From: Andrew Morton <akpm@zip.com.au> To: lkml <linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org>, "ext3-users@redhat.com" <ext3-users@redhat.com> Subject: ext3-2.4-0.9.10 Date: Sun, 23 Sep 2001 23:01:51 -0700 An ext3 patch against linux 2.4.10 is at http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ This patch is *lightly tested* - ie, it boots and does stuff. The changes to ext3 are small, but the kernel which it patches has recently changed a lot. If you're cautious, please wait a couple of days. The patch retains the buffer-tracing code. This will soon be broken out into a separate patch to make ext3 suitable for submission for the mainstream kernel. Changelog: - Fix an oops which could occur at unmount time due to non-empty orphan list. This could be triggered by an earlier error during a truncate. - Merge Ted's directory scan speedup heuristic. - Remove the abort_write() address_space_operation by ensuring that all prepare_write() callers always call commit_write(). - A number of changes to suit the new 2.4.10 VM and buffer-layer design. - - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
