Hi,
I have tested w/ Al's patch from [1].
AFAICS this changes are now updated in vfs.git#for-linus branch as
commit 9d25fe7e232b ("switch mnt_hash to hlist").
I had a 2nd trouble w/ the old code, installing a Debian package
resulted also in a freeze.
This now works.
The LTP test is still running... and my -5 kernel with Al's fix seems
to hit the 700+ KiB barrier in my logs.

[ NOTE ]
-66: vanilla Linus-tree
-4: -66 plus old vfs-fixes
-5: -66 plus old vfs-fixes plus Al's fix from [1]
If you like give the usual credits.
Regards,

P.S.: [Off-topic] With vanilla -66 kernel I have some OOPS in the
oom[1..5] tests of LTP. Whom to adress? mm-folks?
