Hi all,

After merging the vfs-brauner tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
pseries_le_defconfig) qemu boot test failed like this:

 pstore: backend (nvram) writing error (-1)

Caused by commit

  0eccf222d798 ("fs: port files to file_ref")

I bisected it to this commit, the commit before boots OK.

I have reverted that commit for today.

The qemu command line is:

qemu-system-ppc64 -M pseries,cap-hpt-max-page-size=4k,accel=kvm  -m 2G -vga none -nographic -enable-kvm -kernel $vmlinux -initrd $initrd

but 

qemu-system-ppc64 -M pseries -m 2G -vga none -nographic -kernel $vmlinux -initrd $initrd

fails as well.
