Re: [Xen-devel] Regression introduced by bfcfaa77bdf0f775263e906015982a608df01c76 (vfs: use 'unsigned long' accesses for dcache name comparison and hashing)



No idea if it is related and haven't bisected, but we are seeing
similar ENOENT issues with things in selinuxfs.  And not a single bit
of SELinux code has changed since v3.3.  So it's certainly a VFS
problem.  This sounds likely.
