I like the performance improvement of your patch, but I'm concerned that it might be a bit too complicated to push outside of the merge window. So what I propose doing is this. We'll take Jan's patches and after testing, we'll push it to Linus. Then for the the 3.17 merge window, after we've had more opportunity for testing and for other folks to review your changes, we can queue this patch (or its successor). Does that seem like a good path forward? - 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
