xstat: Add a dentry op to handle automounting rather than abusing follow_link() [ver #6]
Moving this out of ->follow_link is a good idea, but please submit this as a separate patch series, as it has very little to do with stat(). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo(a)vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.... 18 Jul 2010 05:12

xstat: Make special system filesystems return FS_SPECIAL_FL [ver #6]
special is not a very useful identifier. Also what you are returning is per-filesystem data, not per-file. This needs to go into statfs, not into stat. We're about to introduce flags for statfs, so try to do it ontop of those. The same thing applies to the remote flag in the next patch. -- To unsubscribe f... 18 Jul 2010 05:12

xstat: Provide a mechanism to gather extra results for [f]xstat() [ver #6]
As mentioned before this is total overkill. The request/respond flags together with the buffer size already provide enough ways to extent the structure in a backwards compatible way if needed. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo(a)vger.k... 18 Jul 2010 05:12

xstat: Add a pair of system calls to make extended file stats available [ver #6]
Adding Uli to the Cc list to make sure this system call is useful for glibc / can be exported by it. Otherwise it's rather pointless to add it.

[PATCH] KERNEL BUILD: Make the setlocalversion script POSIX-compliant.
The 'source' builtin is a bash alias to the '.' (dot) builtin. While the former is supported only by bash, the latter is specified in POSIX and works fine with all POSIX-compliant shells I am aware of. The '$_' special parameter is specific to bash. It is partially supported in dash too but it always evaluates to... 18 Jul 2010 05:12
