I tried this series on a ppc64 machine running KVM guests and doing
network traffic, while under memory pressure, and it seems to work
fine. Although the original problem was never completely
deterministically reproducible, the problem did originally show up
with the combination of memory pressure, network traffic and KVM
guests. I pushed the test machine moderately hard for a while and
there was no sign of stack overflow. So:

Tested-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

Are you going to push this upstream?

Thanks,
Paul.
