Subject: [patch 0/8] write_cache_pages fixes
Date: Fri, 10 Oct 2008 02:50:39 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081009155039.139856823@suse.de> (raw)
OK, here is a submission for the bugs and small improvements I saw for
write_cache_pages. This does not include any work on the "livelock" issue
(which Mikulas and myself have different approaches to fix), but I think
these patches should go in first because they're fixing actual hard bugs
(and just a couple of minor improvements).
I've given it some testing, but there are so many combinations of behaviours
here, that I'd like some fsdevel people to look over it (eg. I didn't test
with an AOP_WRITEPAGE_TRUNCATE filesystem, or a range_cyclic one).
