Hi, Chris, Oleg and all others!

Are these patches ready for "broader testing" now? I would appreciate it 
as you mentioned the key words "performance" and "data=ordered" in one 
sentence ...  ;-))

Does the iget5_locked patch (Oleg?!) get updated or is it obsolete? It 
didn't apply fine to 2.4.21-pre6. So I skipped it for that kernel.

I didn't try kernels > 2.4.21-pre6 so far -- my simple question is: Are 
  the new patches in the queue or have they been forgotten over time? Or 
are there some compounds or merges in progress?!!


Many thanks for clarification,
best regards,
