See #untested in vfs-2.6.git. I think it should do it, but it *is* completely untested at the moment.As far as I can test, I did not find any problems. Thank you.Did this fix go to Linus? If so, any pointers to the git commit id?
It is commit 27cb1572e3e6bb1f8cf6bb3d74c914a87b131792 "fix deadlock in pivot_root()" in linux-2.6.git .
I'm guessing I will want this in the .38-stable tree?
Yes. We are waiting for tests by Al.
