Note: this patch doesn't compile on its own, since it uses s_li_wait before it is defined (in the next patch). This is a problem if someone tries to do a "git bisect" and lands between these two patches. I'll probably fix this just by merging these two patches together... - Ted -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
