Thankyou :-) I found our debate very valuable - it helped me clarify my understanding of some areas of linux filesystem semantics (and as I am trying to write a filesystem in my 'spare time', that will turn out to be very useful).

I thought it was our job to kill the bugs *before* they were demonstrated :-) I'm still convinced that the previous code could lead to deadlocks or worse under sufficiently sustained high memory pressure and fs activity. I'll send a patch shortly that fixes the known problems and awkwardnesses in the new code.
