hello, can someone point me to a rough list (if there is one) of all the
things that need to be changed in each fs driver for 2.3? i'm not subscribed
to this list so if this was posted before, please point me to a list archive
if there is one.
thanks,
ani
please CC me to any replies

Hi, Al. You've previously stated that you consider the multiple
mount feature of devfs broken. I agree that there are some races in
there. However, I'm not clear on whether you're saying that the entire
concept is broken, or that it can be fixed with appropriate locking.
I've asked this before,

Background: my stacking code for linux is minimal. I only stack on things I
absolutely have to. By "stack on" I mean that I save a link/pointer to a
lower-level object in the private data field of an upper-level object. I do
so for struct file, inode, dentry, etc. But I do NOT stack on pages.
