Hi Al,
you "unofficially" told me that you want to get rid of '->write_super()' and 'sync_supers()' should not exist. And FSes which really need '->write_super()' should implement that themselves.
I will try to work on this, but a bit later, after my holidays. But could you please:
1. confirm that you want to kill '->write_super()' and '->s_dirt' "officially", so that I could refer to this when sending patches
2. pick up patches 1-6 from this series, this would make my life easier a bit.
I'm not sure then what do do with:
commit 140236b4b1c749c9b795ea3d11558a0eb5a3a080 Author: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com> Date: Thu Jun 10 13:56:33 2010 +0300
VFS: introduce s_dirty accessors
which Linus merged, but which is now not needed, since you now want me to kill '->write_super()' completely. Will you take care of this please?
Thanks!
