Hi Roman,

This is definitely one patch I'd like to see in the kernel. The main
interest for NFS is the fact that you can (and do) send the struct file to
readpage() on regular files. This will finally allow us to resolve the
issue of using the correct RPC credentials for suid processes under NFS.

I would have proposed something like this myself, but I got the
impression early on in the 2.3.x development that (at least some) people
involved in the VFS rewrite were violently opposed to the idea.

Cheers,
Trond
