This isn't anything to do with NFS. page mapping races definitely lie within the
bailiwick of the VM maintainers.

Reassigning...

Thanks.

Andrew, did you get the patch from Miklos? (see  https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/1/20/122 for why I'm asking this) 

Patch: https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/12/29/131
Comment 4 Hugh Dickins 2011-02-03 21:00:40 UTC
Miklos's most recent patch for this is at:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/1/20/163

An executive summary of the thread that followed would be that hch dislikes the bloat, as we all do, but Miklos and I don't see a decent alternative (and hch has not proposed one).
