This is not based on my attempt to make the xfs writeout path generic. Alex's variant is a lot simpler and thus missed various bits required for high sustained writeout performance or xfs functionality. That doesn't mean I want to arge against Alex's code although I'd of course be more happy if we could actually shared code between multiple filesystems. Of ourse the code in it's current form should not go into mpage.c but rather into ext4 so that it doesn't bloat the kernel for everyone. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
