Hi,
Just an FYI as it might be useful to those using xfs 1.0.1.
The fix to the problem originally reported by me is to have the mmap_sem
as rw_semaphore and the new rw_semaphore implementation as in 2.4.7. So
though xfs_read showed up in stack trace during the process hang, this
was more of a mainline kernel fix.
Robert's tip that 2.4.7 fixes it helped.
Thanks and Regards
Amit
