It looks like we once again got no writeback fixes merged for $NEXT, even with Wu having a very nice, well reviewed and tested series of fairly trivial patches. I'm getting really frustrated about this. We need a lot of work to make writeback not suck with todays hardware and workloads, nevermind tomorrows, and we're getting stalled for completely untransparent reasons. Basically people doing the work move ahead, then it gets stuck in -mm which doesn't even get into linux-next and gets completely stalled there. So my vote is to have a proper peer-reviewed writeback git tree, handled like all the other git trees we have, that is maintained e.g. by Wu and make progress with that. After fixing all those basic issues we have other big items like I/O-less balance_dirty_pages and the memcg integration on our plate, and with the current rate of progress we won't get there before Linux 4.0. -- 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
