[patch 5/27] Remove ext3's buffer_head cache

From: Andrew Morton (akpm@zip.com.au)
Date: Thu Jul 04 2002 - 18:53:59 EST


Removes ext3's open-coded inode and allocation bitmap LRUs.

This patch includes a cleanup to ext3_new_block(). The local variables
`bh', `bh2', `i', `j', `k' and `tmp' have been renamed to something
more palatable.
