Subject: writev corruption and 64-bit quota patches for 2.6.33-rc1?

Hi Ted,
do you plan on merging my fixes for writev filesystem corruption and
64-bit quota patches? The writev patch is independent of any other patch
and should go in ASAP, 64-bit quota patch depends on generic quota code
change so either I can merge it or you can merge a bit later (it's a small
change for ext4).
The patches were sent as:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-ext4&m=125978147226649&w=3
(writev corruption fix - it has a minor whitespace bug so I'm attaching a
version with that bug fixed)
http://marc.info/?l=linux-ext4&m=125978717902673&w=3
(64-bit quota support)
Honza

Subject: [PATCH 2/3] ext4: Fix data / filesystem corruption when write fails to copy data
When ext4_write_begin fails after allocating some blocks or
generic_perform_write fails to copy data to write, we truncate blocks already
instantiated beyond i_size. Although these blocks were never inside i_size, we
have to truncate pagecache of these blocks so that corresponding buffers get
unmapped. Otherwise subsequent __block_prepare_write (called because we are
retrying the write) will find the buffers mapped, not call ->get_block, and
thus the page will be backed by already freed blocks leading to filesystem and
data corruption.
