What's the status of the patches? I don't see them in current linux-next. I can put them to our for-next for the time being so we can test the btree_inode removal. > This is a pretty big change but ultimately makes extent_buffer reclaim much > cleaner and will make the sub-pagesize blocksize work significantly cleaner. > I've been hammering on this for a few weeks now and seems to be pretty solid. The preparatory patches are ok. The core patch is quite large, although there are simple transformations to the new eb_info, the remaining changes are still quite big for a review. But I don't see a way how to split it, it's basically an all-or-nothing change. Overall it looks ok so I'll put it to for-next. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
