Just to address you lkml post - you should post XFS bug reports
to xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx, otherwise they may not be seen. if you do
post to lkml, putting "XFS" in the subject line means it will
probably be noticed by the XFS folk. Better is "[BUG, XFS] <rest of subject>".
As it is, it looks this commit:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=bad5584332e888ac40ca13584e8c114149ddb01e
is using the wrong allocation primitive - it's allowing memory
reclaim to recurse into the filesystem and then deadlocking.
I'll attach a patch to fix it in a second.
BTW, thanks for reporting the bug with all the relevant info.
