<shrug> credentials cache. 2.5 fodder. Notice that with NFS you
don't have fsync for directories. At all. So that's not a problem
in that particular case - you can pass NULL on all subsequent
iterations. On the first step you need struct file * - NFS needs
credentials to pass to the server.
How about passing NULL then for now? --- and explicitly requiring
->fsync accept NULL for the first argument and ignore it? It would be
nice to know that this is the case then though, because we could stop
immediately.
