Hi,

This is a long-standing problem we've known about for years, and there
has been a long-standing discussion about it. I've made some attempts to
fix it, but none have been satisfactory. Some people in the upstream
community insist there should be a 1:1 correspondence between inodes
and address spaces (which is the root of the problem), but there seems
to be no documentation to back that up. What we do know well is this
scenario, which does indeed make that assumption. While we ponder the
problem, it seems to cause no harm unless you have lockdep set, so it's
never been our highest priority to fix.

Regards,
