[patch] fs: restore nobh

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

This is overdue, sorry. Got a little complicated, and I've been away from
my filesystem test setup so I didn't want ot send it (lucky, coz I found
a bug after more substantial testing).

Anyway, RFC?

---
Implement nobh in new aops. This is a bit tricky.
FWIW, nobh_truncate is now implemented in a way that does not
create blocks in sparse regions, which is a silly thing for it
to have been doing (isn't it?)

ext2 survives fsx and fsstress. jfs is converted as well... ext3
should be easy to do (but not done yet).
