the archives are dead for a long time. I posted the full details including
patch on lkml:

you can refer to this post. I appreciate if you keep me informed.
BTW I checked 2.5 and Devfs code in question is the same. Unless locking
rules changed substantially (not yet checked) it means the same race
condition.
What people think about moving the project to public place like sourceforge?
I have patch for devfsd moutils/module-init-tools interoperability (will
post later), some modules.devfs cleanups but how can update(s) be made
available?
