Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/8] mm: kill vm_operations_struct->remap_pages

Message-ID: <20140519150339.GA9300@infradead.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1399387052-31660-3-git-send-email-kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com>
I think this should be split into two patches and go first in the
series:
1) remove all instances but shmem and generic_file_vm_ops given that
remap_file_pages already doesn't work on anything that has a backing
store and all these are dead
2) kill the method and make the syscall call generic_file_remap_pages
directly as this is a core VM feature.
These two should go first because they make sense even if we can't
actually go with the emulation yet.
