Hi,
during the 3.0.6 kernel stressing on dual-opteron machine i've noticed warnings in dmesg.
bugzilla.kernel.org is down currently, so i'm CCing last fs/dcache.c commiters.
i hope that this shortlog will help you.
BR,
Paweł.

Al, any idea on this one?
mnt->mnt_parent should equal mnt only for a root dentry, but detaching
mount-points and mnt_clone() ends up doing it too, so maybe there is
some way where that "global_root" test triggers on a dentry that
hasn't been allocated with d_alloc_root().
I wonder how useful that warning is at all.
