Al has been away for a bit, and I prepared the last VFS pull. I'll pick it up for now and either Al or I will send it on before next weekend. Can I get a tested-by tag from you for the patch? Can anyone else please cross check it? The new total value might be different from the old size value when we do a short write, but I can't see how an async write would be a good thing if we had to finish the remainder using buffered I/O if the old code really allowed that. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
