Subject: [RESEND PATCHv2 0/2] A couple of i_dir_seq fixes for fs/dcache.c
Date: Tue,  6 Mar 2018 19:05:04 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1520363106-4687-1-git-send-email-will.deacon@arm.com> (raw)

Hi again,

This is a resend of the patches I previously posted here:

v1: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1518526731-26546-1-git-send-email-will.deacon@arm.com
v2: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/2/19/360

Since this fixes a livelock that we're seeing in practice, I'd really like
to get these merged if possible.

Thanks,

Will
