Hmmm... This was supposed to have been fixed by the following:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/5/11/489
The rcu_my_thread_group_empty() function that it depends on is in
mainline, but this is not. Checking the -vfs tree... Not seeing it
there, either.
I will repost the patch.
Thank you for following up on this!!!
Thanx, Paul
