The series has somewhat grown since last time. I have quite a bit more patches in my tree (e.g. removing the need for page pointers from ext4_ioend_t so the structure shrunk a lot, moving of PageWriteback completion after extent conversion, ...) but they need more work and I'm not sure they will be ready for the next merge window. But I hope everything in this series should be simple enough so that it can go in. The series contains two fixes: [PATCH 02/12] ext4: Use redirty_page_for_writepage() in ext4_bio_write_page() and [PATCH 11/12] ext4: Make ext4_bio_writepage() handle unprepared buffers [PATCH 12/12] ext4: Fix ext4_writepage() to achieve data=ordered guarantees The rest are simplifications and cleanups. In total the series removes ~250 LOC. Honza
