[Patch] ext3_journal_stop inode access
Hi Andrew, The patch below addresses the problem we were talking about earlier where ext3_writepage ends up accessing the inode after the page lock has been dropped (and hence at a point where it is possible for the inode to have been reclaimed.) Tested minimally (it builds and boots.) It makes ext3_journal_stop take an sb, not an inode, as its final parameter. It also sets sb->s_need_sync_fs, not sb->s_dirt, as setting s_dirt was only ever a workaround for the lack of a proper sync-fs mechanism. Btw, we clear s_need_sync_fs in sync_filesystems(). Don't we also need to do the same in fsync_sup...

Ext3 and LFS - possible? fatal?
Has anyone tried LFS (ie >2G files support) and Ext3 together? Are there good reasons why this should/should not work? I see the RH enterprise kernel patch set specifically does not attempt both lfs and ext3, but the lfs patches themselves touch some reasonably localised parts of ext2, so I would hope (without having dived in there to test), that the ext3 changes would mirror that

Extended Attributes and Access Control Lists
Hello, I have today released an initial version of extended attributes and access control lists for ext3 (patch against the 2.4.13-ac3 kernel). Eric Jarman <ejarman@acm.org> has contributed a lot to this effort. Since I'm not very much into the innards of ext3, can some of you please take a look at the patch, and see whether it contains any flaws (and tell me which flaws)? Thanks! The

[PATCH 0/9] remove i_alloc_sem V2
i_alloc_sem has always been a bit of an odd "lock". It''s the only remaining rw_semaphore that can be released by a different thread than the one that locked it, and it''s use case in the core direct I/O code is more like a counter given that the writers already have external serialization. This series removes it in favour of a simpler counter scheme, thus getting rid
