    Thanks for adding me to the thread.

    I don' t know yet. I was notified of the problem through bugzilla:
    http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8128

    The problem appears that a non-uptodate page has been marked dirty. I
    haven't found much in the way of changes between 2.6.20 and the current
    git tree to explain this. There's this one:
    http://git.kernel.org/gitweb.cgi?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=22c8ca78f20724676b6006232bf06cc3e9299539

    I'm looking for for a caller to ->prepare_write() which marks the page
    dirty without calling ->commit_write().

    Will, could you try reverting that patch? If that fails, narrowing the
    problem down with git-bisect would be helpful, if you have the time.

    Thanks,
    Shaggy
