Subject: [GIT PULL] Fixes for FS-Cache/CacheFiles
Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2014 16:13:13 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <27834.1410966793@warthog.procyon.org.uk> (raw)

Hi Linus,

Could you pull these fixes for FS-Cache and Cachefiles:

 (1) Put a timeout in releasepage() to deal with a recursive hang between the
     memory allocator, writeback, ext4 and fscache under memory pressure.

 (2) Fix a pair of refcount bugs in the fscache error handling.

 (3) Remove a couple of unused pagevecs.  This could be punted to -next if
     you'd rather.

Thanks,
David
