Is this destined for 2.6.37?
We have the Ceph preparatory patches ready. They're actually in
linux-next now, because -next also includes some ceph code reorganization,
and git isn't quite smart enough to merge the two on its own. Which makes
a bit of a mess of things... :(
I suspect the easiest thing is to leave Ceph out of this stage of your
series, I'll switch lock_kernel() to lock_flocks() once that exists
upstream. Unless there is a better way?
