No. The vfsmount will go away completely medium-term once we get right of the atomic open nfs hack that paases a file back in the open intent. A normal filesystem has not business looking at the vfsmount instance at all, and the raw open/create we need to replace the atomic open hack will need the full nameidata per definition, also to allow things like a multi-component lookup that various cluster/network filesystems really want. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
