Thanks for the explanation Dave. I suspected a generic bug because the two places mentioned are generic code. Turns out only XFS and some cluster filesystems are affected because other filesystems do not call those under filesystem locks or i_mutex. But it seem like AOP_FLAG_NOFS is indeed pointless and we should remove it, in XFS as part of this patch and everywhere else later after talking to the maintainers for the few other places using it. _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
