Subject: Ext4 tree backports for 2.6.27.19 and 2.6.28.7

Message-ID: <E1Lb5cA-00048L-Ln@closure.thunk.org>

I've updated the for-stable and for-stable-2.6.27 branches with the
latest ext4 bug fixes that were merged into mainline since 2.6.29-rc5.
The for-stable and for-stable-2.6.27 branches can be found in the ext4
git tree:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4.git
   http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4.git

The patches in these branches are attached below; I didn't port commit
2acf2c2 to 2.6.27 since it really requires commit 22208d (ext4: Fix
file fragmentation during large file write), which was judged too
invasive for a 2.6.27.y backport.

If folks can test out the for-stable and/or the for-stable-2.6.27
branches, I would appreciate it before I send these patches to
stable@kernel.org.
