Hi,
This has been posted sometime back, I have a rather simple query, should
this change be applied to xfs 1.0.1 on 2.4.2?
Since it is mentioned that it was needed for an earlier version and we
happen to be at an earlier version, it is prudent to check.
Thanks and Regards
Amit

This may be what Andrew Tridgell hit, I hit it running dbench 140
and deadlocked between kswapd reclaiming inodes and kupdated
flushing inodes. 160 stack traces later......

linux/fs/xfs/xfs_vnodeops.c - 1.508
- Remove ABBA deadlock between ilock and ihash lock, the ihash lock in
xfs_finish_reclaim is a hang over from an earlier implementation on
Linux, we do not need it anymore, and at some point this deadlock
got introduced.
