          happen is unclear however so it is worth waiting until someone hits
          the problem.
-       - Enable the code for setting the NT4 compatibility flag when we start
-         making NTFS 1.2 specific modifications.

+2.1.29 - Fix a deadlock at mount time.
+
+       - During mount the VFS holds s_umount lock on the superblock.  So when
+         we try to empty the journal $LogFile contents by calling
+         ntfs_attr_set() when the machine does not have much memory and the
+         journal is large ntfs_attr_set() results in the VM trying to balance
+         dirty pages which in turn tries to that the s_umount lock and thus we
+         get a deadlock.  The solution is to not use ntfs_attr_set() and
+         instead do the zeroing by hand at the block level rather than page
+         cache level.
+       - Fix sparse warnings.

+2.1.28 - Fix a deadlock.
+
+       - Fix deadlock in fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_put_inode().  Thanks to Sergey
+         Vlasov for the report and detailed analysis of the deadlock.  The fix
+         involved getting rid of ntfs_put_inode() altogether and hence NTFS no
+         longer has a ->put_inode super operation.

        - Fix comparison of $MFT and $MFTMirr to not bail out when there are
          unused, invalid mft records which are the same in both $MFT and
          $MFTMirr.
+       - Add support for sparse files which have a compression unit of 0.
+       - Remove all the make_bad_inode() calls.  This should only be called
+         from read inode and new inode code paths.
+       - Limit name length in fs/ntfs/unistr.c::ntfs_nlstoucs() to maximum
+         allowed by NTFS, i.e. 255 Unicode characters, not including the
+         terminating NULL (which is not stored on disk).
+       - Improve comments on file attribute flags in fs/ntfs/layout.h.
+       - Fix a bug in fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_read_locked_index_inode() where we
+         forgot to update a temporary variable so loading index inodes which
+         have an index allocation attribute failed.
+       - Add a missing call to flush_dcache_mft_record_page() in
+         fs/ntfs/inode.c::ntfs_write_inode().

        - Add pointer to ntfs_volume to ntfs_inode.
