New stuff: patches from Mark and Steve for the cluster filesystems. (compile only) patches for NFS, XFS, FUSE, eCryptfs. OK, they're untested, but I have tried to put some effort in, so if maintainers would kindly take a look... ext3 still needs review and porting to ext4, which I hope someone will do eventually (I presume ext3 is still maintained)... does NFS have a lock_page vs lock_kernel deadlock in its commit_write? (if yes, this is fixable with the new write aops). I chose a various smattering of weird and wonderful filesystems to try converting, and so far I can't see major problems. A first cut at FAT and cont_prepare_write support. The FAT conversion is actually tested and seems to work quite well for various truncates and expands. Breaks reiserfs though, which might be a bit tricky to fix within the generic cont infrastructure. Nick
