Mostly correct. The 2.2.6 patch fails against linux/include/linux/fs.h
The following code, which is the failing piece, needs to be added to fs.h
static inline int buffer_lowprio(struct buffer_head * bh)
{
return test_bit(BH_LowPrio, &bh->b_state);
}
I don't know about AC patches, I no longer apply them.
