A few things will be help back to the following merge window in order to ensure a greater test time, but those currently in the tree are ready for the current window. Recently I've reconstituted the GFS2 git tree, so it can be pulled (via http) from: http://sucs.org/~rohan/git/gfs2-3.0-nmw and viewed via gitweb at: http://sucs.org/gitweb/ This is thanks to the Swansea University Computer Society for providing a temporary (or possibly permanent) home for the GFS2 git trees. Please treat their server kindly as this will only continue while it doesn't generate too much traffic. I figure that there will not be too many people pulling the GFS2 tree at once, but we'll see. Some highlights of the current patch set: o Reduction in code of approx 400 lines o Big clean up (and speed up) in the resource group code - This is a nice base to build some forthcoming improvements on - It should improve performance with multi-threaded workloads o Some left-over fsync/writeback changes o Improvements to readahead when deallocating large directories Any questions/concerns then please let me know as usual, Steve.
