ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.0-test6/2.6.0-test6-mm2/ . A large series of VFS patches from Al Viro which replace usage of file->f_dentry->d_inode->i_mapping with the new file->f_mapping. This is mainly so we can get disk hot removal right. . More work on the O_DIRECT-vs-buffered data coherency problem. It's still not quite there.
