ext3 0.9.12 for 2.4.10-ac11
...in Linus' kernel - it is a generic bugfix which
prevents leakage of stale disk data in rare circumstances.
lo_send() has also been changed so that it too calls commit_write()
if prepare_write() succeeded.
The net result is that all prepare_write()/commit_write() calls
are now balanced, so the abort_write() a_op (which was introduced
to cope with the perpare-but-no-commit error case) has been
removed.
This is an internal kernel API change! All callers of prepare_write()
must now call commit_write() if the prepare_write() succeeded.

ext3-2.4-0.9.10
...ate patch to make ext3 suitable for
submission for the mainstream kernel.
Changelog:
- Fix an oops which could occur at unmount time due to non-empty
orphan list. This could be triggered by an earlier error during a
truncate.
- Merge Ted's directory scan speedup heuristic.
- Remove the abort_write() address_space_operation by ensuring that
all prepare_write() callers always call commit_write().
- A number of changes to suit the new 2.4.10 VM and buffer-layer design.
