Subject: [announce] vfs-scale git tree update

Git tree is here:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/npiggin/linux-npiggin.git

Branch is:

vfs-scale-working

Changes since last posting:
* Fix for the cgroupfs crash (probably temporary until Al's fixes are
merged).
* Fix a couple of bisectability bugs.
* Fix a race in disconnected dentry alias handling causing NFS to explode
under load. Basically the patch to split dentry hash locks needs to
lock the s_anon list with a seperate lock, which it wasn't doing
properly in the d_move() code.

Thanks to all testers.

Thanks for fixing this so quickly, Nick.
I am looking forward to see Al's vfs work got merged into linux-next.

Here some feedback from IRC #systemd/freenode (21-Dec-2010, UTC+1):

[17:14:23] <mezcaler1> dileks: fun that we are able to trigger such problems
[17:14:46] <mezcaler1> dileks: seems systemd is definitely a good
"test case" already ;-)

Hmm, looks like the new commits were not committed to your remote GIT branch.
Just as a hint the EU mirror seems to work faster for GIT repos
(s/git.kernel.org/git.eu.kernel.org).

P.S.:

$ git pull git://git.eu.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/npiggin/linux-npiggin.git

Already up-to-date.
