Andrew located at least one bug: we run cancel_dirty_page() too late in "truncate_complete_page()", which means that do_invalidatepage() ends up not clearing the page cache. His patch is appended.
Thanks. I'll try this out later today.
But it sounds like I probably misunderstood something, because I thought that Martin had acknowledged that this patch actually worked for him. Which sounded very similar to your setup (he has a 32M ARM box too, no?)
Yup, we have the same machines (Linksys NSLU2) and are running the same test case (installing Debian). However, I'm not sure what kernel version he had used for his latest test. I presumed 2.6.20-git, whereas I had used 2.6.19.
Maybe it's mount option issue? I've got data=ordered on my machine, are you perhaps runnign with something else?
We are also using ordered. /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 /target ext3 rw,data=ordered 0 0 Gordon -- Gordon Farquharson - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
