So far it runs fine on 3.1-rc both with my default config and yours,
the latter had been running all night. This is on a 8-core Nehalem
with 8GB of memory, and a fast PCI-e flash device.
One thing I noticed is that your config seems to run many fs tasks
a lot slower than mine, but I'm not entirely sure why.
The only interesting things I noticed in your config where that you
use slub instead of slab, which does a lot of high order allocations
and has caused lots of trouble in the past, and that you enable
CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE, which has caused mis-compilation
of complicated code in the past. I don't want to blame it directly,
but I could see how that causes problems with some of the atomic64_t
games XFS plays since 2.6.38.
