  • Prior to David Howell's mount changes in 2.6.18, users who mounted
    different directories which happened to be from the same filesystem on the
    server would get different super blocks, and hence could choose different
    mount options. As long as there were no hard linked files that crossed from
    one subtree to another, this was quite safe.
    Post the changes, if the two directories are on the same filesystem (have
    the same 'fsid'), they will share the same super block, and hence the same
    mount options.

    Add a flag to allow users to elect not to share the NFS super block with
    another mount point, even if the fsids are the same. This will allow
    users to set different mount options for the two different super blocks, as
    was previously possible. It is still up to the user to ensure that there
    are no cache coherency issues when doing this, however the default
    behaviour will be to share super blocks whenever two paths result in
    the same fsid.

  • READDIRPLUS can be a performance hindrance when the client is working with
    large directories. In addition, some servers still have bugs in their
    implementations (e.g. Tru64 returns wrong values for the fsid).

    Add a mount flag to enable users to turn it off at mount time following the
    implementation in Apple's NFS client.

  • This adds acl support fo nfs clients via the NFSACL protocol extension, by
    implementing the getxattr, listxattr, setxattr, and removexattr iops for the
    system.posix_acl_access and system.posix_acl_default attributes. This patch
    implements a dumb version that uses no caching (and thus adds some overhead).
    (Another patch in this patchset adds caching as well.)

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
