The code in question originally came from ext2, when the a_ops used in
XIP mode did not have a readpage function. And since there is an
outstanding XIP patch set that Matthew Wilcox has been working on, I
was going to NACK this. Howeveer, it looks like the lines in question
are getting removed in the most recent version of the XIP patch set
that I've seen, so it it seems the only problem is this will cause a
minor patch conflict with XIP.
So I'll accept this, and assume the XIP folks aren't going to object....

Are you sure about the origins of that check, Ted? It's not there in current ext2, and current XIP code calls the generic xip_file_mmap() method, not an ext2/4 specific one. In any case, yes, no objection from my side to removing this check.

That was my memory, but I admit I haven't gone diving into the pre-git linux-history tree to make sure..... But in any case, the only possible potential conflict would have been on the XIP patch set, and it doesn't seem to be an issue there. (BTW, what's the current status on the XIP patch set? I admit I've gotten too busy to track its status lately. There were a bunch of comments from mm and core vfs folks, but that was a while ago. What's still left to be resolved at this point?) - Ted -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
