Subject: [PATCH] use list_add_tail in buffer_insert_list
Date: Mon, 25 Aug 2003 16:01:25 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030825140125.GA17194@lst.de> (raw)

This is a really old patch from the XFS tree.

We need to call list_add_tail in buffer_insert_list to preserve buffer
ordering.  This essential for a good extent layout with XFS's delayed
allocation and a while ago the reiserfs group requested the same change.

ACKed by sct.
