Paul Menage,
When I run a cpuset creation/destruction stress test I have
against the 2.6.23-rc4-mm1 kernel with the task-containersv11-*
patches, I get an BUG or similar within a couple of seconds,
apparently over some fs lock or count confusions.
When I add Andrew Morton's (Thanks, Andrew!) very recent patch:
--- 2.6.23-rc4-mm1.orig/fs/dcache.c 2007-09-14 21:30:19.504902465 -0700
+++ 2.6.23-rc4-mm1/fs/dcache.c 2007-09-15 09:48:40.306230196 -0700
@@ -176,6 +176,7 @@ void dput(struct dentry *dentry)
if (!dentry)
return;
+ WARN_ON_ONCE(!atomic_read(&dentry->d_count));
repeat:
if (atomic_read(&dentry->d_count) == 1)
might_sleep();
... then I get a warning first from the above line, resulting
in the following messages, showing the warning and then the
subsequent BUG:

Can you figure out where this is coming from? It is not
in code that I understand all that well, so I am hoping
that I don't have to spend hours poking around in it to
make sense of the problem.
