Cannot find jffs2_commit_write

Cannot find jffs2_commit_write

[nick]

Greetings David and others on the list,
I seem to not be able to locate jffs2_commit_write by searching with lxr. If someone can tell me what file the function is located in that would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Nick

That's because it does not exist. Presumably someone forgot to update
an error message when it was renamed (before it entered mainline in ... 2002!

BTW, please clone Linus' git tree instead of lurking in lxr for real development
(I assume that's what you want to do? ;-)

Thanks Geert,
I am wondering then why do we still have this message in the TODO file for jffs2,
- disable compression in commit_write()?. If anyone can explain why this is still
needed I will gladly look into it, otherwise I am sending a patch to remove this
TODO for jffs2.
Regards Nick
P.S. I do am linus's tree cloned, I am using lxr only for searching the recent tree.
