From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: npiggin@suse.de Subject: [patch 0/8] write_cache_pages fixes Date: Fri, 10 Oct 2008 02:50:39 +1100 Message-ID: <20081009155039.139856823@suse.de> Cc: Mikulas Patocka , linux-mm@kvack.org, linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org To: Andrew Morton Return-path: Received: from ns1.suse.de ([195.135.220.2]:46828 "EHLO mx1.suse.de" rhost-flags-OK-OK-OK-OK) by vger.kernel.org with ESMTP id S1750997AbYJIH6m (ORCPT ); Thu, 9 Oct 2008 03:58:42 -0400 Sender: linux-fsdevel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: OK, here is a submission for the bugs and small improvements I saw for write_cache_pages. This does not include any work on the "livelock" issue (which Mikulas and myself have different approaches to fix), but I think these patches should go in first because they're fixing actual hard bugs (and just a couple of minor improvements). I've given it some testing, but there are so many combinations of behaviours here, that I'd like some fsdevel people to look over it (eg. I didn't test with an AOP_WRITEPAGE_TRUNCATE filesystem, or a range_cyclic one). --
