The patch titled freevxfs: Add missing lock_kernel() to vxfs_readdir has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is freevxfs-add-missing-lock_kernel-to-vxfs_readdir.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: freevxfs: Add missing lock_kernel() to vxfs_readdir From: Josh Triplett <josht@xxxxxxxxxx> Commit 7b2fd697427e73c81d5fa659efd91bd07d303b0e in the historical GIT tree stopped calling the readdir member of a file_operations struct with the big kernel lock held, and fixed up all the readdir functions to do their own locking. However, that change added calls to unlock_kernel() in vxfs_readdir, but no call to lock_kernel(). Fix this by adding a call to lock_kernel().
