Hi!

I've tested that the following patch fixes this bug:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/224642

and would appreciate if it made it in the jaunty kernel.

Subject: NFS: Fix the notifications when renaming onto an existing file

NFS appears to be returning an unnecessary "delete" notification when
we're doing an atomic rename. See

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=575684

The fix is to get rid of the redundant call to d_delete().

I'll pick this one up and get some test kernels out.
