On at least 3 different machines, we have seen dentry shrink list corruption with 3.14 stable kernel (see the end of this email), which I think is fixed by a set of patches from Al. This bug is probably introduced by the following commit in 3.12: commit dd1f6b2e43a53ee58eb87d5e623cf44e277d005d Author: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Aug 28 10:17:55 2013 +1000 dcache: remove dentries from LRU before putting on dispose list since previously we held the per sb lock. It is hard to reproduce this bug, because it is a race condition which happens when we update two contiguous dentries on a shrink list. Matt ran some ltp stress tests and doesn't see any problem with the patched kernel. And, 3.13 needs them too, but we have no time or resource to backport or test them on 3.13. The first 7 patches are the original patchset from Al, the rest of patches are either needed for context or are folllow-up fixes, especially the last 2 patches. Of course all of them are merged in upstream, see each patch for details. Note, I don't get any conflict when backporting them to 3.14.
