Fix the problem by using new VFS infrastructure. > > Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx> One warning --- this patch will have a slight patch conflict with the patch ext4-convert-markers-to-tracepoints in the ext4 patch queue. The ext4-convert-markers-to-tracepoints patch is also in the unstable part of the patch queue, since it is waiting for patches allowing tracepoints to be used in modules to be merged into mainline at the next merge window. It's a very minor, easy fix-up, but depending who which patch series gets merged first, there might be a minor fixup required. - 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
