An administrator who trusts that the cache is sufficiently battery- backed (and power supplies are sufficiently redundant, etc...) can always turn it back off again. SuSE has carried such a patch for ext3 for quite some time now. Also document the mount option while we're at it.

| * | | doc: document the kernel-doc conventions for kernel hackersPaul Jackson2008-06-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Provide documentation of the kernel-doc documentation conventions oriented to kernel hackers. Since I figure that there will be more people reading this kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt file who are kernel developers focused on the rest of the kernel, than there will be readers of this file who are documentation developers extracting that embedded kernel-doc documentation, I have taken the liberty of making the new section added here: How to format kernel-doc comments the first section of the kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt file. This first section is intended to introduce, motivate and provide basic usage of the kernel-doc mechanism for kernel hackers developing other portions of the kernel.

| * | fuse: fix bdi naming conflictMiklos Szeredi2008-05-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fuse allocates a separate bdi for each filesystem, and registers them in sysfs with "MAJOR:MINOR" of sb->s_dev (st_dev). This works fine for anon devices normally used by fuse, but can conflict with an already registered BDI for "fuseblk" filesystems, where sb->s_dev represents a real block device. In particularl this happens if a non-partitioned device is being mounted. Fix by registering with a different name for "fuseblk" filesystems. Thanks to Ioan Ionita for the bug report.
