[PATCH 6/6] ubifs: Wait for page writeback to provide stable pages

[Darrick J. Wong]

When stable pages are required, we have to wait if the page is just
going to disk and we want to modify it. Add proper callback to
ubifs_vm_page_mkwrite().

A couple of these patches had this From:Jan strangely embedded in the
signoff area.  I have assumed that they were indeed authored by Jan.

Please note that authorship is indicated by putting the From: line
right at the start of the chagnelog.


I grabbed the patches.  They should appear in linux-next tomorrow if I
can get the current pooppile to build.

Well... these patches have been banging around in -next for a month or so now.
As far as I know there haven't been any complaints.  Can we push these for 3.9?

Yes, please I'm waiting for these patches as well. Lets push them this merge
window. I was sure they would get in at 3.8, but they didn't. What's the delay?

[Using this I can fix a theoretical raid corruption in exofs local access, which
 no one really cared because exofs is always accessed via pnfs, which does not
 have that bug]

Thanks

yup.  You can normally assume that this is the case, unless the patches have

a) been causing bugs or

b) been getting rude review comments or

c) been getting a great string of fix-fix-fix-fix patches in -mm or

d) acquired rude akpm comments or unresolved questions against them
   in http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/series

I was simply making sure that I hadn't missed anything. :)
