| |
Greetings,
This is a second try at sending ext4 fixes to 2.6.27.y, including an important deadlock fix from kernel bugzilla #12579. The patches were dropped the first time because they depended on a vfs patch which was recently found to be broken on mainline. Now, the vfs patch is not included in this set, only ext4 patches.
Here are the three patches I'm proposing for inclusion in 2.6.27.y:
Theodore Ts'o (1): ext4: Use our own write_cache_pages()
Aneesh Kumar K.V (2): ext4: Fix file fragmentation during large file write. ext4: Implement range_cyclic in ext4_da_writepages instead of write_cache_pages
They will be posted as replies to this message.
I have made some changes to the first two patches to adapt them for the current 2.6.27.47 tree. The changes are detailed between brackets above my signed-off line for each.
Jayson
