Hi,
Kentaro Suzuki-san gave me a bug report related to the garbage
collection today.
The problem was brought by the recent bugfix patch and turned out to
be causing a new memory leak problem for linux-2.6.30-rc6 and
nilfs2-modules-2.0.13.
This is the bugfix patch against 2.6.30-rc6. I'll send it to Linus
and backport to the module package.
Regards,
Ryusuke Konishi

This fixes a new memory leak problem in garbage collection. The
problem was brought by the bugfix patch ("nilfs2: fix lock order
reversal in nilfs_clean_segments ioctl").
Thanks to Kentaro Suzuki for finding this problem.
