A word of warning to anyone who wants to reproduce this: I believe it caused some data loss during my bisect. Git's test suite does a lot of: mkdir trash.XXXXX ... do some tests in trash.XXXXX rm -rf trash.XXXXX >From reading the patch, I'm guessing the bug is causing wrong dir entries to be returned under load. Random bits of my home directory are missing this morning after my testing; my theory is that when we are unlucky enough to hit the race on the "rm", it can end up deleting random things. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
