Subject: Re: [PATCH -V2 2/4] ext4: Add generic writepage callback

I've applied this to the ext4 patch queue with the following changelog
comment.

From: "Aneesh Kumar K.V" <aneesh.kumar@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

ext4: Fix mmap/truncate race when blocksize < pagesize && !nodellaoc

This patch fixes the mmap/truncate race that was fixed for delayed
allocation by merging ext4_{journalled,normal,da}_writepage() into
ext4_writepage().

Acked-by: Jan Kara <jack@...e.cz>
Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@....edu>

I also had to apply the following fix so that the patch would compile:
