Joern,
The Logfs tree contains the last ioctl bkl pushdown that is not yet upstream.

"logfs: kill BKL"
This patch seems to have missed the 2.6.35 merge window already. Do you
plan to make a pull request for 2.6.36 that includes this patch?
In fact the merge window is almost closed now. Since this is delaying
the final removal of struct file_operations:ioctl, the only solution
for us would be to cherry pick this patch from your tree. But
really I would hate to do that behind your back.
Please tell us what are your plans.
Thanks.
