Changes since 0.0.8 include: - Multiplied the version numbering by ten to cater for bugfix releases against the 0.9.0 stream. - The main thrust has been the removal of a number of changes in the core kernel which were required for to support the journalling of data. This has caused some duplication of core code within ext3, but it's not too bad. - A number of cleanups and resyncs with latest ext2. (Thanks, Al). - Reorganised and optimised ext3_write_inode() and the handling of files which were opened O_SYNC. - Move quota operations outside lock_super() - fixes last known source of quota deadlocks in -ac kernels. - Deleted large chunks of debug/development support code. - Improved handling of corner-case errors. - Improved robustness in out-of-memory situations. The last change is probably the most significant - it prevents possible crashes and fs corruption under extreme workloads. - - 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/
