Details, please? I'm currently dealing with that area, so if you give some
details I could check this one.

To fix:
race in devfs_open() (bogus use of ->d_count; waiting for comments from

race in hpfs_unlink() (ditto; fix exists, will be merged soon)
races in nfs_rename() and nfs_unlink() (ditto; ditto)
