As I mentioned in the note above, only patches #4 and #7 were new and thus these needed to be reviewed. Other patches are _not_ replacements of any of the patches which are already part of -mm and/or in Ted's patch queue. They were posted again as just "placeholders" so that the two new patches (#4 & #7) could be reviewed. Sorry for any confusion. > Please drop the non-ext4 patches from the ext4 tree and send incremental > patches against the (non-ext4) fallocate patches in -mm. Please let us know what you think of Mingming's suggestion of posting all the fallocate patches including the ext4 ones as incremental ones against the -mm. -- Regards, Amit Arora
