Re: [PATCH 0/10] Fix page_mkwrite() for blocksize < pagesize (version 3)

From: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
Date: 2009-06-15 18:02:39
Also in: linux-fsdevel, lkml

patches below are an attempt to solve problems filesystems have with
page_mkwrite() when blocksize < pagesize (see the changelog of the second patch
for details).

Could someone please review them so that they can get merged - especially the
generic VFS/MM part? It fixes observed problems (WARN_ON triggers) for ext4 and
makes ext2/ext3 behave more nicely (mmapped write getting page fault instead
of silently discarding data).

The series is against Linus's tree from today. The differences against previous
version are one bugfix in ext3 delalloc implementation... Please test and review.
Thanks.
  Sorry for the wrong patch numbering [x/11]. There are really just 10
patches in the series. The eleventh one is just a debugging patch I
don't want to merge.
