For 2.4, I expect any changes are so small that diffs-to-marcelo works OK. For 2.5 there will be quite a lot of catching-up to do in ext3. data=journal is rather broken at present. I'm testing out your buffer-stealing fix in 2.5 and it has fixed a few problems, but not all. What I'll probably do there is to just convert data=journal into data=ordered at mount time, until things settle down and we have decided how page-oriented ext3 will become in 2.5.
