Ok, so I took another look at the report Vladimir sent me. The trace he ran into was in the delete inode path, but was still a race between the xattr_sem and the inode sem. Since we're locking the xattr root on the xattr read path now, this condition arises more freqently, but it's really the same one he reported. I'm using the default openSUSE config, which doesn't enable mutex debugging. I'll rebuild with it, and hopefully come up with a way to kill the warning. - -Jeff - -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGMhP8LPWxlyuTD7IRAiInAJwO7Tpga98WvcPICFMSyvb0vSAvrQCdEbal XScT+lxIu181A6KNzKhNuYw= =K/gK -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
