Andrew, Four bug fixes on the dirty inode lists :-)
They can be put immediately after the patch file named writeback-fix-periodic-superblock-dirty-inode-flushing.patch: [PATCH 1/6] writeback: fix time ordering of the per superblock inode lists 8 [PATCH 2/6] writeback: fix ntfs with sb_has_dirty_inodes() [PATCH 3/6] writeback: remove pages_skipped accounting in __block_write_full_page() [PATCH 4/6] writeback: introduce writeback_control.more_io to indicate more io Also the check_dirty_inode_list.patch should be updated in place: [PATCH 5/6] check dirty inode list And this one is required to avoid warnings from the above debug patch: [PATCH 6/6] prevent time-ordering warnings Although not yet tested in highly parallel write workloads, I'm pretty sure that the time ordering bug is gone :) Thank you, Fengguang -- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
