    NTFS: 2.0.23 - Major bug fixes (races, deadlocks, non-i386 architectures). · 8e27b910

    - Massive internal locking changes to mft record locking. Fixes lock
      recursion and replaces the mrec_lock read/write semaphore with a
      mutex. Also removes the now superfluous mft_count. This fixes several
      race conditions and deadlocks, especially in the future write code.
    - Fix ntfs over loopback for compressed files by adding an
      optimization barrier. (gcc was screwing up otherwise ?)
    - Miscellaneous cleanups all over the code and a fix or two in error
      handling code paths.
    Thanks go to Christoph Hellwig for pointing out the following two:
    - Remove now unused function fs/ntfs/malloc.h::vmalloc_nofs().
    - Fix ntfs_free() for ia64 and parisc by checking for VMALLOC_END, too.
