This patch adds NTFS Read-Write driver to fs/ntfs3.

Having decades of expertise in commercial file systems development and huge
test coverage, we at Paragon Software GmbH want to make our contribution to
the Open Source Community by providing implementation of NTFS Read-Write
driver for the Linux Kernel.

This is fully functional NTFS Read-Write driver. Current version works with
NTFS(including v3.1) and normal/compressed/sparse files and supports journal replaying.

We plan to support this version after the codebase once merged, and add new
features and fix bugs. For example, full journaling support over JBD will be
added in later updates.
I'm not expert but I have try to review this series best I can and have
not found any major mistakes which prevents merging. Yeah there are
couple bugs but because this is not going to replace NTFS driver just
yet then IMO it is best that merge will happend sooner so development
fot others get easier. I will also try to review future patches (from
Paragon and others), test patches and make contribution at my own for this
driver. So please use
