Subject: NFS writes broken in net-next-2.6

In net-next-2.6, close() of a file after writing tends to return 1.
This causes e.g. gcc to abort.

This appears to have been fixed in 2.6.36-rc2:

commit 0702099bd86c33c2dcdbd3963433a61f3f503901
Author: J. R. Okajima <hooanon05@...oo.co.jp>

    NFS: fix the return value of nfs_file_fsync()

Please consider merging this fix in some way.

Ben.
