From: "Denis V. Lunev" <den@xxxxxxxxxx> Unfortunately, BUG_ON(IS_ROOT(dentry)) can happen inside nfs_follow_mountpoint with NFS running Fedora 8 using a specific setup. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=458622 So the situation should be handled on NFS client gracefully. Signed-off-by: Denis V.
