This in particular includes a fix from Denis Lunev to cure the instability in 2.4.19pre9aa1 introduced by the first revision of the inode-highmem fix (I also changed invalidate_inode_pages so that it runs try_to_release_page for ext3 as suggested by Andrew a few days ago). So everybody running 2.4.19pre9aa1 is recommended to upgrade to 2.4.19pre9aa2 ASAP.
