[PATCH] xfs: stable update for 2.6.32.x and 2.6.33.y

[Dave Chinner]

G'day,

The following patch that adds a inode reclaim shrinker needs to be
added to both the 2.6.32.x stable series and the 2.6.33.y stable
series.

The regression this patch addresses was introduced in the previous
round of XFS stable updates that have just been released (2.6.32.12
and 2.6.33.3). However, the fix wasn't upstream until after thoes
stable kernels were released, so please consider this for the next
stable releaseѕ.

The same patch applies to the XFS code in both 2.6.32.12 and
2.6.33.3 trees, and has passed a run of xfsqa on both kernels with
limited memory to trigger the OOM conditions that lead to problems.
The upstream commit is 9bf729c0af67897ea8498ce17c29b0683f7f2028.

Cheers,

Dave.
