Hi Roy -
As Steve said on another thread, look at the 2.4.9 RPMS in the testing/
directory on the xfs ftp site. They have both XFS and Tux in them (and
a ton of other things, as well...)
The issues I ran into on the merge had to do with fine-grained pagecache
locking, i.e. lots of things like:
- spin_lock(&pagecache_lock);
+ spin_lock(__PAGECACHE_LOCK(mapping, index));
We use a couple of these spin_locks new functions in mm/filemap.c, so
they'll need to be converted as well - the tux patch won't catch these.
