Subject: [patch for 2.6.27? 1/1] nfs: BUG_ON in nfs_follow_mountpoint
Date: Tue, 02 Sep 2008 14:48:35 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200809022148.m82LmarS014387@imap1.linux-foundation.org> (raw)

From: "Denis V. Lunev" <den@openvz.org>

Unfortunately, BUG_ON(IS_ROOT(dentry)) can happen inside
nfs_follow_mountpoint with NFS running Fedora 8 using a specific setup.

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=458622

So the situation should be handled on NFS client gracefully.
