XFS contention fix backport (3.5 -> 3.2) feasible?
Hi,
[please CC me in replies, thanks]
Would it be possible to get the following fix backported to Debian
Wheezy's 3.2 kernel series?
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=807503
RHEL just included this in their 6.4 release and I think it's an
important patch, in particular for database servers that typically use
XFS and would benefit a lot. Without this fix DBAs might have to resort
to ext4 which they might not consider as a viable alternative otherwise.
FYI, the patchset was originally integrated in 3.5.
Thanks,
Oliver
