to scramble to update their packages?

Thanks,

Ben

P.S. If I understand correctly, the issue with d_alias is that d_rcu was
previously overlapping with d_child in a union, and that was
incorrect/buggy.  There was no need to move it to overlapping with d_alias
other than to save a bit of space; the KBI was already changing, so the
KPI could have been preserved by just moving d_child out of the union and
accepting the extra space as the price of preserving the KPI.
