Hi Ted, is there any chance for this stuff to hit 3.6? Basically I have 3 pending file-systems: 1. ext4 (these patches) 2. sysv - trivial, I hope Andrew would pick them. 3. ufs - should be straight-forward to change the same way I changed hfs. I'll send patches soon. I hope Andrew would pick them as well. Everything else - either in upstream or in -mm or in sub-system trees. After this, I can kill sync_supers and have a chance that Linus would accept the patches at 3.6-rc1, and end up with sync_super-less 3.6. --=20 Best Regards, Artem Bityutskiy --=-fG1AhFxsLS9nIHkcvnJf Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAABAgAGBQJP/Y51AAoJECmIfjd9wqK00i0P/Riv9H4w/5mJHWksCxYkJvk5 p+JxXiF4NGdwqur++B0g2EFBnYsNg1Zg8GThUB0T+9z5Ooopb5tm+KFDcvUXFUBQ MqfOhbRRJ46Vc+7j02XSIm3L+oJWPVdfgWZOmYhfHZrUnxdSXe1LemoE8TAkDY5z 5C0wdmj6c1gJHxS5Z63bcAm51FAfZS67GdL+A7fmPiZSMZnm5w9UoaPhcqg5DWss c52H82vNW4/R+k3InkR8KccqvWbm7zipP4sE/wyo0EvGVsq0OEof3zzcMd8JDeS1 wCXQjBbQuejaP3UUk/Vr1iQa5hzIF+XFTAciZT0UAEqhJR5J5i+a44uUECHzAjHh behhtYJh7NUwt2WJZoMJTW7w/lVER1Rk+w4qeJmflSVOtLFG03FIfwGlnF4xIpy1 Bto6+KdEfwAkQ0HDa/Nf0jCUSIu/5tsGKlGsN05T9ESqzfB8SDW+q2WeHZQmSQ9G cvuSNx76D0deHCdd674hluADz5V8rlleJBK8ePVw9JdbHFJuKPkSLfqMHC+WS1ZH S4eQ9dE3D2LzAmcVxT1Tq+tYK5lIE0YSCID0E9RvdUd8Vdtv98NtShVqua045ans sJGp3WoiA9O0UCFbG/UD2IuLWP3JVw27DMsauWmKDwHb820YZf9oQnatjidNrRlc 0zVs84QRuCf0ET5YL+tY =//t4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-fG1AhFxsLS9nIHkcvnJf--
