Is anyone working on the kernel nfs server? is linux-nfs-0.4.21.tar.gz
the most recent version? I tried to compile it with the kernel 2.1.112
and 2.1.115 and the tools did not compile because they indirectly include
asm/system.h which has in like 40:

extern void FASTCALL(__switch_to(struct task_struct *prev, ....

FASTCALL is defined in linux/kernel.h, but inside #ifdef __KERNEL__.
NFS tools are (naturally) compiled without this #define. As a result,
there is a syntax error. Moving #define FASTCALL outside of #ifdef
__KERNEL__ helps. I am attaching the diff but I am not sure if it
is right.

knfsd (or kmountd?) works in a weird way anyway... Sometimes it refuses
to satisfy mount request without obvious reason. Locking seems to always
fail...
