The functionality of ext3 is fully supported by ext4 driver. Major distributions (SUSE, RedHat) already use ext4 driver to handle ext3 filesystems for quite some time. There is some ugliness in mm resulting from jbd cleaning buffers in a dirty page without cleaning page dirty bit and also support for buffer bouncing in the block layer when stable pages are required is there only because of jbd. So let's remove the ext3 driver. This saves us some 28k lines of duplicated code. Acked-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

Ext3 Filesystem
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
Ext3 was originally released in September 1999. Written by Stephen Tweedie
|
|
for the 2.2 branch, and ported to 2.4 kernels by Peter Braam, Andreas Dilger,
|
|
Andrew Morton, Alexander Viro, Ted Ts'o and Stephen Tweedie.

|
Ext3 is the ext2 filesystem enhanced with journalling capabilities. The
|
|
filesystem is a subset of ext4 filesystem so use ext4 driver for accessing
|
|
ext3 filesystems.
