Dave, may I ask you kindly for briefly elaborating on the worst consequences of just reverting this hunk, as I've done before?
Well, given that is the new shrinker code generating the warnings, reverting/removing that hunk will render the patch useless :0
Excuse me, I didn't express myself well. I'm after the consequences of applying the revert, that I posted a few messages above.
I'll get you a working 2.6.33 patch tomorrow - it's dinner time now....
Cool, thanks. Have a nice dinner, Pete -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org

Obviously and not totally unexpected, really fixing this is going to take more time. FYI, 2.6.33.2 is still affected from this issue. Greg, you might search for a server using xfs filesystems and and a i586 kernel >= 2.6.33, (2.6.32.11 of SLE11-SP1 will serve as well), log in as an ordinary user, do a "du" on /usr, and wait for the other users screaming... BTW, all affected kernels, available from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/frispete: have the offending patch reverted (see subject), do run fine for me (on this aspect). Will you guys pass by another round of stable fixes without doing anything on this issue? Dave, this is why I'm kindly asking you: what might be the worst consequences, if we just do the revert for now (at least for 2.6.33), until you and Nick came to a final decision on how to solve this issue in the future. Just a brief note would be fine. Cheers, Pete -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org

Is 2.6.33.3-rc2 affected? A lot of xfs patches are in there (as are in 2.6.32.12-rc2.) thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
