Subject: [3.14] Additional fixes after dcache backports
Date: Thu, 3 Dec 2015 22:52:13 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20151203215213.GA13221@bender.morinfr.org> (raw)
Greg,
The following commits were added to 3.14.51:
635fa0fd72cc974920ec3e3b23f50bde1eba3237 dcache: don't need rcu in shrink_dentry_list()
85903ac93619905fe0f07e85dac57324a0936759 more graceful recovery in umount_collect()
c214cb82cdc744225d85899fc138251527f75fff don't remove from shrink list in select_collect()
They create a livelock condition reported at the time in 3.15-rc4, see
the thread "fs/dcache.c - BUG: soft lockup - CPU#5 stuck for 22s!
[systemd-udevd:1667]":

(they are already in 3.12 and were merged at the same time as the 3
