Subject: [PATCH 0/3] Three VFS patch resends

Hi
 these three patches are all completely separate, but are
 all related to the VFS.  I've posted them all previously
 but with, as yet, no response (except an ack from Paul McKenney
 for the RCU one).  One was, admitted, posted early last year...

 I would appreciate review and, hopefully, acceptance.

Thanks,
NeilBrown
