The current ubc_direct code still has the problem that I pointed out originally,
which is that it deadlocks if you read() or write() a page of a file into
a mapping of itself. We should not enable this by default until that problem
is fixed.
Right, I completely forgot about this.
I have a small program which triggers the deadlock quite reliably. Never got around to actually add it into test suite because it caused problems also on other system I run it on.
Andrew, would you by chance be interested to look at this?
