My first set of patches that I pushed to you were designed to fix
things for data=ordered, and did result in improvements for 2.6.29
versus 2.6.29+ext3-latency-fixes in the data=ordered case. (It was
only in the last day or two that I switched to focusing on improving
things for data=writeback mode.)
I haven't benchmarked 2.6.29 versus 2.6.29 plus *all* of the recent
latency fixes with data=ordered, but I would expect that timings are
the same or better.
