Lachlan also saw some regressions after merging these patchsets :
. replace the mount inode list with radix tree traversals
. clean up sync code

The agreed plan for 2.6.28 still has the following patchsets to go in:

. Combine the XFS and Linux inode structures V2
. Track reclaimable inodes in inode cache
. AIL cleanup and bug fixes
. Account for allocated blocks when expanding directories
. Check for valid transaction headers in recovery
. fix remount rw with unrecognized options

It's starting to look like a pretty aggressive merge and QA schedule.
Dave, is it worth doing any testing until these are *all* merged?

Thanks
