I'm not sure they will go to Stable when they are ready, because the patches are somewhat complex and so they may not apply cleanly to much older kernels. The patches under discussion (some have been applied, others hae been waiting for some requested changes) can be found here: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/377720 http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/377721 http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/377722 http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/377723 http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/377724 http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/377725 http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/377727 - 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
