Subject: [patch 0/7] fault vs truncate/invalidate race fix
Date: Sat, 13 Jan 2007 04:27:42 +0100 (CET)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070113011526.9479.79596.sendpatchset@linux.site> (raw)

The following set of patches fix the fault vs invalidate and fault
vs truncate_range race for filemap_nopage mappings, plus those and
fault vs truncate race for nonlinear mappings.

Hasn't changed since I last submitted it, when it was rejected because
it made one of the buffered write deadlocks easier to hit. I'll try
again.

Patches based on 2.6.20-rc4. Comments?

Thanks,
Nick
