The patch fixes the problem by asking for underlaying block device the number of pages to send with each BIO. 41b93bc logfs: maintain the ordering of meta-inode destruction LogFS maintains file system meta-data in special inodes. These inodes are releated to each other, therefore they must be destroyed in a proper order. ddb24bb logfs: create a pagecache page if it is not present cd8bfa9 logfs: initialize the number of iovecs in bio LogFS used to panic when it was created on an encrypted LVM volume. The patch fixes the problem by properly initializing the BIO. d2dcd90 logfs: destroy the reserved inodes while unmounting Sorry for multiple mails and inconvenience it might have caused.
