I am not supprised at all by this, I can see two csets in Linus' tree
that will definitely break dcache -
1. http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.5/cset@1.1215.104.2?nav=index.html|ChangeSet@-2d
__d_drop() *must not* initialize d_hash fields. Lockfree lookup depends on
that. If __d_drop() needs to be allowed on an unhashed dentry, the right
thing to do would be to check for DCACHE_UNHASHED before unhashing. I will
submit a patch a little later to do this.
2. http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.5/cset@1.1215.104.1?nav=index.html|ChangeSet@-2d
hlist poison patch is broken. list_del_rcu() and hlist_del_rcu()
*must not* re-initialize the pointers. Maneesh submitted a patch
earlier today that corrects this -
