Re: IRIX XFS filesystem denial of service attack

hi HD - 

I don't believe that Linux is affected.  I've been told that the Linux
I/O path was written specifically to avoid this problem, and I have run
some test cases from our original bug report, and did not see the
described behavior.  I'll look a bit more and reply when I know for
sure.
