I'm not clear on your offer: do you mean converting the nfsd_file cache from rhashtable to rhl, or converting the proposed nfs4_file rework? I had planned to do the latter myself and post a refresh. The nfsd_file_acquire API is the only place that seems to want a filehandle, and it's just to lookup the underlying inode. Perhaps I don't understand your question? -- Chuck Lever
