Re: "netfs: Can't donate prior to front"

[David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>]

Can you apply the attached patch to your kernel, and then run with:

   echo 1 >/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/netfs/netfs_read/enable
   echo 1 >/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/netfs/netfs_rreq/enable
   echo 1 >/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/netfs/netfs_sreq/enable
   echo 1 >/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/netfs/netfs_failure/enable
   echo 1 >/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/netfs/netfs_donate/enable
   echo 1 >/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/netfs/netfs_progress/enable

enabled.  If you can capture the trace output (and compress it!), that should
hopefully help debug this.
