kernel oops on boot
Hi, I have the same problem on my thinkpad T30 since this week: The kernel boots very slowly until the message: * Loading kernel modules... there my kernel hangs there forever now.

[PATCH 1/7] ext2: Use ext2_clear_super_error() in ext2_sync_fs()

[PATCH 2/7] ext2: Set the write time in ext2_sync_fs()
This is probably a typo since the write time should actually be updated by ext2_sync_fs() instead of the mount time.

[PATCH 4/7] ext2: Fold ext2_commit_super() into ext2_sync_super()
Both function originally did similar things except that ext2_sync_super() is returning after the call to sync_dirty_buffer(sbh). Therefore this patch adds a wait flag to tell ext2_sync_super() if it has to call sync_dirty_buffer() to wait for in-progress I/O to finish.

[PATCH 5/7] ext2: Move ext2_write_super() out of ext2_setup_super()
Move ext2_write_super() out of ext2_setup_super() as a preparation for the next patch that adds a new lock for superblock fields.

[PATCH 3/7] ext2: Remove duplicate code from ext2_sync_fs()
Depending in the state (valid or unchecked) of the filesystem either ext2_sync_super() or ext2_commit_super() is called. If the filesystem is currently valid (it is checked), we first mark it unchecked and afterwards duplicate the work that ext2_sync_super() is doing later. Therefore this patch removes the duplicat... 14 Apr 2010 08:46

[PATCH 0/7] ext2: Preparation to remove BKL (v2)
This is a series of patches in preparation to the removal of the big kernel lock from ext2. It consists mostly of cleanup patches to later introduce a spinlock to protect some of the superblock's fields against concurrent access. With the spinlock in place we don't need to use the big kernel lock anymore. This se... 14 Apr 2010 08:46
