new v3 2.6.4 logging/xattr patches

[Chris Mason]

Hello everyone,

I've just uploaded all the reiserfs patches from the suse 2.6 kernel to:

ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mason/patches/data-logging/experimental/2.6.4

(they should also apply to 2.6.5-rc1 and 2.6.5-rc1-mm2)

These include:
Latency fixes
Logging performance fixes
data=ordered support
quota support
xattrs and acls from Jeff Mahoney

and a few random bug fixes.  There's a README file in the directory with
a some more details.

The names of the files no longer start with numbers to help you figure
out the order the patches get applied.  The directory includes a file
called series that has a list of all the patches in the proper order.

There are various shell tricks to apply things in order.  Or a few
different patch management tools that understand a series file.  I use
quilt (http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/quilt/) which is very nice.

They are ready for Andrew for additional testing, I'd like to submit the
whole bunch to him actually.  Any objections?

Since 2.6.5-rc1-mm2 includes some of these patches, I've put a series.mm
file in the ftp directory to tell you which ones are needed when you
want to apply to Andrew's tree.

I object to the xattr patch.  Is the write cache related work in this 
anywhere?

The barrier patch depends on the entire set.

Lets talk about the xattr patch first.  Please outline the technical
reasons why you believe the patch is unfit for submission so that Jeff
and I can fix them.

It might be easier for us to discuss things over the phone, I can give
you a call.

The patches are looking good so far.

Especially the latency has improved. I only can make xmms stutter when
using bonnie+ plus some other io intense task.

ACL's seem to work fine, too.

There's a new patch there, reiserfs-ordered-lat.  It has two latency
fixes from Takashi Iwai, that also improve data=ordered throughput in
some cases.

If you want to apply to -mm or to 2.6.5-rc2, use the series.mm for the
list of patches.

What do I need on-top of SuSE 2.6.4-0? ;-)

The suse kernel of the day ;-)  My experimental directory is a dump of
all the suse reiserfs patches.

Works out of the box.
Only Bootsplash is missing.

Now reiserfsprogs-3.6.14 (15) needed ;-)

Argh, "K3b" isn't working, again.
