Date: Wed, 15 Jan 2014 20:24:18 -0500 From: Matthew Wilcox <matthew.r.wilcox@...el.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, linux-fsdevel@...r.kernel.org, linux-mm@...ck.org, linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org Cc: Matthew Wilcox <matthew.r.wilcox@...el.com> Subject: [PATCH v5 00/22] Rewrite XIP code and add XIP support to ext4 This series of patches add support for XIP to ext4. Unfortunately, it turns out to be necessary to rewrite the existing XIP support code first due to races that are unfixable in the current design. Since v4 of this patchset, I've improved the documentation, fixed a couple of warnings that a newer version of gcc emitted, and fixed a bug where we would read/write the wrong address for I/Os that were not aligned to PAGE_SIZE. I've dropped the PMD fault patch from this set since there are some places where we would need to split a PMD page and there's no way to do that right now. In its place, I've added a patch which attempts to add support for unwritten extents. I'm still in two minds about this; on the one hand, it's clearly a win for reads and writes. On the other hand, it adds a lot of complexity, and it probably isn't a win for pagefaults. Patch 2 wants careful review from the MM people.
