N O T E: ------- 1) Only Patches 4/7 and 7/7 are NEW. Rest of them are _already_ part of ext4 patch queue git tree hosted by Ted.Why the heck are replacements for these things being sent out again when they're already in -mm and they're already in Ted's queue (from which I need to diligently drop them each time I remerge)? Are we all supposed to re-review the entire patchset (or at least #4 and #7) again?
As I mentioned in the note above, only patches #4 and #7 were new and thus these needed to be reviewed. Other patches are _not_ replacements of any of the patches which are already part of -mm and/or in Ted's patch queue. They were posted again as just "placeholders" so that the two new patches (#4 & #7) could be reviewed. Sorry for any confusion.
Please drop the non-ext4 patches from the ext4 tree and send incremental patches against the (non-ext4) fallocate patches in -mm.
Please let us know what you think of Mingming's suggestion of posting all the fallocate patches including the ext4 ones as incremental ones against the -mm. -- Regards, Amit Arora
