I think I have most of them covered:
- log reace
- the endianess helpers patch I sent a note out about
- the mnt_want_write patches I've sent today
- just yesterday the creds preparation in mainline replaced some
XFS current_* macros with generic ones, I'll send a patch for these
once the changes in mainline have settled a little
The long term differences are:
- a different xfs_version.h - IMHO we should just kill this versioning
scheme completely..
- xfsidbg. Maybe now with kgdb in the kgdb folks get something
submitted and then this is taken care off..
- modular quota. IMHO we should just stop doing this in CVS, it
doesn't really buy us anything. If people are okay with that
I'll send a patch
- dmapi - well, this won't get merged and currently I don't see anyone
doing HSM for mainline properly. But I have some ideas how to make
it less intrusive at least
Other than that there are some difference dueto a different base kernel
version, which are temporary until the XFS tree is merged up to kernel
including those.
