Ted-san,
Thanks for your applying.

Okajima-san,

I've added your patches to the ext4 patch queue for testing.  I did
make some changes to the commit descriptions for clarity's sake

-------------------------
vfs: add releasepages hooks to block devices which can be used by file systems
<SNIP>
-------------------------
ext3: provide function to release journal heads under memory pressure
<SNIP>
-------------------------
ext4: implement release_metadata to release private data under memory pressure
<SNIP>
----------------------

Also, in the 2nd and 3rd patches, I made change to the comment
describing ext[34]_release_metadata.  It now reads:

/*
 * Try to release metadata pages (indirect blocks, directories) which are
 * mapped via the block device.  Since these pages could have journal heads
 * which would prevent try_to_free_buffers() from freeing them, we must use
 * jbd[2] layer's try_to_free_buffers() function to release them.
 */

I hope you agree these changes are more descriptive of what is going
on in the patch.
OK!

I agree to your all appropriate changes.

(I am looking forward to merging them to mainstream kernel early. :-))

Best regards,
Toshiyuki Okajima
