+linus.patch

Linus's current diff.

-filemap-fixes.patch

Merged

+unbreak-writeback-mode.patch

ext3 in data=writeback mode was oopsing on writeback of MAP_SHARED
data.

+read-latency.patch

Fix the writer-starves-reader elevator problem. This is basically
the read_latency2 patch from -ac kernels.

On IDE it provides a 100x improvement in read throughput when there
is heavy writeback happening. 40x on SCSI. You need to disable
tagged command queueing on scsi - it appears to be quite stupidly
implemented.
