Hi,
I'm not 100% sure, but I think this one could go to 3.0.x as well, am I right?
If it's so, could I try to provide backport? (it't doesn't apply cleanly).
If you want to try a backport go right ahead. There is an indirect dependency
on [2bcf8879: mm: take pagevecs off reclaim stack] which is not suitable
for backporting to -stable but handling that should be easy.
Mel, would You care to review then? Or do You plan to send Your own backport?
I had not planned my own backport because the type of bug made it a low
priority for me (copying NTFS with small block size on 32 bit X86 with 16G
of RAM). If you backport it, I'll review the result. I will be at LSF/MM next
week so I might be a bit slow to respond but I'll get around to it. Thanks.
