Thanks for your comments. I've asked John at dazuko.org about upstreaming this dazuko kernel patch, so we'll see... But I think his focus is more on developing (and eventually upstreaming) the new dazukofs approach.
BTW, the patch to put dazuko in-kernel is very contained; it just adds a security/dazuko directory and doesn't mess w/ any other files. So it *could* be easily dropped if necessary... ;-)
As a note: With the latest kernel changes, a lot of anti-virus vendors are going to have to re-architect their solutions. It would be nice if we could provide them w/ a stable, in-kernel interface. Given that we don't have an upstream solution yet, putting dazuko in-kernel seems like a relatively contained way to solve a customer/partner problem.
In the meantime, I'll keep working w/ the current dazuko-redirfs KMP and try to get some testing in place.

What are the plans for dazuko to be submitted to the upstream kernel and
accepted there? We have a policy of only adding patches to our kernel
tree that are already accepted by the upstream community, otherwise we
end up with big support problems (remember the ckrm mess...)
