This patch series is a follow up to the series that was posted on Jan 8th. Following the discussion with Christoph and Al, I've rebased the patch series on top of Al's 'write_inode' branch (see http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs-2.6.git;a=summary). The main changes compared to the previous iteration of these patches are as follows: - Rewrite to take advantage of Christoph's improvements to the s_op->write_inode() callback, and writeback_single_inode(). - Added a bunch of cleanups to simplify the NFS writeback code by using sync_inode() where possible. - Appended a tentative fix for the mmap() lockdep issue. If you would like to test it out, please feel free to pull the "performance-for-next" branch from git://git.linux-nfs.org/projects/trondmy/nfs-2.6.git I hope to start submitting this into the linux-next tree within a few days unless there are objections.
