Hi David,

As we discussed offline, I will test out the fscache rewrite integration in cifs.ko later this week and submit the final patch to linux-cifs mailing list.
As a part of this, I will fix all the conflicts that arise.
Is this okay with you?
I hope this will eliminate the conflicts between the two trees for now?

Regards,
Shyam
