Subject: Re: [RESEND][PATCH 00/11] sysfs tagged directories
So, what is the status for this patchset?
So far, we discussed patch 10 a bit and Eric found a better way to fix
the kobject_rename() issue. But there hasn't been much discussion on the
rest of the patchset this time.
Does this mean that there is no strong objection against it now?
Do you think the approach is suitable for what we're aiming to?
Reminder: We need this for network namespaces. Without it network
namespaces testing is still a bit complicated in 2.6.26 (need to disable
sysfs). Also, Serge uses it too for user namespaces.
Should I resend it one more time ported on top of a more recent tree in
the hope it can be merged?
BTW which tree is the best? Linus', Greg's, -mm?
Regards,
Benjamin
