They will apply cleanly to 2.6.17-rc4-mm1 with Badari's API changes already applied. Christoph, Badari, Trond, and Zach have already seen these at least once, but they are in need of wider review and testing. I'd welcome their inclusion in an mm kernel. -- corporate: cel at netapp dot com personal: chucklever at bigfoot dot com
