Hi, I rebased the work on top of -next and I applied a Jan's comment about __sb_start_write. I did some basic tests and they are ok. Open points: - without change mnt_want_write several paths are still blocking paths; - page_mkwrite still call blocking variant of __sb_start_write. Any comments are welcome. Regards.
