I have audited these and made following patches for the places which I think are problemetic. 1. d_invalidate-fix.patch - fixes race between d_invalidate & lockless d_lookup 2. nfs_unlink-d_count-fix.patch - fixes race with nfs_unlink() 3. hpfs-d_count-fix.patch - fixes race with hpfs_unlink() Thanks, Maneesh -- Maneesh Soni IBM Linux Technology Center, IBM India Software Lab, Bangalore.
