Basically, you should use the in-tree version without applying any additional patches because known bugfixes are included in the kernel 2.6.30 and the remaining patches are experimental. But, you can try the latest version available on the experimental branch or for-next branch in nilfs2.git: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ryusuke/nilfs2.git (As you can see in http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/ryusuke/nilfs2.git;a=shortlog;h=experimental the for-next branch is included in the experimental branch) If you already have a git clone of linus' tree, you can add those branches like: $ cd linux-2.6 $ git remote add nilfs2 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ryusuke/nilfs2.git $ git branch nilfs2-experimental nilfs2/experimental (or nilfs2/for-next) $ git checkout nilfs2-experimental Otherwise, you can get it directly by: $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ryusuke/nilfs2.git $ cd nilfs2 $ git checkout experimental And, you can create the single patch by: $ cd nilfs2 $ git diff master...experimental > ~/v2.6.30-nilfs2-experimental.diff Note that the for-next branch and the experimental branch are frequently "rebased" and this may confuse their existing branches.
