Message-ID: <20090602010636.GB32688@mail.oracle.com> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: ocfs2-devel@oss.oracle.com Hey everyone, We're coming up on the next merge window, and I only have a couple tiny fixes for ocfs2. I thought I'd list up what I know is outstanding, and I was hoping to find out if I was missing anything. If I am, I need to get it in linux-next and set for the merge window ASAP. - metaecc-stats This is a trivial patch I put together to track errors seen by the blockcheck code. No one has reviewed it. Not a high priority, but I suspect that if it looks good to a reviewer, we can push it whenever we want. - cacheme These are the changes that separate out the metadata cache from the ocfs2_inode. All metadata I/O and caching is done against the cache rather than a specific inode. This is needed for the refcount tree code. The code was ready for the 2.6.30 merge window, but we aren't going to push it until refcount trees are ready. - refcount Support for refcount trees in the filesystem. The basic code is quite hashed out. Tao's done a great job, and Tristan is beating on it. We're now tracking down major bugs. It's not quite organized for mainline submission, and it really warrants some time in linux-next before we push it, so it won't be making the 2.6.31 merge window. I'm expecting 2.6.32 though. - reflink The generic reflink system call patch seems to have evolved as needed. I'm ready to push it upstream, but I don't think it goes without some consumer. That is, I push it with the refcount tree code. I'm open to dissenters, though, and I'm going to be asking VFS people about it. That's what I have. What'd I miss?
