Mostly they are bug fixes and clean ups, but there are one or two other changes, the highlights being: [26/54] Changes "writeback" mounts to not require buffer heads in writepages and also results in fewer I/Os. [29/54] This is probably the most notable since it effectively shrinks the amount of memory per struct gfs2_inode by half. [27/54] Removes the attempt at directory readahead in readdir and results in a substantial speed improvement for readdir without noticably slowing readdir+stat performance. Steve.
