[PATCH][CFT] dcache-ac10-M - dcache threading

From: Alexander Viro (viro@math.psu.edu)
Date: Wed Jun 07 2000 - 01:52:26 EST


New stuff:
        * Fix for races between iput() and ->link() - ->i_count has to be
atomic_t. Race had been there since long - at least for a couple of
months. Yes, it means changes to filesystems. Too bad, but it's either
that or exploitable races able to corrupt the on-disk fs. Submitted to
Alan.

Please, try it. Thing is on ftp.math.psu.edu/pub/viro/dcache-ac10-M.gz.

                                                                Cheers,
                                                                        Al
