Given that Michael doesn't have commit access and hasn't AFAIK done any vput() changes (I certain hope he hasn't), I guess you're talking about my vput() changes (adding a proc argument). I've run with them here for a week without any problem (under various loads), and I'm waiting for Peter Wemm to test them under NFS. If they pass, I guess they might be safe enough to commit - I don't think they should be able to cause heavy instability. I don't claim to understand all interactions in the FS area, though, so I feel slightly uncomfortable... Eivind.
