> 21 min ago 	Jeff Layton 	cifs: make dnotify thread experimental code

I think that this patch ^^^ may cause processes to hang indefinitely if the
server goes unresponsive. I think the dnotify thread is the only thing that
prevents this since it wakes things up every 15s. It would be good to get
the wait_for_response patch in soon...

Thanks,
