Ok - I'll explictly lock the i_mutex in fs/splice.c:generic_file_splice_write(). The ugliness there is that the mutex will always be taken - even if there is no xattr to be removed or even if CONFIG_SECURITY=n. I guess I'll do some perf runs and see what kind of impact that has. thanks, -serge - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
