Re: [f2fs-dev] [PATCH 0/2 v5] add ioctl/sysfs to donate file-backed pages

[Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org>]

Still NAC for sneaking in an almost undocumented MM feature into
a file system ioctl.  Especially while a discussion on that is still
ongoin.

And it's still bad that you don't even bother to Cc fsdevel on this,
nor linux-api or in this case the mm list.
