I got precious little review of the original XArray work, which made Andrew nervous and delayed its integration. Now I'm getting little review of the followup patches to lay the groundwork for filesystems to support larger page sizes. I have very little patience for this situation.
I'll be happy to dive in and look at the changes from an mm point of view, but I don't feel qualified to comment on all the file system considerations. Perhaps if someone from the fs side would volunteer; I know well how frustrating it can be to be trapped in code review suspended animation.
