Can I share the patch with the linux-distros list, so that
distros can do their own testing and preparations?

Be _VERY_ aware of the rules regarding that list before you send
anything as you are going to have some very strict rules put on you with
regards to what you must do once you post to them.

Personally, I would prefer if this gets into Linus's tree first so that
we can get it into a stable release before letting distros know about
it, otherwise you are forcing me into a very tight schedule that might
require you to tell the world about the problem _BEFORE_ the fix is in
Linus's or any stable kernel trees.

I think that ship has sailed, as the linux-nfs list was cc'ed on this
patch.

Ah, missed that, nice!

So no need to let linux-distros know about it either :)

thanks,
