Release Notes: There are no changes in this release; it's just a patch for a newer kernel.

Release Notes: Removal of much debug code, minimized core kernel changes, moving /proc/sys/fs/jbd-debug control up into jbd itself, and removal of i_truncate_sem in favour of leaving the orphaned pages on the inactive_dirty LRU rather than swapping them out.

Release Notes: A fix for an oops which could occur at unmount time due to non-empty orphan list, merging in a directory scan speedup heuristic, removal of the abort_write() address_space_operation() by ensuring that all prepare_write() callers always call commit_write(), and a number of changes to suit the new 2.4.10 VM and buffer-layer design.

Release Notes: The buffer-already-revoked assertion failure was fixed by looking up an aliased buffercache buffer and clearing the revoke bits in there, as well as in the journalled data buffer. The page truncation code was reorganized so that the address of block_flushpage() is not taken. This is to simplify merging with Andrea's O_DIRECT patch, which turns block_flushpage() into a macro.

Release Notes: This release includes fixes for building with CONFIG_JBD=n, fixes and speed-ups to log_do_checkpoint, additional benefits for journalled data mode, and commenting out of the unused journal_release-buffer().
