Hi, these patches are against 2.6.21-rc6-mm1. Aside from OCFS2, there were no major clashes between -mm and mainline diffs, which is nice.
These patches aim to solve the long standing buffered write deadlocks, and then go on to introduce a pair of new write a_op methods which allow the deadlock to be solved without taking the performance hit of the backwards compatible solutions using the old APIs. Reiserfs (and Reiser4, in -mm) are the only filesystems left unconverted, although there are a number of less common ones still untested.
