[Linux-cachefs] Fedora kernel testing

[Daire Byrne <Daire Byrne framestore com>]

David,

I am finally getting around to testing the latest FS-Cache 
code again but I can't seem to find any way to get the "
credentials" patches into the latest 2.6.28 Fedora 10 kernel:

  http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=79697

I suppose I don't *have* to use this kernel as the base but it
would be a bit neater in our environment for testing. I got the 
FS-Cache patches in fine but the cred patches are another story.

It seems these are heavily integrated into the security branch 
and so I can't really tell how to get a 2.6.28 tree like Fedora's
patched up with all the required bits to get the latest FS-Cache
to build. Is there a bare minimum of cred patches that can be 
applied to 2.6.28.1 to get the fs-cache working?

On a related note is there any desire to maintain fs-cache in the
Fedora kernels as a way of testing more widely? I read with interest
the discussion about getting fs-cache into the upstream kernel (and 
am of course all for it) but it looks like it will be a few more 
releases yet - if at all.

We continue to be very interested in this code and the Lustre client
integration.
