Can the commit message also describe more about the problem: how bad it is, the root cause, and why it's so hard to fix properly?

I guess it's self explanatory in the name but docs are easy & good. -Eric -- 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
