Presumably to address the cifs equivalent of NFS bug (drop_nlink warning): https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=822703
your patch which wraps drop_nlink in i_lock spinlock (as Jeff noted addresses only part of the problem) http://git.altlinux.org/people/piastry/public/cifs-2.6.git?p=cifs-2.6.git;a=patch;h=df2d6b1fbf2401c5ee04f2ac143ea0954e3a87a6 shouldn't it also wrap the three places in fs/cifs/inode.c which do set_nlink? -- Thanks, Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-cifs" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
