The mfc, mss and psmap were not tracked properly and thus not invalidated on context switches (oops !) I also removed the various file->f_mapping = inode->i_mapping; assignments that were done in the other open() routines since that is already done for us by __dentry_open. One improvement we might want to do later is to assign the various ctx-> fields at mmap time instead of file open/close time so that we don't call unmap_mapping_range() on thing that have not been mmap'ed Finally, I added some smp_wmb's after assigning the ctx-> fields to make sure they are visible to other CPUs. I don't think this is really necessary as I suspect locking in the fs layer will make that happen anyway but better safe than sorry.
