Did you really mean to use the second link "14446" ?
It points to a patch from Ted fixing a memory leak into the Orlov allocator, which is not very useful.
You probably meant http://lwn.net/Articles/14447/, which contains the full Orlov ext3 patch? - 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/
