Fix for out-order dput() vs. mntput() (in nfsd_cross_mnt()) plus
several "switch to passing struct path *" ones. Comments would
be welcome...
Entire queue is on git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs-2.6.git/
in "untested".

I haven't tested them, but otherwise they look like fine. Shall queue
them in the nfsd tree?
--b.

Several patches later in VFS queue depend on those, so I'm definitely keeping
them in there; might make sense to duplicate in nfsd tree as well to avoid
inter-tree dependencies. Hell knows, git will cope with that just fine,
so linux-next will be OK with that, but -mm used to have problems with such
things, IIRC.

OK. I'll just ignore them unless it becomes a problem.
I did boot your tree above (c65d9c93...) and run a test or two without
seeing any obvious problem. Feel free to add an
