Greetings,

Since 2.2.6 had some networking problems that played havoc with a new
server I'm trying to put up I decided to try to put 2.2.7 on it.  The
4/21 RAID patches are almost clean--some offsets, and only one
rejection.  That rejection concerns me, though.  For stock 2.2.7, in
linux/include/linux/fs.h, it looks like the comment on deprecation of
per-buffer reference flags has been removed completely, and the line

#define touch_buffer(bh) do { } while (0)

has been replaced with what used to be in the comment:

#define touch_buffer(bh) set_bit(PG_referenced, &buffer_page(bh)->flags)

Now the RAID patch already integrates the commented out change

#define buffer_page(bh)  (mem_map + MAP_NR((bh)->b_data))

so I'm not worried about that.  Does anyone know if the touch_buffer
macro conflicts with the operation of RAID?
