+linus.patch

 Linus's current diff.

-filemap-fixes.patch

 Merged

+unbreak-writeback-mode.patch

 ext3 in data=writeback mode was oopsing on writeback of MAP_SHARED
 data.

+read-latency.patch

 Fix the writer-starves-reader elevator problem. This is basically
 the read_latency2 patch from -ac kernels.

 On IDE it provides a 100x improvement in read throughput when there
 is heavy writeback happening. 40x on SCSI. You need to disable
 tagged command queueing on scsi - it appears to be quite stupidly
 implemented.
