From: Alexander ViroTo: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH][CFT] ext2 directories in pagecache Date: Thu, 12 Apr 2001 12:33:42 -0400 (EDT) Cc: "Theodore Y. Ts'o" Folks, IMO ext2-dir-patch got to the stable stage. Currently it's against 2.4.4-pre2, but it should apply to anything starting with 2.4.2 or so. Ted, could you review it for potential inclusion into 2.4 once it gets enough testing? It's ext2-only (the only change outside of ext2 is exporting waitfor_one_page()), it doesn't change fs layout, it seriously simplifies ext2/dir.c and ext2/namei.c and it gives better VM behaviour. Patch is on ftp.math.psu.edu/pub/viro/ext2-dir-patch.gz Folks, please give it a good beating - it works here, but I'd really like it to get wide testing. Help would be very welcome.
