The fault-vs-invalidate race fix.  I have belatedly learned that these 
need
more work, so their state is uncertain.

The more work may turn out being too much for you (although it is nothing
exactly tricky that would introduce subtle bugs, it is a fair amont of 
churn).

OK, so does that mean we can finally get the block_page_mkwrite
patches merged?

i.e.:

I've got up-to-date versions of them ready to go and they've been
consistently tested thanks to the XFSQA test I wrote for the bug
that it fixes. I've been holding them out-of-tree for months now
because ->fault was supposed to supercede this interface.....

Cheers,

Dave.
