AFAICS this changes are now updated in vfs.git#for-linus branch as commit 9d25fe7e232b ("switch mnt_hash to hlist"). I had a 2nd trouble w/ the old code, installing a Debian package resulted also in a freeze. This now works. The LTP test is still running... and my -5 kernel with Al's fix seems to hit the 700+ KiB barrier in my logs. $ LC_ALL=C ls -l /opt/ltp/runltp-log_3.14.0-rc7-[0-9]*-iniza-small.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 733184 Mar 23 09:51 /opt/ltp/runltp-log_3.14.0-rc7-4-iniza-small.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 822533 Mar 24 09:51 /opt/ltp/runltp-log_3.14.0-rc7-5-iniza-small.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1142248 Mar 23 11:44 /opt/ltp/runltp-log_3.14.0-rc7-66-iniza-small.txt [ NOTE ] -66: vanilla Linus-tree -4: -66 plus old vfs-fixes -5: -66 plus old vfs-fixes plus Al's fix from [1] If you like give the usual credits.
