Hi Chris. I think it is needed to call mark_inode_dirty() when file size expands in order to flush metadata updates to HDD through sync() syscall or background_writeout(). Thanks.

Hi all, this series removes most users of the write_one_page API. These helpers internally call ->writepage which we are gradually removing from the kernel. Changes since v2: - more minix error handling fixes Changes since v1: - drop the btrfs changes (queue up in the btrfs tree) - drop the finaly move to jfs (can't be done without the btrfs patches) - fix the existing minix code to

The patch titled Subject: ufs: don't flush page immediately for DIRSYNC directories has been added to the -mm mm-unstable branch. Its filename is ufs-dont-flush-page-immediately-for-dirsync-directories.patch This patch will shortly appear at

Hi all, this series removes most users of the write_one_page API. These helpers internally call ->writepage which we are gradually removing from the kernel. Changes since v3: - drop all patches merged in v6.3-rc1 - re-add the jfs patch Changes since v2: - more minix error handling fixes Changes since v1: - drop the btrfs changes (queue up in the btrfs tree) - drop the finaly move to

The fault code has been calling file_update_time after ->page_mkwrite after it drops the page lock, but this is annoying because this calls mark_inode_dirty which can fail in Btrfs, so we want to be able to do these updates in ->page_mkwrite so we can get an error back to the user. So get rid of the file_update_time calls in the fault code and push it into everybody who has a

Hi Linus, Here are some 2.6.20 fixes for ocfs2. The patch by Zhen Wei isn't really a fix, but a very small amount of support for a feature which is mostly implemented in ocfs2-tools. Considering it's just a single attribute export via configfs, I'd say it's pretty safe to merge. Please pull from 'upstream-linus' branch of

use i_size_read() instead of accessing inode->i_size directly.

The following series of patches attempts to detach metadata I/O from struct inode. They are currently tied together pretty tightly. Metadata reads happen via the ocfs2_read_blocks() functions, writes via both jbd2 and ocfs2_write_blocks(). - Each inode has a cache of associated metadata blocks stored on its ip_metadata_cache member. The ocfs2_read/write_blocks() functions take a struct

Hi, This is the second batch of Ocfs2 patches intended for the merge window. The 1st batch were sent out previously: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/12/19/280 The bulk of this set is comprised of Jan Kara's patches to add quota support to Ocfs2. Many of the quota patches are to generic code, which I carried to make merging of the Ocfs2 support easier. All of the non-ocfs2 patches should have
