Bug#394392: Alternative msync() fix for 2.6.18?
Hi Hugh and Peter,
We in Debian have applied your "mm: msync() cleanup" patch (plus the
other mm changes needed for this one) to our 2.6.18 kernel because
it's needed for LSB 3.1 compliance. Given that apparently no fix for
the induced filesystem corruption is coming forth and we're trying to
get a release of Debian out, I was wondering if it would be possible
to create an alternative msync() fix that doesn't really on those mm
changes. Since 2.6.17 and 2.6.18 are currently not LSB 3.1 compliant,
I think this might also be something for the -stable branch.
Do you think this is possible and do you have any interest in creating
such a patch? This would really help us a lot.
