Summary: ext3 works, page_launder() doesn't :)
The tree is based on the porting work which Peter Braam did. It's
in cvs in Jeff Garzik's home on sourceforge. Info on CVS is at
http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=3242 - the module name
is `ext3'. There's a README there which describes how

These changes have a very low impact on the journalling code,

Yes, I had added this (at least in skeleton form) in my ext3 tree.
If only I could keep up with you and Daniel for both the ext3 and
indexed directory stuff, I might be able to submit it...

Or ext5 (= ext2 + ext3).
It rather depends on where the buffercache ends up. ext3 is
a client
AFAIK the original stated intention of ext3 was
cd linux/fs
cp -a ext2 ext3
# hack on ext3
That leaves ext2 in ultra-stability,
no-patches-unless-absolutely-necessary mode.
IMHO prove a new feature, like directories in page cache, journaling,
etc. in ext3 first. Then

It's hard to find working quota tools. Most of them
either don't want to compile and/or don't understand
