From: Matthew Wilcox <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> I haven't had time to boot these patches yet, much less split them apart into properly reviewable chunks. I just wanted to get the current state of my tree out before Dave & Jan wake up. The first patch you've seen before; it was patch 2/8 in the PUD patch series I posted on January 6th. It seemed like a good place to start since it unifies a lot of fault handling. The second patch is everything else we've talked about rolled into one. It looks pretty good to me; after I make sure that it boots and passes some smoke tests, I'll add the optimisation Jan & I discussed today about trying to reduce the times we have to take the allocation lock in exclusive/write mode. If I understand the current state of the code correctly, truncate can't race with the fault handler, so the re-checks we do of i_size are now dead code, which can be deleted. right?
