Hi,

I have tested w/ Al's patch from [1].

AFAICS this changes are now updated in vfs.git#for-linus branch as

commit 9d25fe7e232b ("switch mnt_hash to hlist").

I had a 2nd trouble w/ the old code, installing a Debian package
resulted also in a freeze.
This now works.

The LTP test is still running... and my -5 kernel with Al's fix seems
to hit the 700+ KiB barrier in my logs.

$ LC_ALL=C ls -l /opt/ltp/runltp-log_3.14.0-rc7-[0-9]*-iniza-small.txt

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1142248 Mar 23 11:44
/opt/ltp/runltp-log_3.14.0-rc7-66-iniza-small.txt

[ NOTE ]
-66: vanilla Linus-tree
-4: -66 plus old vfs-fixes
-5: -66 plus old vfs-fixes plus Al's fix from [1]

If you like give the usual credits.

Regards,
- Sedat -

P.S.: [Off-topic] With vanilla -66 kernel I have some OOPS in the
oom[1..5] tests of LTP. Whom to adress? mm-folks?
