[Cluster-devel] [GIT PULL] gfs2: Recognize mmap + page fault self-recursion to prevent deadlocks

[Andreas Gruenbacher]

Hi Linus,

please consider pulling the following fixes for partially addressing the mmap +
page fault deadlocks.  It's not clear to me if and when we'll find a better
solution, and those fixes prevent a kernel BUG in the simple self-recursion
case at least.  (This is the case that the new fstest [*] reproduces.)

Thanks,
Andreas
