Hi Andrew, Looks good for NTFS thanks! The only thing is that I think we already have a variable "unsigned long flags" in the function ntfs_end_buffer_async_read() so that could be used instead of redefining it more locally in the if statements. Could you send the patch to Linus? Feel free to add my Acked-by or Signed-off-by "Anton Altaparmakov <aia21@xxxxxxxxxx> line if you wish (I am not bothered either way)... Thanks a lot for fixing it!
