You can find the patch and description of the changes at
http://kostikbel.narod.ru. Please, review.


Is it possible to effectively test this on a UP kernel? I don't have any
SMP capable machines available.

I think it shall be tested both on UP and SMP machines. So, yes,
UP testing (presumably, with PREEMPTION) is useful.

Please, wait a short time for new patch. Current patch has two issues:

1. recent BO_NEEDSGIANT changes prevent patch from applying. I need
to do a merge.
2. I have fixed deadlock that appears when shapshot is taken
on quota-enabled fs (this deadlock is specific to my patch).
Supposely, this is problem reported by Kris Kennaway.
