It's in the ext4 master branch so it's queued to be pushed during the next merge window, and then it would go into the 2.6.39.x stable series. So it didn't fall through the cracks; it was just a question of whether to push late in the rc series, or waiting until the merge window and then backporting to 2.6.39 stable. Basically I got the patch in -rc5, and at that point, given that the vast majority of the file systems are 4k blocksize on x86, and most Power and Itanic users are using distribution kernels (and that's a very small number anyway), I decided not to push it to Linus at that point. It's a judgement call; and I could have gone the other way; it was very much a 49/51 sort of decision. - 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
