Subject: Regression introduced by bfcfaa77bdf0f775263e906015982a608df01c76
(vfs: use 'unsigned long' accesses for dcache name comparison and hashing)
Hey Linus,
I am not sure how to debug this but with v3.3 with just that git commit I can't
start an user space application called 'xenstored'. A bit of strace showed me:
[edit, also with todays linus/master I get the same issue, and if I revert
your patch it works again]
(right is 3.3, left is with your patch)

and if I ls /proc/xen (v3.3):

-????????? ? ? ? ? ? xsd_port
Looking at the code that sets up 'xsd_port' it looks pretty innocent
and similar to other drivers (ibmasm for example).
Also attached is the .config
Note: to actually bootup the latest with Xen there are some fixes required
to fix the regressions introduced:
