A few things I'd like to talk about are:

- the address space operations APIs, and their page based nature. I think
it would be nice to generally move toward offset,length based ones as
much as possible because it should give more efficiency and flexibility
in the filesystem.

- write_begin API if it is still an issue by that date. Hope not :)

- truncate races

- fsblock if it hasn't been shot down by then

- how to make complex API changes without having to fix most things
yourself.

I'd like to add:

-revamping filemap_xip.c

-memory mappable swap file (I'm not sure if this one is appropriate
for the proposed meeting)
