Hi all - 

As has been apparent from previous posts, our users are often able to
discover nfs-related bugs before we do, due to the wide variety of
environments in which the testing can happen.

A change was made a while back to add the fh_to_dentry / dentry_to_fh
superblock operations to XFS, which are used for knfsd.  The change was
quickly #ifdef'd out again when problems cropped up.

Some changes have been made since then, and if some brave NFS users
could do a bit of testing with this patch (which re-enables the
methods), we'd greatly appreciate reports of success or failure.  

(Please test this against a fresh CVS checkout from today.)

Thanks,

-Eric
