This patch doesn't apply cleanly to the current Ubuntu Maverick linux
kernel as it appears we're already carrying a version of this patch:
commit ce3cdc8812cc8a6f5645a9c372c7d6227676a7e5
Author: Arjan van de Ven <ar...@linux.intel.com>
Date: Sun Oct 25 15:37:04 2009 -0700
UBUNTU: SAUCE: vfs: Add a trace point in the mark_inode_dirty function
There's only a 1 line discrepancy (see below) between what we currently
have in the Maverick Ubuntu kernel and the patch inlined below. Care to
re-send an updated patch to only add the additional one line change?
Care to also include your SOB on the patch?
Thanks,
Leann

Looks like the above line is the only additional change from what we
already have.
