Hi Al, Christoph, unless you have objections against the whole idea, I wonder if it would be possible to make the patches which wrap sb->s_dirt usage go via VFS tree first, and then I'd continue the timer optimization work separately. IMO, wrapping s_dirt makes sense in general. I mean, patches 01-17 from this series. -- Best Regards, Artem Bityutskiy (Артём Битюцкий)
