There are some attribute update fixups, mainly to make the spin locking more efficient A fix for the problem of autobind on cloned RPC clients The one feature that has been added is the lookup revalidation mount option to allow clients to specify that they might not want to cache negative dentries, and that they might want strict dentry revalidation. -- Trond Myklebust Linux NFS client maintainer NetApp Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com www.netapp.com
