These 2, are the only snapshot patches outside fs/ext4: [PATCH 1/2] jbd2: add the b_cow_tid field to journal_head struct [PATCH 2/2] jbd2: add the h_cowing flag and debug counters to jbd2_journal_handle struct Merging them soon will allow early ext4 snapshots testers to build a standalone module, without having to patch and build the kernel. These 2, are no-brainer error handling. Since they are not an integral part of the snapshot patches, I rather merge them sooner and not clutter the snapshot patches review with unrelated stuff. [PATCH 1/2] ext4: handle errors in ext4_rename [PATCH 2/2] ext4: handle errors in ext4_clear_blocks() This one is also a no-brainer cleanup, which will be required by snapshots. [PATCH] ext4: fix callers of ext4_handle_release_buffer() API Thanks, Amir.
