I guess, you're not on this specific openSUSE git version of 2.6.32.11 (e.g.
the preparation for SP1 of SLE11), which, as usual, carries a lot of stuff
from later kernels. The offending patch was included in linux-2.6.33
between -rc4 and -rc5:

Committer

Author date

Parent
xfs: Avoid inodes in reclaim when flushing from inode cache
Child
xfs: Remove inode iolock held check during allocation
Branch
master origin (Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/...)
Branch
2.6.33.1 (Linux 2.6.33)
Follows
v2.6.33-rc4 (Linux 2.6.33-rc4)
Precedes
v2.6.33-rc5 (Linux 2.6.33-rc5)

Cheers,
Pete
