So the only reason why there are xfs, mm and tmpfs changes is that I am changing truncate_partial_page() and a small side effect is changed calling conventions. We can push patches 3, 4, 5 and 6 through the mm tree. But we'll have to make sure that it will land before ext4 changes since I am using the new truncate_partial_page() behaviour in ext4. Will that be possible ? Hugh ? -Lukas
