Subject: [PATCH 2.6.27.y 08/11] vfs: Remove the range_cont writeback mode.
Date: Mon, 15 Mar 2010 20:26:02 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1268699165-17461-9-git-send-email-tytso@mit.edu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1268699165-17461-1-git-send-email-tytso@mit.edu>

From: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

commit 74baaaaec8b4f22e1ae279f5ecca4ff705b28912 upstream.

Ext4 was the only user of range_cont writeback mode and ext4 switched
to a different method. So remove the range_cont mode which is not used
in the kernel.
