I'll plan on merging the following patches into Linus's tree this week: jbd-add-lock-annotation-to-jbd_sync_bh.patch ext3-and-jbd-cleanup-remove-whitespace.patch jbd-use-build_bug_on-in-journal-init.patch fix-ext3-mounts-at-16t.patch fix-ext3-mounts-at-16t-fix.patch fix-ext2-mounts-at-16t.patch fix-ext2-mounts-at-16t-fix.patch ext3-inode-numbers-are-unsigned-long.patch ext3-inode-numbers-are-unsigned-long-fix.patch jbd-16t-fixes.patch ext3-turn-on-reservation-dump-on-block-allocation-errors.patch ext3-add-more-comments-in-block-allocation-reservation-code.patch ext3-wrong-error-behavior.patch ext3-more-whitespace-cleanups.patch ext3-fix-sparse-warnings.patch more-ext3-16t-overflow-fixes.patch more-ext3-16t-overflow-fixes-fix.patch fs-conversions-from-kmallocmemset-to-kzcalloc.patch fs-removing-useless-casts.patch really-ignore-kmem_cache_destroy-return-value.patch Once that's done, the remaining patches touch on ext3: git-block.patch inode-diet-eliminate-i_blksize-and-use-a-per-superblock-default.patch vectorize-aio_read-aio_write-fileop-methods.patch remove-readv-writev-methods-and-use-aio_read-aio_write.patch fs-cache-provide-a-filesystem-specific-syncable-page-bit.patch r-o-bind-mount-unlink-monitor-i_nlink.patch r-o-bind-mount-prepwork-inc_nlink-helper.patch r-o-bind-mount-monitor-zeroing-of-i_nlink.patch These are harder. Jens needs to get a wiggle on with merging the block tree (please). The inode-diet stuff I guess I'll merge next week. It'll need a splitup because it has gfs2 bits in it, and boy it has needed a lot of fixups... The AIO vectorisation work can maybe be merged next week, but I need to check whether doing do will complicate the needed fixups and speedups in the core writev() code. I don't know if we'll be merging the fs-cache code this time around - it's largely in Trond and Christoph's hands. I think the r-o-bind-mount stuff is ready to go, but it's simply banked up behind a _lot_ of other stuff (including various subsystem trees) and it'll take some time. So I cannot guarantee that all this will be flushed by the time we do the ext4 copy-n-paste. Nor can I guarantee that I'll be sufficiently awake to spot (and handle) all patches which touch on ext3/jbd but which fail to update ext4.
