Subject: [PATCH V4] lib: introduce generic list_sort()
Hi Linus,
Is is possible to get this patch into a .33-rcX release so we
don't have to weird cross-tree modifications in the lead up to
.34? It doesn't change any functionality, just moves code around....
Cheers,
Dave.

lib: Introduce generic list_sort function
There are two copies of list_sort() in the tree already, one in the DRM code,
another in ubifs. Now XFS needs this as well. Create a generic list_sort()
function from the ubifs version and convert existing users to it so we
don't end up with yet another copy in the tree.
