Hi Qiao,

This patch-set is very much appreciated.  I saw Al Viro's original LKML patch
posted back in December (?), and had been waiting to see an actual kernel with
it in place.  The most recent in-house RHEL/Fedora test kernels I have on-hand
are all 3.2.x-era kernels, which don't have the patch, so I'm presuming you're
running on a 3.3.x kernel?

Anyway, I'll check this patch out for backwards-compatibility and try to
get a more recent kernel to test with.  It looks good on paper...

And again, thanks for taking on this task.

Dave
