Re: [PATCH 0/5] NFS private namespace patchset

[Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>]

Al? Where are you?

I'd like to get ack's on Trond's series, and I'd also like to get an ack 
(or nak) on the (partly related) possible leak in the nd.root path 
reference leak.

Trond - the series looks fine to me, and I guess I'll apply it even 
without Al's acks, but I'd give it a day or two still..
