Hi all,

I still don't see this patch in the 3.5.x series.
Will it make it into 3.5.5?

Thanks,
Richard

It is fixed upstream by commit 0b728e1911c (stop passing nameidata *
to ->d_revalidate())

Hi Trond,

I don't see this patch going into 3.5.3 at
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.0/stable-review/patch-3.5.3-rc1.gz
.
Shouldn't it be included in 3.5.3 ?

Thanks,
Richard
