The race was initially found using a distro kernel with the patches backported, and in the meantime we've done a lot of testing with this patch (and the two previous that also were backported). I'd prefer to get this full stack that's been in -next for a while and got large machine testing, but if Jens prefers it I can aim for a smaller variant. Jens, what version do you prefer? [1] thee patches are: "writeback: remove writeback_inodes_wbc" a73dd720f081cd160e3843d531eff2195036e442 "writeback: split writeback_inodes_wb" 9f98c0faa41ae334d894762f556195c8a7fb352f -- 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/
