Looking at you diffstat it seems that you only touched fs/* There are filesystems in other places, e.g. drivers/isdn/capi/capifs.c, arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spufs/inode.c or arch/s390/hypfs/inode.c I am really not an expert in filesystems, so my comment might be bogus: My expection was, that a simple pushdown should also affect these filesystems, especially if the filesystems dont use simple_fill_super, no? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
