I'm working on improvements to the local filesystem caching code and the network filesystem support library and that involves a lot of dealing with pages - all of which will need to be converted to the folios stuff. This has the potential to conflict with the changes Willy's patches make to filesystems. Further, the folios patchset offers some facilities that make my changes a bit easier - and some changes that make things a bit more challenging (e.g. page size becoming variable). Also, is it possible to get the folios patchset in a stable public git branch that I can base my patches upon? Thanks, David
