+config AUFS_FS
+	tristate "Aufs (Advanced multi layered unification filesystem) support"
+	depends on EXPERIMENTAL
+	help
+	Aufs is a stackable unification filesystem such as Unionfs,
+	which unifies several directories and provides a merged single
+	directory.
+	In the early days, aufs was entirely re-designed and
+	re-implemented Unionfs Version 1.x series. Introducing many
+	original ideas, approaches and improvements, it becomes totally
+	different from Unionfs while keeping the basic features.
+
+if AUFS_FS
+choice
+	prompt "Maximum number of branches"
+	default AUFS_BRANCH_MAX_127
+	help
+	Specifies the maximum number of branches (or member directories)
+	in a single aufs. The larger value consumes more system
+	resources and has a minor impact to performance.
+config AUFS_BRANCH_MAX_127
+	bool "127"
+	help
+	Specifies the maximum number of branches (or member directories)
+	in a single aufs. The larger value consumes more system
+	resources and has a minor impact to performance.

+	in a single aufs. The larger value consumes more system
+	resources and has a minor impact to performance.
+config AUFS_BRANCH_MAX_1023

+	bool "Detect direct branch access (bypassing aufs)"
+	help
+	If you want to modify files on branches directly, eg. bypassing aufs,
+	and want aufs to detect the changes of them fully, then enable this
+	option and use 'udba=notify' mount option.
+	Currently there is only one available configuration, "fsnotify".

+	bool "Readdir in userspace"
+	help
+	Aufs has two methods to provide a merged view for a directory,
+	by a user-space library and by kernel-space natively. The latter
+	is always enabled but sometimes large and slow.
+	If you enable this option, install the library in aufs2-util
+	package, and set some environment variables for your readdir(3),
+	then the work will be handled in user-space which generally
+	shows better performance in most cases.
+	See detail in aufs.5.
+
+config AUFS_SP_IATTR
+	bool "Respect the attributes (mtime/ctime mainly) of special files"
+	help
+	When you write something to a special file, some attributes of it
+	(mtime/ctime mainly) may be updated. Generally such updates are
+	less important (actually some device drivers and NFS ignore
+	it). But some applications (such like test program) requires
+	such updates. If you need these updates, then enable this
+	configuration which introduces some overhead.
+	Currently this configuration handles FIFO only.
+
+config AUFS_SHWH
+	bool "Show whiteouts"
+	help
+	If you want to make the whiteouts in aufs visible, then enable
+	this option and specify 'shwh' mount option. Although it may
+	sounds like philosophy or something, but in technically it
+	simply shows the name of whiteout with keeping its behaviour.
+
+config AUFS_BR_RAMFS
+	bool "Ramfs (initramfs/rootfs) as an aufs branch"
+	help
+	If you want to use ramfs as an aufs branch fs, then enable this
+	option. Generally tmpfs is recommended.
+	Aufs prohibited them to be a branch fs by default, because
+	initramfs becomes unusable after switch_root or something
+	generally. If you sets initramfs as an aufs branch and boot your
+	system by switch_root, you will meet a problem easily since the
+	files in initramfs may be inaccessible.
+	Unless you are going to use ramfs as an aufs branch fs without
+	switch_root or something, leave it N.

+/* [Feb-1997 T. Schoebel-Theuer]
+ * Fundamental changes in the pathname lookup mechanisms (namei)
+ * were necessary because of omirr.  The reason is that omirr needs
+ * to know the _real_ pathname, not the user-supplied one, in case
+ * of symlinks (and also when transname replacements occur).
+ *
+ * The new code replaces the old recursive symlink resolution with
+ * an iterative one (in case of non-nested symlink chains).  It does
+ * this with calls to <fs>_follow_link().
+ * As a side effect, dir_namei(), _namei() and follow_link() are now 
+ * replaced with a single function lookup_dentry() that can handle all 
+ * the special cases of the former code.
+ *
+ * With the new dcache, the pathname is stored at each inode, at least as
+ * long as the refcount of the inode is positive.  As a side effect, the
+ * size of the dcache depends on the inode cache and thus is dynamic.
+ *
+ * [29-Apr-1998 C. Scott Ananian] Updated above description of symlink
+ * resolution to correspond with current state of the code.
+ *
+ * Note that the symlink resolution is not *completely* iterative.
+ * There is still a significant amount of tail- and mid- recursion in
+ * the algorithm.  Also, note that <fs>_readlink() is not used in
+ * lookup_dentry(): lookup_dentry() on the result of <fs>_readlink()
+ * may return different results than <fs>_follow_link().  Many virtual
+ * filesystems (including /proc) exhibit this behavior.
+ */
+
+/* [24-Feb-97 T. Schoebel-Theuer] Side effects caused by new implementation:
+ * New symlink semantics: when open() is called with flags O_CREAT | O_EXCL
+ * and the name already exists in form of a symlink, try to create the new
+ * name indicated by the symlink. The old code always complained that the
+ * name already exists, due to not following the symlink even if its target
+ * is nonexistent.  The new semantics affects also mknod() and link() when
+ * the name is a symlink pointing to a non-existant name.
+ *
+ * I don't know which semantics is the right one, since I have no access
+ * to standards. But I found by trial that HP-UX 9.0 has the full "new"
+ * semantics implemented, while SunOS 4.1.1 and Solaris (SunOS 5.4) have the
+ * "old" one. Personally, I think the new semantics is much more logical.
+ * Note that "ln old new" where "new" is a symlink pointing to a non-existing
+ * file does succeed in both HP-UX and SunOs, but not in Solaris
+ * and in the old Linux semantics.

+ * The worst of all namespace operations - renaming directory. "Perverted"

+ * Problems:
+ *	a) we can get into loop creation. Check is done in is_subdir().
+ *	b) race potential - two innocent renames can create a loop together.
+ *	   That's where 4.4 screws up. Current fix: serialization on
+ *	   sb->s_vfs_rename_mutex. We might be more accurate, but that's another
+ *	   story.
+ *	c) we have to lock _three_ objects - parents and victim (if it exists).
+ *	   And that - after we got ->i_mutex on parents (until then we don't know
+ *	   whether the target exists).  Solution: try to be smart with locking
+ *	   order for inodes.  We rely on the fact that tree topology may change
+ *	   only under ->s_vfs_rename_mutex _and_ that parent of the object we
+ *	   move will be locked.  Thus we can rank directories by the tree
+ *	   (ancestors first) and rank all non-directories after them.
+ *	   That works since everybody except rename does "lock parent, lookup,
+ *	   lock child" and rename is under ->s_vfs_rename_mutex.
+ *	   HOWEVER, it relies on the assumption that any object with ->lookup()
+ *	   has no more than 1 dentry.  If "hybrid" objects will ever appear,
+ *	   we'd better make sure that there's no link(2) for them.
+ *	d) some filesystems don't support opened-but-unlinked directories,
+ *	   either because of layout or because they are not ready to deal with
+ *	   all cases correctly. The latter will be fixed (taking this sort of
+ *	   stuff into VFS), but the former is not going away. Solution: the same
+ *	   trick as in rmdir().
+ *	e) conversion from fhandle to dentry may come in the wrong moment - when
+ *	   we are removing the target. Solution: we will have to grab ->i_mutex
+ *	   in the fhandle_to_dentry code. [FIXME - current nfsfh.c relies on
+ *	   ->i_mutex on parents, which works but leads to some truly excessive
+ *	   locking].
