I have three worries: - this is large, with no input from anybody else that I have seen. - I absolutely detest getting encoded patches. It makes it much harder for me to just quickly look them over for an immediate feel for what they look like. - Ingo just did the page cache / buffer cache dirty stuff, this is going to clash quite badly with his changes I suspect.
So would you mind just sending the patches in plaintext, one by one, to avoid at least one of my worries (and as a reference to other people: this is basicall yhow I always prefer patches).
The other worries I'll see about later. The short descriptions sound fine, although I still want to look at the vm_store part closer..
