Subject: [09/25] vfs: Remove the range_cont writeback mode.
Date: Tue, 25 May 2010 11:09:07 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100525181212.973814409@clark.site> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100525181259.GA18630@kroah.com>
2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
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.
