Hi Hugh,

The new hang I'm seeing is much simpler to analyse (compared to shmem_fallocate) and
doesn't seem to be related. I'll send a separate mail and Cc you just in case, but
I don't think that this patchset has anything to do with it.

Otherwise, I've been unable to reproduce the shmem_fallocate hang.


Thanks,
Sasha
