[PATCH 00/19] export operations rewrite

[PATCH 00/19] export operations rewrite

[hch]

This patchset is a medium scale rewrite of the export operations
interface.  The goal is to make the interface less complex, and
easier to understand from the filesystem side, aswell as preparing
generic support for exporting of 64bit inode numbers.

This touches all nfs exporting filesystems, and I've done testing
on all of the filesystems I have here locally (xfs, ext2, ext3, reiserfs,
jfs)

Compared to the last version I've fixed the white space issues that
checkpatch.pl complained about.

Note that this patch series is against mainline.  There will be some
xfs changes landing in -mm soon that revamp lots of the code touched
here.  They should hopefully include the first path in the series so
it can be simply dropped, but the xfs conversion will need some smaller
updates.  I will send this update as soon as the xfs tree updates get
pulled into -mm.

OK, thanks again.  Everything I have now is in

	git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/linux.git	for-mm

I'm hoping Neil can take a quick look as well (and make a response to
the comment on patch #1 along the way).

OK.  Let me know if you need me to do anything when that happens.

The exportfs_d_alloc one?  I have a patch for the done, I just need
to run it through my testing setup before sending it out.

Oops, I meant #19, not #1--there's still a note addressed to Neil
sitting in there.

Typing faster than I was thinking, sorry--b.

These 19 patches
Acked-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

I didn't do a very thorough review this time, but I did the previous
time, and the one problem I found (module dependencies) has been
addressed - Thanks.
