Linus, please pull the following XFS fix in for 3.0-rc7 (or final). Previously, a dubious trick was used to avoid a race involving inodes in the active item list. This fix is pretty simple, and the result is a much cleaner and more direct (and reliable) solution to the problem. It looks like I missed the last -next build for a while. But I have done a merge of my branch with your current master branch (shown below). The result has no conflicts and builds and tests just fine. Thank you. -Alex The following changes since commit f1bb20a8365f6753e0f7b6e94981ca2b662bae13: Merge branch 'for-30-rc5/all-i2c' of git://git.fluff.org/bjdooks/linux (2011-07-07 16:29:29 -0700) are available in the git repository at: git://oss.sgi.com/xfs/xfs for-linus Dave Chinner (1): xfs: unpin stale inodes directly in IOP_COMMITTED fs/xfs/xfs_inode_item.c | 14 ++++++++------ fs/xfs/xfs_trans.c | 4 ++-- 2 files changed, 10 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
