Re: [PATCH v3] SUNRPC: set desired file system root before connecting local transports

["J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@fieldses.org>]

Cc'ing Eric since I seem to recall he suggested doing it this way?

Seems OK to me, but maybe that swap_root should be in common code?  (Or
maybe we could use set_fs_root()?)

I'm assuming it's up to Trond to take this.--b.
