Actually ext3 sometimes breaks, but it does in unpatched kernels anyway. At 15 patches (including the initial buffered write deadlock fixes), it is too much to keep posting -- not much has fundamentally changed, so I'll just post occasionally if we make big changes. The quilt format is probably easier for someone wishing to work on it anyway. http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/npiggin/patches/new-aops/ (excludes the OCFS2 patch that Mark sent, in anticipation of an update) It would be really nice if filesystem developers could take a look at the new interfaces some time, because otherwise they might get stuck with it :) So I'm cc'ing a few filesystems that come to mind, that I haven't heard anything from. Thanks, Nick From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Nick Piggin Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2007 17:17:04 +0100 Subject: [Cluster-devel] Announce: new-aops-1 for 2.6.21-rc3 Message-ID: <20070315161704.GH8321@wotan.suse.de> List-Id: To: cluster-devel.redhat.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Message-ID: <20070315161704.eVufpvkszT00KGjoEdNpzAibJWUUbldzEI1dA7O--sk@z> OK, I've gone through and fixed several bugs until the thing actually survives fsx-linux for both ext2 and ext3 ordered and writeback (both when using the new aops, and the legacy prepare_write path).
