By the way, I'm keeping updated versions of this patch series in the
server-cluster-locking-api branch of the repository at
git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/linux.git.
So if you already have a git tree sitting around (cloned with something
like "git clone
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git")
They you should be able to get this with
git fetch git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/linux.git
+server-cluster-locking-api:server-cluster-locking-api
git checkout server-cluster-locking-api
Alternatively you can browse the patches without git from
http://linux-nfs.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=bfields-2.6.git;a=shortlog;h=server-cluster-locking-api
--b.
