By the way, this bug isn't public (I can't access it, anyway).  If RH can't make it public, perhaps a copy of the relevant parts of the bug can be created in bugzilla.linux-nfs.org?  Otherwise, it's hard to tell what you are trying to fix so we can do a thorough patch review.

(Also, I'm not sure why you copied lkml and linux-fsdevel on this NFS-specific user space patch).
