I merged the first three patches into -mm, thanks. All the system call numbers got changed due to recent additions. They may change in the future, too - nothing is stable until the code lands in mainline. I didn't merge any of the ext4 changes as they appear to be in Ted's devel tree. Although I didn't check that they are 100% the same in that tree. What's the plan to get some ext4 updates into mainline, btw? Things seem to be rather gradual. - 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/
