+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #364351 +++ This patch was pushed upstream last June. The testcase fails on current RHEL4 and RHEL5. Patch fixes RHEL4 and I assume it'll fix RHEL5 as well. Description of problem and testcase is in the patch description. There is some speculation that this problem may be related to the problems seen in bug 327591. At the very least though, this is a reproducible problem in and of itself and should probably be fixed. -- Additional comment from jlayton on 2007-11-02 13:55 EST -- Created an attachment (id=246911) patch -- discard pagecahe for dirs on dentry iput

Oops. I have lined up this patch for 68.9 build and not 68.8. Putting it back to POST.
Is there any status on when this will be in RHEL5? We've delayed RHEL5 upgrades until this patch makes it into a blessed Redhat eratta kernel.
