In August the Linux 2.6.31 kernel has still been in the release candidate
stage, but a couple of important XFS fixes made it in time for the release,
including a fix for the inode cache races with NFS workloads that have
plagued us for a long time.
The list saw various patches destined for the Linux 2.6.32 merge window,
including a merge of the fsync and O_SYNC handling code to address various
issues with the latter, a workaround for deficits in the timestamp handling
interface between the VFS and filesystems, a repost of the sync improvements
patch series and various smaller patches.
August also saw the minor 3.0.3 release of xfsprogs which collects smaller
fixes to the various tools and most importantly a fix to allow xfsprogs to
work again on SPARC and other strict alignment handling which regressed a
few releases ago. The xfstests repository saw a few new test cases and a
various small improvements.
