Hi,

I remember very vaguely Alexander Viro mentioning some easily
reproducible deadlock when doing mmap followed by write in some specific
sequence (or a page cache in some specific state?).

Can you please remind me of the scenario - weekend is at hand and one
needs to do something about it.

Regards,
Tigran.
