Works great. :) We might want to ask > the other reporter of something similar (next-20090206: deadlock on > ext4) to test it too. I'll ping him. Do we completely understand the root cause, in terms of which commit broken the mm/page-writeback.c code we were depending on? And if so, what of the code in mm/page-writeback.c? Does anyone else use it? Can anyone sanely use it? And am I right in assuming that this only applies to 2.6.29-rcX kernels, and is not needed for 2.6.28 or earlier kernels? I hadn't yet pushed it out because I needed time to understand all of these issues, hence these questions.... - Ted -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
