This patch looks reasonable, but Linus' tree has the original code
(therefore the patch did not originate from upstream Linus). You kind of
imply that this NFS bug is "fixed by an upstream commit which corrects
the NFS notifications", but I'm not seeing how that is done in Linus
tree. Can you elaborate? Is this a patch that is ready for the 2.6.30
merge window?
