ext4 patches for 2.6.37-rc1?

ext4 patches for 2.6.37-rc1?

[Sedat Dilek]

Hi,

I was wondering if Ted will send ext4 patches within the open
merge-window for 2.6.37-rc1.
If you plan to send to Linus, can you give a short overview what
endusers will expect?

BTW, in which of the GIT trees ([1], [2]) is the ext4 development
actually happening?

Kind Regards,

Yes, I am planning on sending patches to Linus.

It's a bit late because I've been crazy busy this past few weeks.

lazy inode table init, improved scalability for buffered writeback (3x
throughput improvement when writing large files in parallel on 48 and
192 threads on a 48-core machine), and a bunch of cleanups and bug
fixes.

Primary development happens in [2], and then it gets mirrored to [1]
periodically.

Hi Ted,

thanks for your explanations.

Just saw your GIT-pull request on LKML [1] and compiling now
linux-next (next-20101028) [2] which includes ext4.
Linus pulled to upstream, so 2.6.36-git11 will have the ext4-patches :-).

Thanks all for their work on ext4!

Kind Regards,
