[Linux-cachefs] [PATCH] NFS using FScache for 2.6.9-rc4-mm1 kernel

[Steve Dickson]

Here is the  2.6.9-rc4-mm1 patch that will enable NFS to
use FScache (formally know as CacheFS). Notable changes:

1) Moved some code around into different source files
     per Trond's request.

2) Found and fixed some problems in the filehandle matching code.

3) Added NFS4 support, which was really no big deal since
    all that was needed was to move some code around and
    fix some compile errors.

4) Added the NFS_MOUNT_FSCACHE and NFS4_MOUNT_FSCACHE
    mounting options. This means a fscache enabled mount command
    will be need to enable NFS to used the fscache. For now, the util-linux
    patch,  source rpm and binary rpm can be found at:
    http://people.redhat.com/steved/fscache/util-linux/

Unless there is some objection, I would like to propose this patch to be
included Andrew Morton's -mm tree, since the code (seems to be) becoming
fairly solid.
