I guess, you're not on this specific openSUSE git version of 2.6.32.11 (e.g. the preparation for SP1 of SLE11), which, as usual, carries a lot of stuff from later kernels. The offending patch was included in linux-2.6.33 between -rc4 and -rc5: Committer Alex Elder Author Dave Chinner Author date 11.01.10 00:51 Parent xfs: Avoid inodes in reclaim when flushing from inode cache Child xfs: Remove inode iolock held check during allocation Branch master origin (Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/...) Branch 2.6.33.1 (Linux 2.6.33) Follows v2.6.33-rc4 (Linux 2.6.33-rc4) Precedes v2.6.33-rc5 (Linux 2.6.33-rc5) Cheers, Pete -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
