URL: http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/2.5/2.5.33/2.5.33-mm3/

+filemap-integration.patch

Cleanup and code consolidation for readv and writev: generic_file_read()
and generic_file_write() take an iovec, and tons of code goes away.

A work in progress.

+direct-io-alignment.patch

Allow finer-than-fs-blocksize alignment for O_DIRECT.

A work in progress, which has a bit of a correctness problem, actually.

+mmap-fixes.patch

Some cleanups and fixes from Christoph.


Also quite a lot of fiddling with the new non-blocking page reclaim
code. This works well.

Just compiled 2.5.33 with mm3 patch:

if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map 2.5.33; fi
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.5.33/kernel/fs/ext2/ext2.o
depmod: generic_file_writev
