Andrew Morton: Linux 2.6.0-test6-mm2


ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.0-test6/2.6.0-test6-mm2/

. A large series of VFS patches from Al Viro which replace usage
of file->f_dentry->d_inode->i_mapping with the new
file->f_mapping.

This is mainly so we can get disk hot removal right.

. More work on the O_DIRECT-vs-buffered data coherency problem.
It’s still not quite there.

Changes since 2.6.0-test6-mm1:
