http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12579 ------- Comment #11 from sandeen@xxxxxxxxxx 2009-02-13 19:52 ------- Ted, all good questions. :) If you think we need to digest this a bit that's fine, though I'd rather this go in than not at all, before 2.6.29 gets out the door. But I think we still have some time. The problem has not been seen on 2.6.28 kernels; I can't right now point for sure to one of Nick's patch series that changed the behavior; in fact many points in the series seemed to not work at all; even building kernels on other filesystems got me hung up. Didn't inspire tons of confidence. :) You're probably right though, and echoing my concern in the previous comment, that we might need to look at this holistically and decide if this exact change to ext4 is the right path or if the page-writeback infrastructure needs a tweak... -Eric -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. -- 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
