about :
v9fs provides a Plan 9 9P2000 resource sharing protocol for the Linux 2.6
kernel. This can be used to share files, devices, /proc, /sys, etc. It
also works with Plan 9 file servers, and can be used to mount synthetic
file systems from Plan 9 applications (see the plan9port project).

Changes:
split dentry routines out to vfs_dentry to reduce vfs_inode size, get rid
of dynamic rpc struct allocation and associated slab, get rid of vestigial
address_space_operations, fix type name convention to Linux kernel
standard, remove potential slab leak in init_v9fs, modify QID to prevent
inodes of 0 or 1, change packet and mistruct slab alloc to kmalloc, remove
BUG() statements in OOM cases, clean up more bogus kfree checks, clean up
error cases and redundant assignments in vfs_inode, change the way aname
(remotename) is specified and allocated
