For the 6.12 merge window, I intend to submit a patch series loosely similar to the one you can find at http://git.infradead.org/?p=users/willy/pagecache.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/write-end (aka git://git.infradead.org/users/willy/pagecache.git write-end) This is split into a few pieces: - Directory handling conversion for ufs, sysv, minix & qnx6, all posted recently. - Various prep patches in reiserfs, jffs2, block fops, nilfs2, ntfs3, ecryptfs, f2fs, fuse, orangefs and vboxsf - The big bang conversion that is now appropriately trivial in each affected filesystem. It would be nice to get sign-offs from the various fs maintainers on the prep patches. I'll send those out in the next 24 hours. If you want to take them through your tree, I ask that you do that for 6.11 so we're not juggling git trees trying to resolve conflicts in 6.12. I don't think we need signoffs from the various fs maintainers for the big bang patch as the individual changes are so trivial. But if you want to give it a look-over, the more eyes the better.
