Apart from performance and the SMP race, there should be no behavioural change in this set of patches, except for one item: the EXT3_IOC_GETRSVSZ and EXT3_IOC_SETRSVSZ ioctl numbers are currently using a non-standard character in their names, 'r' instead of 'f' (the latter is used for all existing ext2/3 ioctls), so I thought it would be best to rename that sooner rather than later if we're going to do it at all. These changes have been in rawhide for a couple of weeks, and have been undergoing testing both within Red Hat and at IBM. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
