XFS and Alan kernel tree

XFS and Alan kernel tree

[Daniel Podlejski]

I merge XFS witch Alan tree (2.4.4-ac5). It's seems to be stable.
Patch against Alan tree is avaliable at:

http://www.underley.eu.org/linux/patch.ac-xfs.diff.bz2

It's 1.0 SGI release. Only XFS, pagebuf and POSIX ACLs code, without KDB.

linux-xfs added to cc: list.  Could you try adding
ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/kdb/download/ix86/kdb-v1.8-2.4.4-ac5.gz
to your patch?

Hi Daniel,
I've got a KDB patch against a relatively recent 2.4.5-ac6, but are you
still continuing your porting effort to the -ac series?
Thanks,

kdb v1.8-2.4.5-ac6 works for -ac6 through -ac13.  None of the changes
in that series affect kdb.

There have been some significant changes to page I/O handling in
2.4.6-pre[12] which are reflected in the XFS CVS tree.  -ac13 is still
using the old page_launder() code which is not as clean.  In addition
kdb for Linus's and AC's trees has diverged quite a bit because of the
console and NMI cleanup in -ac.  Fitting XFS from CVS into -ac13 will
be very nasty, you might want to wait until AC syncs to Linus's kernel
or Linus takes some of the -ac changes.

Hmm, I've got Rik's page_launder patch which was posted to lkml a couple of
days ago, and hand-hacked that into ac. I got the CVS tree and manually
hacked out 2.4.6-pre2, but with 22 different files with rejects when I tried
to put -ac in, I just gave up.

Sounds like my experience with it. I can do 5 to maybe even ten rejects
if they're no-thinkos, but this was a buttload of whammies.
